Check Out The New GeoVision GV LX4C3D1 Four Channel Compact DVR

January 17th, 2012

GeoVision just released their new line of compact DVR’s that accept analog CCTV cameras, and have all the features of a GeoVision DVR when connected to the recently updated Center V2 Central Monitoring Software v8.5. The GeoVision GV LX4C3D1 Four Channel Compact DVR is a small format, 4 camera digital video recorder that will let you connect 4 of your old, or high quality new CCTV cameras, and record on up to 2TB of storage in the one bay unit.

So lets say you got a store or two with some decent cameras and a VCR or ancient DVR. Well that thing will one day break, or you can’t find, or are sick of messing with video tapes, and want to enter the 21st century of video surveillance. How easy would it be to migrate to this? How about taking the same cables that run from the cameras, and connecting them to this puppy, and you are recording to a tiny box that has a foot print smaller than a piece of paper (9.6 x 7 x 3.4 inches, 244 x 176 x 86 mm for you foreigners). It’s like installing a GeoVision DVR card in your PC and turning it into your recorder without the hassles of the PC platform.

The benefits of this is that it’s an embedded Linux O/S, NOT Windows, so it’s immune from viruses, constant annoying Windows reminders, and uses much less electricity, so you can say you are a green company saving the planet.

GeoVision has been the leader in DVR cards for years, and their GeoVision Center V2 Central Monitoring Station Software is up to version 8.5. After spending 3 days getting certified in it last month, we have developed a deeper love, almost a lust with GeoVision. Not only can you access the video from up to 500 DVR’s from all over the world, you can view the live images from up to 800 cameras.

However, that don’t mean squat if you got 2-3 stores and just want to keep a handle on them. The free version lets you watch up to 160 cameras from 5 DVR Card based DVR’s, NVR’s, or Compact DVR’s. Installing 1 of these at each location, and not having to drop some coin on replacing the cameras yet is a great way to transition to the 21st century. When you are ready, GeoVision makes some great IP cameras, though when you can still get decent 550+ line analog cameras for 1/2 the price, and you are on a budget, this product is a God send. When you are ready to go digital, we’ll take you there.

January 12th, 2012

The Windows Breaker Password Cracking Utility breaks any PC Password. One thing that is guaranteed, your employees are surfing the web, shopping, watching dirty movies, and doing many things you do not want them to do. Another is that many employees put a password on the computer you are letting them use. It’s not theirs, it’s yours, and you have a right to see what they are doing on there.

Or you fire an employee for whatever reason, and you can’t get in the computer he was using to see what he was doing. Up until now, you could only erase the drive, erasing all the data.

If you need to access your PC’s with a password you don’t know, Paraben recently introduced their Windows Breaker Password Cracking Utility, a flash drive device that allows you to get into any PC. Unlike other programs that try to recover a password, the Windows Breaker Password Cracking Utility gives you access to your files, change the password, and move on.

The Edic Mini Tiny A31 Is Finally Back In Stock

January 10th, 2012

TS-Market finally started making their Edic Mini Tiny A31 Worlds Smallest Covert Digital Audio Recorder, after almost a year of being out of stock. The Edic Mini Tiny A31 is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest digital recorder on earth!

Edic mini Tiny A31 Worlds Smallest Covert Digital Audio Recorder

TS-Market has a wide range of these mini covert audio recorders, though most of them have removable batteries. The A31 has internal rechargeable batteries, which makes this one of the most popular models, as it will run for up to 25 hours of straight recording, up to 140 hours on voice activation mode, and up to 5 months in stand-by.

However, do NOT buy this if you plan on using it 1 or 2x per year as the battery will go bad on you. If you own one of these, or are considering buying one, you need to keep it charged at least weekly or bi-weekly. Do not let it sit for months or it won’t perform for you and it won’t be covered by warranty.

And if you can’t program a VCR, don’t buy this either because some people just can’t make them work and end up returning them. Here are our digital audio recorders if you want a one-button use product.

GeoVision 360 Degree Fisheye Cameras Have Great Auto Tracking Features

December 22nd, 2011

We just finished day two of three days of Certification over @ GeoVision’s USA offices in Irvine, and it’s been worth every second. GeoVision has always been the gold standard for their GeoVision DVR cards, which turn a PC into a Digital Video Recorder, they had been lacking in network IP cameras.

GeoVision 4 Megapixel Fish Eye Camera

That’s all changed in the last few months with GeoVision launching a ton of new IP cameras, and one of the coolest is their GeoVision 4MP Fisheye IP Camera 360 degree megapixel cameras. While the ability to film a complete room with one camera, and the ability to break it up into either 2 or 4 quadrants, and have them rotate with software enhancement is cool, the auto tracking feature blew us away.

When the auto tracking feature is enabled, the camera will automatically track a person or object when it enters the picture, while they walk around the room.

And their latest version of their 8.5 software has many, many improvements. If you are running older software, you must upgrade to 8.5 for many reasons. One is the ability to run higher frame rates due to it utilizing the CPU more efficiently.

And the latest version uses the Sandy Bridge feature in the new Intel CPU’s that let the software hand off some of the processing to the GPU, instead of dumping it all on the CPU, resulting in a 20% drop in CPU load from 70% to about 50%. I am foaming at the mouth!

If all that has your head spinning faster than Linda Blair in the Exorcist, give us a call and we can splain it in layman’s terms.

Axton Technologies Infrared Illuminators Light Up The Night

December 6th, 2011

We recently added the Axton line of Infrared Illuminators, and if you have lighting issues with your video surveillance system, you should look at Axton Technologies Infrared Illuminators. They are an up & coming company that focuses on one thing, providing the best Infrared Illuminators on the market. They use high standards to build high quality equipment at an affordable price. All of their products use a heavy duty constructed housing is completely sealed against the elements, and is waterproof (IP-66 rated).

All Axton products are covered by a lifetime warranty, and are made in the USA. Oversaturation of artificial light or light pollution has a deleterious effect on humans, and animals react negatively to it. With a drive toward a green philosophy, the create products that drastically reduce light pollution and help make the world greener.

Axton Technologies Infrared Illuminators

Axton makes some very covert IR Illuminators. They offer two types, the older 850 nanometer IR’s that have a slight red glow under their black plastic face, and the invisible to the human eye 940 nanometer technology. What is great about Axton is that they also make them in four versions, with four different illumination distances & angles, in short, medium, and long range distances.

The Alpha Series have internal 12V DC regulated power supply with over voltage protection, and the back panel features built-in photocell that acts as an automatic day/night switch, and one or two tripod sockets for additional mounting options and convenience. The B Series is the same with no photocell, and they are turned on & off manually.

The third is their Power over Ethernet (PoE) Megapixel series which simplify system design and installation by allowing a SINGLE PoE enabled cable to power up both the IR illuminator and the camera. There are 3 versions, one is powered by PoE so you don’t have to run power to the illuminator, the 1 series powers both the IR and your camera, and the 2 series is PoE and will also trigger I/O alarms.

The Smart series can be remotely controlled by wire to adjust output power and photocell threshold, as well as externally triggered to emit a single or a sequence of light pulses. Digital I/O ports allow to synchronize illuminator with cameras or any other external alarming devices, and to activate peripheral devices at the same time. The SMART series IR illuminators also have extended DC/AC input. All these features allow easy integration of the IR illuminators into existing security system and to improve and expand performances of the entire network.

Hard Drive Prices Spike, Thanks Thailand!

December 1st, 2011

Unless you are living under a rock, you heard that there is a large shortage of hard drives that have caused prices to almost triple due to the worst flood to hit Thailand in over fifty years. As you can see in these images, Western Digital has been hit hard by the flooding and the company has suspended production in Thailand. Obviously, it’s going to take some time for Western Digital to recover from the flood damage to its factories. Other hard drive manufacturers (such as Seagate) will also be affected as component suppliers have experienced flooding.

Western Digital Flooded

Sniff, brings back good memories of Soi Cowboy!

According to Western Digital CEO John Coyne, it will all add up to a significantly reduced supply of hard drives into 2012. CRN reports that prices on hard drives are already rising in distribution channels and companies in the industry are watching inventory closely; some distributors may be stockpiling drives rather than selling them until the situation on the ground becomes clearer. Just how the shortage will ultimately affect consumers is also up in the air and will depend on how Western Digital and its distributors allocate existing inventory.

PC makers are taking notice, however: Apple CEO Tim Cook is on the record as expecting “an overall industry shortage of disk drives” and a Dell spokesperson said the company is “working with our hard drive suppliers to address potential impact for the remainder of the year.”

Due to the rapid daily fluctuations, we are not able to keep up with the constant changes on our web site, and any orders for products that require hard drives will be higher than posted until this problem settles down. Any order for Digital Video Recorders or Network Video Recorders, or anything requiring a hard drive will be higher than posted, and we will notify you of the price before we run your order.

It’s best to call us before you make an order to get a current price.

ACTi KCM-7111 Vandal Proof Dome Network Camera Can Withstand An Occupy Wall Street Protest

November 25th, 2011

ACTi has come out with the most beautiful video on their new 4 megapixel network cameras, and we want to post another clip for you of the ACTi KCM-7111 H.264 4-Megapixel IP Day Night Vandal Proof PoE Rugged Dome. If you are looking to install new cameras, or replace old cameras, the ACTi 4 megapixel dome cameras offer exceptional video quality, at a reasonable price, and come with great software, or integrate into most 3rd party network camera software from LuxRiot,, and QNAP.

A rugged vandal proof dome is designed for public places indoor or outdoor, and can withstand hits with sticks and rocks. While they are not bullet proof, they will take the abuse dished out by the Occupy Wall Street socialist/commie punks. Seems a few dozen to a few thousand are popping up like zits on a fat man’s arse all over our great country. And while I have been just too busy lately quoting large camera installations to rant my political opinions, now is the time I flap my lips. These punks have no respect for public or private property, and will not think twice about breaking your windows, smashing your property, and generally being royal pain’s in the arses.

While this is America, and you can voice your opinion as much as you like, these bastards are replicating European style anarchy that is hell-bent on destroying the Republic, and turning this once great country into some kind of commie, pinko socialist poop hole where all activities designed to make a profit are evil and abolished. While I totally agree that our Government is hell bent out of control, and need to stop spending and not raise one more dime of revenue, I don’t want some smelly dread locked person living @ Mom’s to get in my way and delay my daily routines by blocking the streets so I can’t drive to where I need to, or go to my bank to deposit the huge profits us capitalists make every hour. These people are really 1%’rs, not 99%ers. With over 300 million people in the USA, these people hardly even make up 1% of the population. You don’t speak for the majority of Americans who love capitalism, who love to make money. Money is not evil, you are evil. We strive to make the biggest profit we can.

This is the USA, not a socialist country. It’s not fair, it can’t be equal, and it never was designed to be. Quit crying about equality because the only things you are guaranteed here is the right to pursue your own dreams, smelly brown stuff will come out of your butt, and you will die. Make the most of it and quit complaining. Become your own Steve Jobs, invent the next greatest thing. However, the only thing you will invent crying about things is your own demise. If you want a handout, go to a country in Europe that loves to give all the taxes away to foreigners. This is American damit, and we are not a socialist state and it’s high time we toss out the bums like Pelosi, Reid, and all democrats, and put in people who want to save the Republic.

Anyway, they will soon be coming to a town near you, and you don’t want some panty waist camera out there, you want a rugged, high quality, ACTi 4 MP vandal proof dome to record their activities.

ACTi KCM-7111 H.264 4-Megapixel IP Day Night Vandal Proof PoE Rugged Dome

ACTi has this great software that installs on a newer PC, and you can watch the zombies from your iPhone while you are counting your millions at BOA. The first 16 cameras are free, or look at their new line of NVR’s, the GNR-2000 Desktop Standalone NVR, which accepts up to 10TB of storage, and comes with 4 licenses. You can add up to 12 more licenses for a total of 16 cameras. The XNR 4200 64 Camera Rack mount Standalone NVR comes with 16 licensees, and can accept up to 64 on a rack mount that takes up to 12TB of storage.

Whew, enough, my blood is boiling and my eyes are about to pop.

ACTi’s Amazing 4 Megapixel Zoom Network Cameras

November 19th, 2011

ACTi recently released a ton of new network cameras and network video recorders and we are blown away. So I recently slithered over to ACTi’s Irvine, CA office, and they went through a few demonstrations of their new 4 megapixel IP cameras like the ACTi KCM 5211E 18x Zoom H.264 4 Megapixel PoE Outdoor IP Camera.

ACTi KCM 5211E 18x Zoom H.264 4 Megapixel PoE Outdoor IP Camera

The KCM-5211E is an outdoor zoom camera that has stunning long range capabilities to let you zoom right in on license plates or faces. With 18x optical zoom, it rivals my eyes for their advanced features.

Check out this demo video of the KCM-5211E on YouTube of a license plate close-up, across a parking lot!:

If you need to watch over a parking lot, or anywhere you need to zoom in for a better look, you can’t go wrong with the ACTi line of 4 megapixel indoor or outdoor zoom cameras.
