Thursday, July 15th, 2010

We just found out that the Pro Pocket Hi Res DVR was replaced by the 3 Hour HD Handheld Pocket DVR, which has a ton of improvements, and is one of our most popular Pocket DVR’s.

If you are a Copper, Gum Shoe, Security Guard, Loss Prevention, or just want to record hidden surveillance video, like the kid who recorded all the ACORN employees who went out of their way to help the pimp and his ho’s get government handouts, you’re gonna love the 3 Hour Hand Held Pocket Vr.

We call them Pocket DVR’s because, what else, they fit in your pocket, and this one can power several different cameras, so you can either add a button camera, Baseball Cap Covert Wired Camera, Bullet Camera, Necktie Covert Wired Camera, Leather Handbag Covert Wired Camera, or the Tactical Headset Camera, so you can play SWAT with your buddies.

You can now record video anywhere from 320×240 to 1280×960 resolution, use up to 32GB mini SD cards, and record for up to 3 hours. Plenty of time to record your subject…

Speco Hybrid DVRs Can Add IP Cameras And Salvage Your CCTV Camera Investment

Friday, June 18th, 2010

If you have a aging CCTV camera video surveillance system that you invested too much money into, and find yourself drooling over the new Network IP Cameras, then there is hope. Speco announces the Speco H.264 16 Camera Hybrid Pentaplex Digital Video Recorder Family with Network DDNS Video Server, which is a new line of hybrid DVR’s that will let you hook up analog CCTV and network ip cameras.

If you have CCTV cameras that are working for you, you have 3 options if you need to expand:

  • You can leave it alone and add more CCTV cameras, running more cable, though you can go to a video balun set up to make that easy.
  • You can invest in a Hybrid DVR that will allow you to hook up analog and digital cameras.
  • You can buy encoders that will convert the feed to digital, making the camera a network camera.

We will cover the Hybrid DVR in this post, and cover the encoder idea in another post. A hybrid DVR is a great way to transition into the digital world, as it’s still a fully functional DVR that you are use to, it will also let you expand with network cameras, which you can’t do with your current DVR.

QNAP Makes IP Network Camera Installation A Snap

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

With Network IP cameras becoming more and more popular, leave it to QNAP to come out with an easy to use Network Video Recorder (NVR) that is perfect for home and small business use.

A NVR is needed to record your video. The beauty of an NVR is that it does not have to be at the location of the cameras. With CCTV cameras, you have to have your DVR at the location, and there is no way you can perform offsite recording, unless you either burn a DVR and physically move it, or back up to a USB hard drive and move it. With a NVR, the video travels over your local area network, and if you have your NVR on site, you can record right there.

QNAP NVR 104 4 Channel SOHO and Home Owner NVR
QNAP NVR 104 4 Channel SOHO and Home Owner NVR

Or, you can set up the NVR at a different location, and have your cameras send the video to the NVR so there is no recording going on on location. Perfect for any surveillance system because the thief usually steals the DVR, leaving you with no video.

And they work with over 600 cameras, from 32 camera makers, so you should have no problems adding most IP cameras. We will be putting some bundles together with AXIS cameras, ACTi IP cameras, and Vivotek IP cameras, so check back for updates.

Stop Inventory Theft With The AXIS M7001 Mini Video Encoder and Covert Camera

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

One thing lacking of Network IP cameras are hidden cameras. I do not know of any hidden IP Network cameras on the market; do you?

The only way to get a true hidden camera is to use a pinhole lens that sees through a tiny hole in a clock radio, wall clock, fan, or other consumer device.

However, network IP cameras have huge lenses, and would result in a huge hole in the clock radio that would give it away.

So what are you going to do? Well, AXIS released the AXIS M7001 Mini Video Encoder and covert camera kit, which allows you to use a tiny, analog camera, and encode it to digital at the source, turning any wireless or wired CCTV camera into a Network camera for a low cost.

AXIS M7001 Mini Video Encoder With Covert Camera

It includes a little covert analog CCTV camera that has a mini jack plug to not only send the analog video to the digital video encoder, it also powers the camera. Put it in an out of the way place, and you can get great video that would be stored to a standard PC.

What AXIS offers is that you can use a regular PC to store the video, and free software to view and record. Just plug the camera into the encoder, and it will power the camera.

The encoder is PoE compliant, which means it is powered over ethernet, allowing you to run just one ethernet cable from a PoE switch, to the encoder, and it will power it and the camera. Pretty slick, eh?

Then you can view the camera feed live on any Internet connected PC or smart phone.

The beauty of the M7001 video encoder is that any inexpensive analog wired hidden cameras can be hooked up to this device, turning it into a network IP camera. As long as you can power the camera, you can use any inexpensive wired hidden camera, allowing you full remote access, for the price of a SD card nanny cam, which can’t be viewed online.

So if you need a Nanny cam with internet access to watch what your kids, Nanny, or elderly parents caregiver is doing during the day, from work, you are S.O.L.

If you need to watch over your office, home, children, or elderly parents, and you can run a video cable from a wired hidden camera, now you can watch them when you are away.

The AXIS M7001 Mini Video Encoder with Covert camera makes a great way to have a network IP camera filming video, without being obvious, or order it on it’s own with one of our wired or wireless hidden cameras.

Two New Vivotek 2 Megapixel Fixed Dome IP Cameras

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Vivotek just added two new 2 Megapixel Fixed Dome Network IP Cameras, now putting their total Vivotek Megapixel IP Cameras cameras to six.

If you don’t know, a 2 Megapixel IP camera can take stunningly clear surveillance video, that you can zoom in on, and recognize a person, unlike the fuzzy faces you see when you zoom in on a regular CCTV Camera. Unlike a 2 Megapixel digital camera, which is so outdated, its the standard now on mobile phones, 2 Megapixels of video is super high quality, allowing you to zoom right in on a license plate, or face, without it looking pixelated or blurry.

And the great part is these Vivotek cameas are PoE compliant, which means they can not only run the video on normal Cat 5 or ethernet cable, it can also run the power to operate the camea, carry 2-way audio, and control any PTZ function. Can’t do that with a 20th century CCTV camera.

The Vivotek FD8161 2 Megapixel H.264 Day and Night Fixed Dome Network Camera is perfect for indoor applications like theatres, lobbies, schools, or government offices. And 2 Megapixels will give you 6x field of view over a VGA camera, which allows you to install fewer cameras, and cover the same area.

A large lobby can be watched, and you can also have an ePTZ feature, which allows the camera to focus on specific areas, like door entrances or cashiers, and give you the big picture. The video us compressed using H.264 technology, which is 90% smaller than MJPEG, and 50% smaller than MPEG-4. And a smart cropping function allows you to trim certain areas like sky or trees, allowing you to send smaller files over your network, reducing the strain on your bandwidth.

An IR cut filter & IR Illiminators allow the camera to work well during the day, or at night, and most Vivotek caeras are PoE compliant.

The Vivotek FD8361 2 Megapixel H.264 Day and Night Vandal Proof Fixed Dome Camera will give you everthing the FD8161 does, plus it works best in outdoor applications, or indoors where things might get rough. It’s IP66 rated, which means it can survive a major soaking, or dust storm, and keep on ticking.

A vadalproof camera can withstand a hit by a bat, stick, or rock, and work well at schools, public locations, or watching your back dock or back yard. Both of these Vivotek fixed dome cameras come with free software, and have smart features to alert you if the camera is moved, or covered with something like spray paint or trash bag.

Does Your Surveillance System Have A Battery Powered Back Up Camera?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Up in Placentia, California, some Brazen punks snatched almost 1/4 Million dollars in computer data storage products from a manufacturer there, as well as a used coffee pot from the business next store?

What, the punks were tired from stealing all that merchandise over a 36 hour period, so they had to make some extra strong joe to keep them a going? I though they used crystal meth???

Anyway, the company had an alarm system with security cameras, motion detection, the works. And this was no amateur job, they cut out a hole in the back of the building and there is no record of any alarms going off, or any cameras catching anything, from the time the owner armed the system on Saturday night, until it was turned off Monday morning.

The thieves managed to not only cut a huge hole in the wall, they were not filed doing it, nor was any of the alarms tripped to contact the security company. Imagine that. The alarm company claims they found the equipment in working order, so how on earth can they bypass it?

That’s one for Colombo, however, a simple easy to use, battery powered, back-up security cameras for the security system for under a grand makes so much sense for any business owner with a sizeable inventory. A Motion Detection Camera With SD Card will give you video of the punks to give to law enforcement, possibly getting back most of the inventory. Alas, this is not the case & it will probably end up on eBay or Craigs List.

The SecureShot Covert Series Electrical Box Hidden Camera DVR is an innocent looking little electrical box that you can mount anywhere in a warehouse or back part of your building, even outside.

 

SecureShot Covert Series Electrical Box Hidden Camera DVR

Inside the Covert Electric Box hidden camera DVR, you can have the option for color video for day recording, auto switching to b/w video in low light situations. Shoot out the front, or either side to an SD card recorder that will accept up to 32GB, giving you 96 hours of straight video, weeks on motion detection. With internal battery that can go up to 1 year in motion activated sleep mode, you can have a record of who stole what to give to law enforcement.

A word to the wise business owner; even though you have invested over $10-20,000 on surveillance systems, you really should have a battery powered video camera to back up your surveillance system, in case they cut the power, or its David Copperfield, the Amazing Kreskin, or a Vampire, who can not be filmed doing the stealing,

The SecureShot Covert Phantom Sony Cube Radio Hidden Camera With DVR Is No More

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Sadly, we report that we are unable to get any more of the SecureShot Covert Phantom Sony Cube Radio Hidden Camera With DVR, which has been our best selling hidden camera with built-in DVR. Seems Sony is not making that clock radio anymore, and we are not able to find them anywhere.

If you know of a store carrying them, let us know, and we will buy their stock!

Sigh…

However, we do have one Phantom Cube Clock Radio on our shelf, and it’s a dual camera system that works great during the day, or in a completely dark room at night, with it’s built-in infrareds.

And the SecureShot AM FM Clock Weather Radio Hidden Camera DVR also has dual camera options, and built-in infrareds to also see in total darkness. We posted some videos of what they look like in color or b/w, as well as different sizes and frame speeds on each page for you to see what the camera sees.

These are some of our BEST Nanny Cams and Granny Cams. A Granny Cam is used to watch your elderly parents that are either being taken care of in-home by care givers, or if they are in an assisted care facility or hospital. No orderly will know that innocent clock radio you brought in was recording their every move.

These little gems are our best selling security cameras because it can be set up by ANYONE, even if you are all thumbs, like me! We put the 1 or 2 cameras inside, with a tiny SD card recording module, so all you gotta do is plug this puppy in the wall and it will start recording whenever someone comes in front of it. You won’t get a lot of dead air, like using a VCR to record a camera, as it only records when there is motion.

And, it won’t break the bank, it can be moved around your home or business, and they work to catch employee thefts, customer thefts, your nanny stealing or abusing your children, or just to watch your teenager so they stay away from your booze.

My nephew has caused my sister hell, and she actually put locks on her liquore cabinets! The nerve of the youth of today.

Anyway, if you need to watch someone when you are not there, you can’t go wrong with any of our 60+++ Hidden Cameras With Built In DVR.

Security Cameras Catch Pizza Burglars Breaking Into Chuck E. Cheese

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Huntington Beach, CA Police arrested on man in a break-in @ a local Chuck E. Cheese pizza joint. Seems video caught 2 men breaking in for all the pizza they can eat, and scrammed when the COPS showed up.

However, one goof was caught waiting across the street, obviously the get-away driver, who didn’t even end up with a crust of pie. Too bad…

Even though we hear crime is down, there were still 2,222,196 burglaries in 2008 according to the FBI. That’s 2 million, two hundred twenty two thousand, one hundred and ninety six too many, and unless you have a security camera to record them, there will be little, if any chance of you catching them.

So if you are a home owner or business man on a budget, where can you turn besides the cheap, garbage cameras on eBay or @ CostCo?

Well, we just started carrying the SVAT line of video surveillance camera systems. No matter if you are looking for an inexpensive 4 camera system with the DVR built into the monitor, an 8 camera video surveillance system for medium sized homes & businesses, or a web ready 16 video camera system for larger homes & businesses you will find that SVAT offers VALUE!

The Original Catwoman
All In One Web Ready 4 Channel Compact H.264 DVR Security System

I read that value means where price & quality meet. Lets face it, many people are out of work, or business is down, yet you gotta do something to watch over your home or business. The SVAT line offer good, solid, quality waterproof high resolution cameras, with easy to use digital video recorders that have Internet or iPhone/Smart phone accessibility.

Check out all the SVAT line of video security camera systems, as well as the rest of our line and take a bite out of crime, while you take a bite out of pizza…
