As a ‘carry-over’ from the days of analog video security, digital box security cameras still exist today. However, today’s box security camera has such great versatility and flexibility in function that it remains as one of the most popular if not the most popular digital video security camera in use today.
If you are concerned about your own security, you may be looking for personal protection devices to keep you safe and sound. Many people today commute to work on public transportation or work a late shift when most other people are home. This creates an atmosphere that is prime for an assailant that is interested in steeling your personal belongings or worse, personally injuring you.
Many people often ask our security experts “What is the best hidden camera?” The answer to this seemingly simple question is far more complicated than it might seem. In the following article, we’ll take a look at some of the hidden cameras that Security Camera King has to offer and offer a short description of the camera according to type and output of the camera. This should allow you to decide for yourself just exactly what the best hidden camera is for you.
Personal security systems are devices that are portable and normally carried by the individual to protect them in the event of an attack from another person or animal. Personal security systems are becoming evermore popular since more individuals take public transportation to commute to work. Some states have regulatory laws that apply to certain types of personal security systems that limit their use or prohibit their use entirely so it is important that you check with your state’s regulations before obtaining any device.
Security Camera King offers the rock solid operating system of Digital Video Recorders or DVR Linux Security. Our systems are complete standalone digital video systems that require nothing extra to run. They are not dependent on the Internet (although they can be used on the Internet if the owner chooses) and are therefore not subjected to hackers and other potential dangers.
Closed Circuit TeleVision or CCTV surveillance software covers a broad topic of digital programs used to operate digital video security and surveillance systems. While there are plenty of different types of system hardware (cameras, Digital Video Recorders or DVRs, monitors, etc.) most of these components would be useless without CCTV surveillance software.
There are many ways to use the Internet these days to enhance your digital video security system and one such method may be to use a CCTV video server. While the Digital Video Recorder or DVR is the center of the powerhouse for a digital video security and surveillance system, the CCTV video server could be considered its cousin, the major difference between the two being the CCTV video server is designed to work specifically with the Internet.
The Closed Circuit TeleVision or CCTV Video Monitor is one of the most vital components of a CCTV digital video security system. Interestingly however, today’s systems can actually run without one. What’s more, the technology for monitors is constantly improving which means that at today’s changing technological improvements, a monitor bought today could be obsolete a year from now. Read on to find out some more interesting facts about the CCTV video monitor.
Surveillance CCTV software is the intermediary that ties together digital video cameras and Personal Computers (PCs) or Macintosh Computers (Macs) as well as Digital Video Recorder (DVR) units for standalone systems. It’s also the main portion of remote DVR monitoring applications (Apps) that allows your smartphone to access your video security system. It essence it provides the programming that allows you to control the camera, monitor the camera, and record the digital video files.
Surveillance camera lens are slowly beginning to evolve with the technology that supports them. Before the digital age, a good majority of the surveillance cameras required that a lens be purchased for each camera. Presently, some cameras still work that way, but the vast majority has the lens built right into the camera. These lenses are often referred to as “board lenses.”
Do you need a VGA Monitor Converter? It seems as though when computers have reached their point of obsolescence, apparently the monitor just keeps on going, and going, and going…well you get the point. Also, with the relatively recent use of LCD monitors (which supposedly last longer than the older CRT monitors) it seems as though a small surplus of monitors is beginning to amass amongst John Q. Public.
If you would rather use Cat5E instead of RG59 cable, it’s likely that somewhere along the way you will need a passive video balun. Security Camera King carries a full line of baluns both active and passive. Passive video baluns help prevent the degradation of the radio frequency signal over cable.
A wide dynamic camera conjures images of an incredibly large (In a horizontal direction) camera, somewhat like an oversized wide-angle lens. However, that’s not what a wide dynamic camera is at all. In fact, some ultra-small hidden covert cameras are also wide dynamic cameras. So just exactly what is the wide dynamic range of a camera? Read on to find out.
Probably the most common cable joiners in the digital video security systems industry are BNC connections. BNC connectors are easy to use and ensure a sound, full contact connection. BNC connections are different than most other single pair wire connectors (such as RCA plugs, for example) plugs, becuase BNC connections are “locked” in place. The following article is about the origin and use (including applications) of BNC Connections.
The closed circuit security camera has been used for decades. But when the digital world began to affect the digital video security and surveillance world, it opened up numerous new features never available before that made this type of system versatile, powerful, and simple and easy to use.
