Control Everything With Your Mobile Phone http://nuwire.net/blog/2010/02/13/control-everything-with-your-mobile-phone/ http://nuwire.net/blog/2010/02/13/control-everything-with-your-mobile-phone/#comments Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:36:03 +0000 Administrator http://nuwire.net/blog/?p=340 BlackberryControllerA universal remote control is only good if it is really, truly universal: something few companies have managed to do thus far. Unify4Life has. Its AVShadow, which launched today for $100, turns a Blackberry into a remote capable of controlling virtually every component of your home entertainment system. TiVos, Blu-Ray players, iPods and VCRs can be launched with a click. Place the minute, Bluetooth-equipped AVShadow next to your entertainment center, download the app and you’re done.

Two more modules, one to open your garage door and one that controls macs or PCs (think the Apple remote, but more expansive) are set to launch later this year for $40 and $30 respectively. Eventually, the apps will let you control thermostats, baby monitors and more. The interface is clean and intuitive, and there are thoughtful extras like TV listings and music-streaming capabilities. The company is working on a version for iPhones and another for Android, so guys with too much time on their hands might want to start rigging up the mood lighting now. PopSci.com

In our busy lives we need instant information about package deliveries at home, employee performance on the sales floor or high traffic areas. Remote viewing cameras have been around for several years but being able to view and control your security cameras on your mobile phone is a new phenomenon that became very affordable.
LTS8camLT Security has put together an 8 security camera system that you can view online through your computer, Blackberry and other 3G mobile phones. With 500G of space you can view stored video weeks and months ago as well as live video. The included 8 cameras comes with infrared lighting to view during low light conditions, all for $799.

At that price you can get a professional camera installer to install this system for you. Expect the installation cost to be between $65 to $125 per camera depending on the difficulty of each camera placement.

Now with large screen televisions falling every 6 months in price and new installation techniques and tools to install them, home theaters are becoming more the norm than the exception. They are also doubling up as command centers to view home surveillance cameras or the cameras at the office remotely.

Security Camera Installation http://nuwire.net/blog/2009/11/16/security-camera-installation/ http://nuwire.net/blog/2009/11/16/security-camera-installation/#comments Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:13:53 +0000 Administrator http://nuwire.net/blog/?p=179 Installer2 Installing security cameras at your home or place of business should be taken seriously. it is better to get an experienced security camera installer the first time then to wait until something goes horribly wrong and find out that your camera system wasn’t up to the task.
I have been a camera system installer for over 9 years and over those years I found that my customers main concern was will I be around to maintain or fix the system throughout the years. When you invest in a security system you want to make sure your investment Secures you for some time to come. Quiz your potential installer and make sure the model he is installing for your home or business is not his first. Also make sure he gives you details on how he is going to install your system and how much time he is willing to spend on training you or someone you trust on how to use the system.
Depending on your budget you may want to have a maintenance agreement to cover anything that may go wrong with the cameras or recording system. Cameras are no different than light bulbs in the fact that they can have a limited life span. Most cameras last for 2-3 years when they are on continuously. Unfortunately just like a light bulb they may go out suddenly right after a few weeks and the hard drive in your camera recorder (DVR) may overheat. Most maintenance contracts cover incidents like this and can give you a greater peace of mind. Some camera installers try to give you the most affordable cameras and installation to fit your budget without a maintenance contract but will be able to fix your camera problem in the future for an hourly fee if something goes wrong after 30 days.
I prefer offering a maintenance contract along with the installation but it all depends on the customers security budget.

Chicago’s 3,000 New Security Cameras http://nuwire.net/blog/2009/11/12/chicagos-3000-new-security-cameras/ http://nuwire.net/blog/2009/11/12/chicagos-3000-new-security-cameras/#comments Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:37:24 +0000 Administrator http://nuwire.net/blog/?p=119 ChicagoCamerasIn July, CHA moved forward with a $23 million plan to install over 3,000 new security cameras in public housing developments across the city.The authority says the plan will “ensure the safety and well-being of its residents.”

Three-thousand one hundred and ninety eight cameras. That sounds like a lot, right?
Mayor Daley made a comment when he was visiting New Orleans to the city’s mayor, Ray Nagin.
“Look, I like these crime cameras you guys are doing in New Orleans. They’re cheaper than hiring more police officers and we’re going to do them in a big way in Chicago,” Daley said, according to Nagin during an appearance on the local FOX affiliate.

Go to the city of Chicago website to see a map of the proposed camera placements.

2009 Best Business Camera System http://nuwire.net/blog/2009/10/18/2009-best-business-camera-systems/ http://nuwire.net/blog/2009/10/18/2009-best-business-camera-systems/#comments Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:16:47 +0000 Administrator http://nuwire.net/blog/?p=54 DVRcdView-415x299 Here’s the good news, every year the price of high-end security cameras and camera recorders becomes more and more affordable. The bad news is, there are so many products out there it is becoming harder and harder to choose the right camera solution for you.

To Help you find the the best affordable cameras for your business, I collected a short list of cameras, recording devices (DVR’s) and peripherals I have found in 2009 that seems to give my customers the quality they are looking for in a camera system.

Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Q-See_8camOne of the best deals in 2009 for DVR’s is the new Q-See 8-Cam DVR with 320Gigs of hard drive space and mobile phone surveillance (meaning you can watch your cameras from 95% of mobile phones in use today) and of course it is viewable from any Internet connected computer.
This 16 channel DVR features remote Internet monitoring and mobile surveillance through cell phones with WinCE and Symbian OS on 3G networks. The H.264 compression allows for maximum storage and little loss of quality, while recording video on to the pre-installed 320GB hard drive. It can simultaneously display live footage, record, playback, connect via network, and back-up without any recording loss. Connect to a television or VGA monitor and view up to 16 cameras at the same time. Q-See solutions are the perfect answer for keeping your family secure, protecting your assets against theft, or managing your staff and resources more effectively. This easy to install complete security package has everything you need to setup a secure home or business. With Q-See, surveillance can be handled remotely & worldwide.  Installation is a breeze since the system is self contained and works great right out of the box.

PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) Camera
PTZCam-147x122PTZ cameras use to cost thousands per unit, which made it cost prohibited to use. We’ve all seen them in cop and spy movies were someone zooms in from down the street to view a license plate hundreds of feet away. You can also zoom and move the camera 360 degrees right from your mobile phone with the right DVR.
Most consumers buy there PTZ cameras from their installers who charge up to $2,000 per camera. You can save an awful amount of money buy purchasing the camera yourself but be forewarned, Make sure your installer has experience in installing PTZ cameras before he touches your camera. Not only can he accidentally damage the camera but if he’s charging you an hourly fee for installation you can be out of a lot of money while he’s learning how to install one on your dime.
