Wireless Camera Info

Over the last few months I have seen a steady rise in sales from my store of wireless DVR kits. DVR stands for digital video recorder. This wireless receiver allows you to record motion in either AVI or jpeg format to a SD card. These wireless DVR kits can accommodate up to 4 wireless cameras and you can mix and match ie 2 indoor cameras and 2 outdoor cameras or which ever your needs are. This makes this wireless technology both versatile and very affordable at the same time.

I have been fielding all sorts of questions, people are very happy to learn they can easily integrate the wireless DVR in to their preexisting wireless camera configuration. As long as your system matches the 2.4 Ghz DVR you can use it with any wireless camera in that same spectrum. You see it does not matter how many receivers you have, you can have one on each TV set, so adding a wireless DVR is no issue. Something to think about, a painless way to beef up your wireless security system.

Some people are quite dismayed by funny little lines showing up on their receivers from their wireless cameras. This does not denote faulty product, the lines you see are caused by noise interference, things like wireless routers, cordless telephones and even microwave can have some impact on the noise. Generally speaking it’s not too bad when you have a wireless dvr  and some decent wireless cameras, you can easily make out who just stole your bike for instance.  Do your best to place your wireless cameras away from other devices that may interfere with it. The technology is improving for sure.  Be careful of anything analogue (ie 900MHz) and possibly the 1.2 GHz spectrum as well as they can be more susceptible to greater noise levels and there range is quite often more limited. Most standard  wireless cameras now are 2.4 GHz and moving steadily in the 5.8 GHz spectrum.  This little blurb is only for informational purposes, just to let people know the lines are normal and wireless cameras are a great cost effective tool in crime prevention and safety for your family and belongings.

I took the above picture with one of our wireless CCD cameras, notice the lines. That’s what I’m talking about here.

The wireless DVR (which stands for digital video recorder) is a low cost, yet effective tool in recording what is happening when you are away or sleeping.  Even  some of the basic models will record either in avi format (video) or take pictures in jpeg format. A 2Gig SD card will run for about a week (on the picture setting) It will also depend on how the  wireless DVR is set up such as sensitivity to motion and so on. The SD card, quite often will just record over it’s self (looping)  so you don’t have to mess with it once you have it set up the way you want.  The wireless DVR can be plugged into your TV for easy viewing using a RCA type cable. This unit is really simple to use and set up. It may take a bit of tweaking until you have it the way you want, you can run up to 4 wireless cameras on the DVR and have it auto switch between them so you can cover all 4 zones.  For the price it’s not a bad way to go. Should you have any question please just email them to me.

From time to time there are situations that require surveillance, yet it would be impractical to wire up a sting of cameras. Situations such as construction sites and homes that are being built. So often job sites become victims of thieves  looking for a quick easy target such as tools and quite often they will steal doors and even bathtubs right out of homes that are still under construction. This is a perfection situation for a wireless  DVR and some wireless cameras since as long as you have power you can mount the cameras any where to watch the job site at night. In the event anything goes missing you will now have recourse. This is a very affordable method to fight crime in a passive mannerism.

If you are looking for a wireless camera solution for your home or office, it should be duly noted that when it comes to cameras you get what you pay for. These basically means if you go cheap you may be disappointed.  Not to say that there are some good value packages out here that provide decent wireless cameras for a good price, but I would be extremely weary as a consumer on any one that is promoting cheap wireless cameras because that more often than not is what they really are, CHEAP. I have tested many different types, brands and sizes and I have seen drastic difference in low end to even the middle of the road wireless cameras. Most cheap wireless cameras have poor picture quality some times to the point where you can’t even tell whats in the picture. Another thing to watch out for is any wireless cameras that are not at least 2.4 GHz, due to the nature of wireless camera technology you can get noise interference. It is much more apparent with the 1.2 GHz and even more so with the analogue 900 MHz and the range is much less as well. This is not to say that these types don’t have there place for some applications, my point here is to be informed and if you can, spend a bit more. This is for your own security so I would say it would be wise to investigate a bit before you buy.

I just bought a new Black Berry Bold 9700. It is the slickest phone that being said being on the G3 networks I can seamless view my wireless IP cameras virtually any where in the world. Between WiFi and the cellular network I can always check in on my property to see whats how things are going. My wireless IP cameras also informs me of any activity on the property by way of email. The camera will send photos of the activity right to my cell phone. This is super handy for security and also for safety. Talk about peace of mind

Of almost all of the home security measures you can employ. I can think of none that is more effective and less evasive then the use of a wireless camera security system. Alarm systems can’t see whats going on and dogs can be noisy among other issues. With a wireless DVR and a few wireless security cameras placed around your property, you can be sure if any thing should happen, you will have the evidence needed to catch the perps. The police just love having a nice picture of the perp they are looking for, this makes there job easier and better odds of catching the bad guy! This method of home security is probably the most cost effective method available today. Something to think about, maybe for your home or for a loved one. Why not a wireless DVR.

Wireless cameras can be used for a wide range of functions. Since these cameras are wireless you can use them almost any were, some wireless cameras can run on a 9 volt battery, making them truly wireless. This kind of camera gives you options for example if you run a daycare for small kids you could use the camera to keep an eye on the sleeping babies while entertaining the older kids, virtually being in more than one place at any given time. Another good idea is if you have a building that is not secured ie a garage or shed you could use the camera to watch it for you. Hey the sky is the limit with these convenient and inexpensive cameras

Sounds kind of weird but yes your wireless IP cameras can in-fact send you emails of what is going on when you are away either from your shop our house. This tool can be handy for a multitude of reasons such as watching employees or keeping man eye on your live stock. With motion detect and mail on alarm setting you are always in the know when it comes to the things that need to be looked after. Something to think about if you want security and peace of mind at an affordable price.

In this day and age people are finding them selves victims of break ins and other forms of property crimes. That being said there are some really cost effective measures you can take to help secure your home and personal property while you are not there. One really good innovation the the wireless DVRs, this little device is really hand it records on motion detect which means when movement is detected it takes a picture ans store it on a SD card. the wireless dvr along with a wireless camera or two can help you fight crime in a passive way. Should anything happen to your home or property you will have the evidence to aid the police in a arrest. Take it to the bad guys.
