Digital video is a new technology that can be used and
manipulated much easier than the old analog signal. This generic
term is not to be confused with the name DV, which is a specific
type of digital video. In the past video was recorded on tape
but today with digital video it can be recorded on tape, DVD or
straight to the hard drive of a computer. This generic term is
not to be confused with the name DV, which is a specific type of
digital video. Digital video can be processed and edited very
easily today, special effects are easy to add with digital
editing.

Digital video can also be edited on a personal computer which
has the proper hardware and software. Regardless of software,
digital video is generally edited and needs quite bit of disk
space to store everything. Digital video is also used in modern
mobile phones and video conferencing systems. The quality of
the digital video is far superior to the analog counterpart.

Artistic people will claim that the quality of digital video is
cold, that you don’t have the warmth of the look of film images.
But one thing is for sure. Digital video is here to stay,
which means that our films of our 25th anniversary celebration
are also here to stay.

These new cameras can record for several hours on end. The
recording is done either on a small videocassette, blank CD or a
DVD. Visuals are continuously recorded by these cameras and can
be played on the screen.

Marketing videos with poor picture quality are likely to
reflect a poor quality company in the mind of the viewer, so try
to get the best quality video you can get. When people talk
about interlacing they are talking about a special technique
that improves the quality of the picture without increasing
extra or more bandwidth. Using a camera that is analog you will
need multiple tapes for long filming, but with digital video you
need plenty of disk space to store all of the video. In the
past when recording with tapes you will lose the quality of the
recording when duplicating the information but with digital
recording you do not have that problem plus the footage will
last forever. Today many of the cameras come with many features
that you only find in professional cameras. You can get better
picture quality when using a more expensive digital camera.

When filming with a DVD format it will allow you to record
right to digital disk, the other type of technologies are HDD
and this allows you to record right to a hard drive. As the
tape format is slowly being phased out by major manufacturers,
it is a good idea to invest in disk or hard drive based digital
video cameras. While this format is very easy to use and is
supported by practically all software it is not efficient as
there is no compression applied.

With digital video cameras today there are features that allow
you to take low or medium quality footage to save space.

==================
Making sure of the safety and security of your family by
installing a home surveillance system is definitely the most
important thing you can do, particularly when you have children,
and possibly older family members that are living in the house
on their own for long periods of time.

How to install a home surveillance system and make your home
secure:

Installing a good home security camera system is most
definitely the best way for having peace of mind, and making
your home more secure, and under full surveillance for twenty
four hours a day. Growing burglary and house breaking statistics
has increased the demand for home security camera systems, there
are lots of different types of security cameras on sale on the
inter-net and in stores today, such as wireless camera security
systems for instance. There are some wireless camera security
kits that have have as many as 12 camera’s in the box, this will
give you the capability of installing a wireless home security
system that will cover the whole house (inside and outside) and
will therefore give you absolute control and surveillance of all
the rooms.

Areas like the garden, back yard, front and back door and
garage that you cannot watch all the time from the house, can be
easily supervised and monitored if you install a good home
security camera system.

How does the home surveillance system work?:

There are two main designs of security camera systems, these
are the wireless system and the wired system. The choice you
make about which system to choose will be dictated by the
requirements needed for your home. Because there are advantages
and disadvantages with both systems, probably the best way to
choose the one that meets your needs is to check them both out
and analyze which system covers most of your requirements.

The wired camera security system usually has better visual and
coverage than that of the wireless camera security design, which
can be more open to sabotaged. So carefully researching both
system’s will help you decide for yourself which one is best for
you.

Buying a home security camera system tips:

It would be best to buy a brand name home security camera
system to ensure good quality and service. There are some good
systems on the market whose performance is outstanding. The
simplest and best way to check which one performs the best is to
read the reviews in magazines or on the web.

Money shouldn’t be an issue when it comes to the safety and
security of your house and family; therefore don’t be influenced
by a cheap price tag, and only by the performance of the product
and company who manufactures the home security camera system.

Installing a house security system will give you the ability to
keep a check on all areas of your house and property 24 hours a
day, therefore, giving you and your family peace of mind.

Main Features Of Digital Cameras

With the introduction of Digital cameras, now you don’t have to
spend on buying rolls after rolls when you are traveling or
while on a holiday, this magic gadget can not only take hundreds
of pictures and store them for you but you can also edit the
pictures you do not like according to your choice. Digital
cameras have changed the technology of photography. Digital
photography begins with capturing images in a digital format.

Important factors of a Digital Camera:

You would find different models of these Digital cameras in the
market of different price ranges and so if buying a the camera
for the first time, there are basically three factors that you
should keep in mind =96 Resolution, Storage capacity and Special
features for taking a picture and storing it.

Digital photographs are made up of hundreds of thousands or
millions of tiny squares called picture elements-or just pixels.
The quality of a digital image, whether printed or displayed on
a screen, depends in part on the number of pixels used to create
the image called as Resolution. More pixels add detail and
sharpen edges. The greater number of pixels or dots per inch,
the higher the resolution of the finished photograph will be.
Digital cameras generally range from 2.0 megapixels to 8 and
even above. Consumers today are looking for higher resolution as
they want more detail and color accuracy in their images. Older
digital technology used under 2.0 megapixels.

Storage space in your Digital Camera:

Here in Digital cameras, the images are stored on internal
disks in the camera. As most mid-priced digital cameras do not
contain very much storage space hence this would require you to
download your pictures to your computer once the space is full
..But then of course more memory can be added to the interior of
the camera, just like in a computer. A less expensive method is
to add memory by using a small card that pops into the camera.
These disks can be purchased with capacities between 64MB all
the way up to 2 gigabytes. Larger disks can hold hundreds of
pictures at their highest quality.

Once you store the image in your computer your printer can use
these tiny pixels and give you your printed pictures. When you
enlarge these digital images, the pixels will begin to show-an
effect called pixelization. This is not unlike traditional
silver-based prints where grain begins to show when prints are
enlarged past a certain point. The more pixels there are in an
image, the more it can be enlarged before pixelization occurs.
The size of a photograph is specified in one of two ways-by its
dimensions in pixels or by the total number of pixels it
contains. For example, the same image can be said to have 1800 x
1600 pixels or to contain 2.88-million pixels i.e.1800
multiplied by 1600.

We can say that a digital camera is better quality than a film
camera in some respects! Probably if you check the resolution, a
35mm film-based camera, it may crush any digital camera if you
see the number of good pixels. But when it comes to color
balancing under mixed lighting a digital camera has a better
advantage than a film camera and even when you check the scale,
the ability of the camera to capture detail in the brightest
highlights and darkest shadows of a scene is marvelous.

Pet Photography As A Wonderful Past Time

Summary: Pet photographs make for pleasant memories. You can
take photographs of your pet for many reasons, either to capture
great moments or for a portfolio for shows or just for the fun
of it.

If you are an animal lover as well as a keen photographer, pet
photography is just right for you.

Pet photography is quite popular with people and they often try
to capture the humorous moments in the life of their pet. A cat
and a dog cuddled up together make a really unique picture.

If you like to take your pet along with you on a vacation, you
can click photos showing the two of you together. For instance,
on a mountain hike, set the camera on time bound auto click and
get yourself photographed with your pet right at the top of the
mountain.

Those who have purebred animals for pets like to indulge in pet
photography mostly to put together a portfolio to show to judges
at a pet show.

Holiday cards are maybe the most common reason for people to
dabble in pet photography. You may often have received cards
showing families posing with their pets.

Most often people do their own pet photography. However, local
pet stores also provide opportunities for you to get your pet
clicked with Santa or for a more romantic effect, in front of a
fireplace.

A professional photography studio is also a place where you can
get your pet photographed by professionals. This is also helpful
if you need to get them to stay still long enough to be
photographed.

However, if you are too interested in pet photography to let
anyone else do it for you, then you have to ensure that your pet
is accustomed to getting his pictured taken or is trained to sit
still when asked to do so. You can make them stay still by
giving them a toy so that they remain engrossed in it.

Pet photography is a great way to interact with your pet. This
makes this hobby a pleasurable and satisfying experience.

So, if you wish to take great pictures and at the same time
have some fun and frolic, think of pet photography.

The truth about Speeding fines and Speeding Cameras revealed
As we have covered in our e-book “Speeding Fines =96 What You
REALLY Need to Know”, the current road rules system does
not work =96 it is NOT legal and it is NOT effective. The
death toll is NOT going down by any significant amount
similarly, serious injuries are NOT going down and a record
number of motorists are being booked for speeding each year
=96 this PROVES that the current speed detection devices are
NOT a deterrent.

What they are though, is a GREAT revenue raising tool. The
governments earn around $2 million a DAY from speeding fine
revenue but, what are they doing with the money? The money
is NOT going to make our roads safer and WE want to change
that.

So, what IS the answer?

We believe that the answer lies in education and training.
You can take ANY profession that involves an element of
risk and you will see a proportionate amount of training
that must be done BEFORE you can qualify for the position.
A surgeon has to complete 6 =96 8 years of training before
they can pick up a scalpel and operate on someone, even a
hairdresser must complete a minimum course before they can
pick up a pair of scissors just to cut someone’s hair. BUT,
there is NO real level of training required to drive a car.

It has been proven that the most dangerous thing you can do
each day is hop in your car and take to the roads. So,
based on the information detailed above, this would suggest
that you should be trained for in excess of 8 years before
you can do that.

Now, that is obviously not practical =96 but CLEARLY neither
is the minimum standard that is being used today. Just as
the government provides public schools to educate us and
public hospitals to look after us, we FIRMLY believe that,
with all the money they have collected so far from speeding
fines, they should provide free driving training for
EVERYONE before they even receive a driver’s licence.

Learning how to reverse park from your Mum and Dad or
having 2 - 3 lessons from a private instructor =96 that many
people can’t afford to pay for =96 simply doesn’t cut it.
Would you allow yourself to be operated on by someone who
learnt surgery from his dad but had no formal
qualification? Of course not!

We need to have a detailed, formal driver training program
in place that every single person must complete BEFORE they
are given a licence to drive a car, bike, truck etc. on our
roads. One of the fundamental parts of this driver training
would be to allow young drivers to attempt to exploit their
limits and those of their vehicles in a controlled
environment. Most people are NOT idiots (despite the fact
that the government still chooses to treat us as such) and
if they can see for themselves that they can’t REALLY do
what they thought they could in a car in a controlled
environment, they will be FAR less likely to try it out on
a public road.

But THEN, if they were not only given the opportunity, but
ENCOURAGED to continue improving their skills =96 again, by
way of proper driver education undertaken in controlled
environments =96 we would find the base level of competence
on the road would improve DRAMATICALLY and then the road
toll really would DECREASE.

Most of you would agree that people perform better when
they are given incentives. Sales people tend to get better
results when offered a performance based bonus, employees
will work harder if they have an employee of the month type
award to strive for and clients will be more loyal when
offered a VIP customer status. Most of us agree that this
makes logical sense yet the government does NOT do this =96
all they ever do is punish us for what they BELIEVE is bad
behaviour.

Think about this for a moment. Have you ever watched a
child take his or her first steps? Eventually they fall
over but the parent doesn’t yell out “You idiot, you fell
over. You’ll never be able to walk.” In fact, we would be
HORRIFIED if they did. No, instead, they say “Yeah, that’s
it. Keep going. Try again, etc.” They offer words of
encouragement for doing the right thing. The reality is
that the best training is rewards based training, NOT fear
based.

So, what if the government introduced rewards for better
drivers? What if you received a discount on your
registration if you haven’t been involved in an accident =96
not you haven’t been speeding, but you haven’t been
involved in an accident =96 because after all, that is what
we are REALLY trying to stop isn’t it, accidents.

What if the government rewarded you with the ability to
drive that little bit faster than everyone else (on open
roads) if you had completed certain courses and could PROVE
that you were a focussed, competent driver? Do you think
some of these strategies might work? They would HAVE to be
more effective than the current ones =96 which clearly DON’T
work!

Now, we’re not talking about letting people run around at
high speed in the back streets but if you can prove you
have a high performance car and you have A) the interest
and B) taken the initiative to improve your driving skills,
should you not be rewarded for that? If you start your own
business or invest money should you not have a right to be
rewarded for that, over others who just do a 9 =96 5 job?

We have very detailed ideas about what needs to be done but
the governments will not even be willing to listen to us
until they NEED to. They will only NEED to when they start
losing some of those hundreds of millions of dollars in
speeding fine revenue. Once you have all played your part,
taken a stand for your rights and started to object to
these fines, then the government will HAVE to stop and take
notice.

Then we will be speaking to them about implementing our
ideas which will certainly work better than the current
systems in place. Should any of you wish to discuss these
ideas in further detail, pleas e-mail us with your
concerns, questions or suggestions. In fact, once we see
that we are making an impact by people around the country
objecting to their fines, once we see front page headlines
that the government is now LOSING hundreds of millions of
dollars in speeding fine revenue rather than earning
ANOTHER hundred million form illegal speed cameras, we will
actually be looking at running public seminars to further
educate people on the flaws with the current system and our
specific strategies on how to implement a fairer system
that works for everyone.

Capturing Special Moments With A Digital Camera

==================
There are millions of people around the world who share a keen
interest in photography. The charm of capturing a moment in a
camera is truly amazing. Probably, this is one of the strongest
reasons why a growing number of people are joining the cult of
professional photographic pursuit. Traditionally, taking
photographs, film processing and developing them in the dark
room was a painfully long process. But as digital technology
evolved, it enabled camera manufacturing companies to come up
with high-end digital cameras.

Digital cameras are an ideal gadget for taking pictures without
having to worry about running out of snaps of roll which is the
case with the traditional film cameras. This apart, there is no
need of having to wait till the entire roll of film gets used
just to find the blown-up pictures in the dark room. Digital
cameras allow you to take any number of photographs and see
each one of them right after you take them. Also you can
connect your camera to the USB port of you Personal Computer
and store your snaps there in a folder. What is more is that
you can customize each photograph, thru software, just the way
like it. In case, you want to take a hard-copy of the pictures,
you can always use the printer to get your favorite photograph
printed out.

Buying a digital camera is a matter of serious deliberation.
Since different brands of companies are offering cameras with
special features, you have be aware of the standard features of
the digital cameras in order to be able to make the right
purchase. The following are some of the must-know tips that you
should be familiar with before you swipe you credit card in a
digital camera kiosk of a shopping mall or punch in the CVV
number in the box while shopping online for a captivating
camera.

Price Range:

The price of digital photographic cameras can usually range
anything from US$100 to $1000. If you are buying a digital
compact camera for the first time, then don`t go for an
expensive one. It is quite easy to get tempted into spending a
lot of money to buy a digital SLR camera offering features that
are just of no use to you. Get to know your needs and settle for
a prudent purchase. Ensure that the digital camera you pick
should be light-weighted and easy-to-use. Later on, after you
learn the basics of digital camera photograph, you may opt for
an high-end edition.

Features:

The standard features of digital cameras of all make are almost
similar except for some special features introduced by some
renowned brands in the market. Features such as zoom, automatic
functions, special effects, black & white images and video
recording facilities are usually offered by most brands.
However, as a prudent buyer you have be careful of the claims
some manufactures might be making. For instance, the feature of
digital zoom magnifications may not actually live up to your
expectation level if you are hoping to get the optimal clarity
especially if you are aiming at say 8×10 or larger size photos.
Do not be tempted by the flashy promotional gimmickry of the
brands. Consider the features keeping your pre-established
price range in mind.

Lens:

All digital cameras provide two types of zoom features: optical
and digital. While the optical zoom feature is based on the lens
magnification and gives you images with a sharp and
crystal-clear clarity, digital zoom relies on the magnification
of the digital image which results in less sharp and fuzzy
images. Make sure that the digital camera you buy should at
least have the optical zoom features. However, as mentioned
earlier, you have to be careful of the digital zoom
magnification claim. You can look for digital cameras having
lens auto focus and image stabilization features.

Image Resolution:

Image Resolution or Pixel Resolution is one of the most
striking features of digital cameras. For personal and email
purpose digital cameras having 2.0 mega pixels will deliver
clear photos. However, many manufactures are now offering
digital cameras with 8.0 and above mega pixels. You get better
and clearer images with higher mega pixels. High mega pixel
resolution plays a key role in image enlargement. So if size
matters to you, consider this aspect seriously.

Battery Type and Longevity:

If you are likely to use the digital camera for outdoor
activities, it is important to consider how long the built-in
batteries will last. Even if you think of using some extra
rechargeable batteries, just make sure whether the digital
camera you are buying support the same batteries.

LCD Screen:

Every digital camera has the LCD Screen feature. Just make sure
that the screen size should be at least 2 inches or above. It
will give you better and clear images.

Safeguard Trade Secrets With Wireless Spy Cameras

June 28th, 2007 Archived; click post to view.

==================
It’s three in the morning. Nobody in town is awake except for
some hungry bats, a few singing crickets, and a coffee-guzzling
security guard inside a factory that is more fortified and
secure than Fort Knox. Then suddenly, an intruder appears on
the guard’s screen. The trespasser leaps towards the floor of
the airtight vault, from overhead air ducts. On instinct, the
guard reaches over the control panel, and presses the button.
As a blaring sound resonates throughout the entire compound, an
army of specially-trained armed guards quickly secure the
compound. They surround the intruder, cuff him, and then lead
him away.

What had the intruder tried to steal? Top-secret military
documents? The blueprints of state-of-the-art data storage
technology? The answer is none of the above. What the intruder
is after is the secret recipe for Colonel Cluckman’s Famous
Fried Chicken! Thanks to wireless spy cameras, however, the
colonel’s recipe remains a trade secret.

A Secret Only Dirty in the Telling
A trade secret is any instrument, model, blueprint, or
production process that gives a business an edge over the
competition. Only a company’s owner and a chosen few are aware
of them. Regardless of the form of a trade secret, however,
companies must actively prevent them from being leaked. Some do
this with the help of tools such as wireless spy cameras.

What qualifies as a trade secret? Several factors should be
considered. Trade secrets must involve data of significance to
a company, so a CEO’s favorite color or food does not count.
Also, revealing trade secrets to the public is only problematic
in cases involving some sort of violation. Is buying a
competitor’s product and then testing it in a lab to uncover
certain trade secrets legal? Yes. Lastly, a formal contract
between an employer and an employee is not always needed to
protect a trade secret.

Cola Caper
In a recent case of illegal trade secret sharing, two former
workers of a major soda producer were sentenced to a federal
prison and fined close to $50,000. Their crime? They were
caught on tape stealing some of their company’s classified
documents and a new product sample. Later, they tried to sell

Surveillance Cameras Prevent Whining And Dining Experiences

==================
Imagine this scenario. You are sitting in your favorite
sit-down restaurant, celebrating a birthday, promotion, or a
Spelling Bee victory. A few minutes later, a server appears
outside the kitchen, and begins walking towards your table.
Just a few steps from your table, the server suddenly trips.
Splat! The chicken linguini goes flying in the air and lands
right on your shirt.

You try, of course, not to lose your cool. You wipe your shirt
clean, and then ask for a replacement dish. As you reach into
your pocket for your wallet, however, you freeze in
astonishment. At that moment, you realize that the “accident”
was no accident. You were robbed!

Most people would feel uneasy about being filmed at home while
eating their sugar-coated Choco Bombs breakfast cereal. The
same is true about customers in restaurants. Crime happens
everywhere, however, even in restaurants where there is a sea
of potential crime scene witnesses. So, business owners are now
turning to surveillance cameras to keep their dining tables
crime-free.

Taking a Bite out of Sales
Internal theft in U.S. restaurants varies from $3 million to $6
million, based on different studies. One study has even
estimated that the average yearly theft per restaurant worker
is about $500 a year. How is it done? Common practices include
stealing food or drinks from the restaurant. Other times, free
food and drinks are served to friends and family members. A
more complex scheme includes hand keying in a previous
customer’s credit card numbers for a current sale, and then
pocketing the cash. Surveillance cameras can be very useful in
catching in-house thieves. How? By matching faces with the time
fraudulent transactions occurred!

Giving Orders Then Taking Bread
Not all theft in restaurants is internal, however. Surveillance
cameras can also help catch walk-in thieves. Some of them, like
the small-time thieves in “Pulp Fiction,” even sit down as
customers before they grab the cash register’s and customers’
dough. Surveillance cameras outside the restaurant can catch
the make, model, color, and license plate of the getaway
vehicle.

Barring Thieves
Surveillance cameras can be useful not only in restaurants but
in bars as well. In one large American city, a mayor proposed
that bars open until 4:00 AM be required to install
surveillance cameras. The surveillance cameras will then
monitor who enters and exits the building. In a post 9-11
world, many businessmen support such a measure. They argue that
the benefits of surveillance cameras in restaurants and bars, is
certainly worth the cost.

Cameras for Thought
Several pros exist in installing security cameras in or outside
restaurants and bars:

1. Surveillance cameras can result in lower crime rates. To
many criminals, the risk of having their mug captured on film
is enough to deterrent to the wrongdoing they’re planning.
2. Surveillance cameras can increase customers’ confidence.
Customers who are less fearful of being robbed are more likely
to wine and dine in a bar or restaurant.

3. Some cities are offering incentives to bars and restaurants
that install surveillance cameras in their businesses.
Government officials realize that decreasing crime in
businesses will increase the confidence of restaurant and bar
clientele. Thus, the city will further prosper as a safer and
wealthier place.

4. Finally, surveillance cameras in bars and restaurants make
public areas better. Safer businesses result in safer public
places throughout a city.

Crime can happen at any time and in any place. Bars and
restaurants are no exceptions. Why put your clients or your
profits at risk? With surveillance cameras, you keep the flavor
in people’s wining and dining experiences.

The infrared camera might as well be the next James Bond. Not
only is it as suave and versatile, it is also as ingenious. It
has a wide array of uses for different types of applications
and industries.

Here are a few of the different infrared camera applications.

Picture-perfect
Photography is one infrared camera application we see every
day. Infrared cameras help you take the perfect shot because
they show unusual tonality that is so distinctive from that of
regular cameras. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, however.
While some photographers would rhapsodize over the pictures
taken through this particular infrared camera application,
others might run out of the darkroom screaming.

Termite Terminator
Seasoned building inspectors can very well appreciate this type
of infrared camera application. Sick of termites? Infrared
cameras may be used to look for them. With the use of infrared
cameras, inspectors can check for termite presence in the
electrical and plumbing systems of your house.

Driving Duty
The automobile industry benefits from this infrared camera
application. BMW automakers recognize the power of infrared
cameras. They developed the Pathfinder, which is located in the
grill and powered by the car’s battery. This technology can be
used to help drivers see beyond the range of the headlights.

Transformer Checker
Not only do infrared cameras improve car vision, they can also
be used to check on transformers. Infrared camera application
of this type helps utility firms identify transformers that are
on the verge of exploding.

Doctor, Doctor!
Diagnostics is one infrared camera application that has been
seeing much use in clinics and hospitals. Infrared cameras may
be used to check internal organs and minute parts of our body.
They can probe where no one and nothing else could.

Space Cadet
One common infrared camera application lies beyond the stars.
NASA used infrared cameras to learn more about space. In
particular, they use infrared cameras to gather information
about stars.

Everyday Security
Beefing up day-to-day security is yet another common infrared
camera application. With the use of infrared cameras, security
detail can sweep people and areas for dangerous weapons, bugs,
and the like. This type of infrared camera application sees the
most use in airports, borders, dams, and nuclear power plants.

The many infrared camera applications enumerated above are but
a few of the many uses of infrared technology. There is no
doubt that in the years to come, the list will continue to
expand faster than you could say, “infrared!”
