Security Cameras; Best Cheap solution for uninterrupted monitoring.


Over the last few decades,science has given us many new invention aiding and contributing more to human needs.
We have acquired better control over things that were inaccessible in the past. We have built huge buildings, Banks ,companies where millions of workers come everyday. Therefore there is also a need of monitoring them. Digital Surveillance has also proven to reduce crime rates thus its implementation has given us very positive response.

Privacy and security
Privacy as well as security are the most valued concerns whether it's of a company or an individual. There are various ways to ensure these two. An emerging solution to these vulnerable threat is Security cameras. these are playing a vital role in today's high-tech Surveillance system.

Why choose security cameras
yes! you might ask yourself why should  you choose installing a camera when you have other alternatives available . Let us acknowledge you that hiring a watchman and installing security camera surveillance system are two different things .Cameras are indispensable tools to ensure security with ease of access. 

High -end cameras are now available with auto monitoring /wireless system  .They also offer you hassle free cloud storage where you can store your footage recordings also retrieving to cloud information is very convenient. You can monitor your places by simply logging in to your cloud account globally.
Which Camera suits for my purpose.
choosing the right camera is very important.It depends on your need, and of course budget. Earlier most of these cameras were very costly  but now cheap alternatives are available.

There are 
mainly two types of Camera's  in use.
  • Indoor 
  • Outdoor
Indoor camera's are installed to ensure security inside a building /home /offices. any activity under surveillance is recorded and stored in local /cloud servers as per the arrangement and features, which camera offers while ,

Outdoor cameras are mostly used in 
 public places ,facade of office ,Banks etc. 
they are also installed along the roads resolving traffic issues /congestion.


  • Here we have picked a low price camera with night vision feature that allows video recording in Daylight as well as in dark .It gives Digital TV-OUT signal.that is suitable to be directly viewed on monitors .

                      





  • It has two ports one for Power supply and other for video output.except this it is packed with LDR and IR LED. this features luminance in the dark that features automatic turning on/off of night mode by measuring the light that hits the sensor.


    • It comes with a 12V handy AC to DC Adapter that powers the Camera CPU. Input tag reads 50/60Hz which means it can work with both the AC frequencies.You might have seen variants since it is widely distributed because of its low price and good features. 

    key factors to consider during purchase
    There are certain points to consider before you give loads of money to seller.
    • Video resolution Quality
    • Signal system
    • Night Vision
    • Battery Backup 
    • Recording Range

    Resolution

    This is the most affecting factor. Most cameras record videos in range of 480p to 1080p. Higher resolution gives more detailed result and is better to identify people/faces in recordings.

    signal system

     Cameras record video through analog/digital system. Both are good at their own. If you want higher zooming with good quality video then you should probably consider this factor . Check on label how many times optical /digital zoom your camera can offer.

    Night vision
    it allows user to record or see in the dark. Night vision cameras are equipped with a bunch of infrared Led (light emitting diode). LEDs have wide application in remote sensing and Visible spectrum as well. 
    Below is an illustrating image of a generic camera equipped with night vision feature.


    • This camera is equipped with 24 IR LED to give highly luminous output even in worse conditions.

    Most of the night vision camera have Light Depending Resistance(LDR) in their circuit which enables automatic turning on IR LEDs in dark ,hence reducing power consumption. 

    Angle Viewing
    You must have heard of wide angle viewing in camera features. This means how much angle your camera can view . Suppose your camera is limited to 130 degree that means objects only falling this radius will be recorded. objects beyond this range doesn't come under camera's view.

    Power Consumption

    Above all power consumption can not be avoided. Usually wireless cameras have inbuilt battery to power WiFi antenna/camera CPU.Hence battery backup is a significant factor of course one doesn't want a sudden break in their monitoring system.

    Recording Range 
    This varies by user to user . Though one can prefer higher range camera but you are low in budget you might opt a lower one.

    Concluding the Article we have learned a list of key factors by illustration. We hope you liked our work .If you have query feel free to Ask as we are always listening to our visitors.Thank You!

    A Comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Photography

    Photography is an art of creating images with the help of Camera. It works on the principals of science. When light from an object hits a photo sensitive surface through a narrow hole it creates a visually identical image, which is nothing but a set of 'pieces of photo information' of the subject.It is divided into millions of pixels .A Pixel can be understood as a tiny point in the subject that is clearly visible or distinguished by the Photo lens. T his article will help you understand the basics of photography. It will also teach you how to capture good shots with your Camera or Smartphone. Go through step by step learning and at the end you will have a through understanding of these terms.

    What is Near Field Communication | All about NFC

    C omputer world is full of terminology which is sometimes difficult to understand. Today In this article we will explain Near field communication .Lets jump o the introduction WHAT IS NFC  Near field communication (NFC)  is a short range , high frequency wireless technology that enables wireless connection between two electronic devices within 4cm (1.6inch) NFC was jointly developed by  The tech giants,. Philips and Sony How does it work NFC uses short range wireless communication standard (Ecma-340, ISO/IEC 18092) to communicate. It establishes a peer to peer connection and is easy to set up than bluetooth/WiFi. It operates at 13.56 MHz  on ISO/IEC  18000-3  air interface and at rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 424 kbit/s. Each full NFC device can work in three modes: NFC card emulation NFC reader/writer NFC peer-to -peer NFC card emulation Enables NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones to act like smart cards, allowing us...

    Choosing the right Battery : A detailed article on various batteries and their applications

    Power in terms of science usually referred as the energy for work, everything in this high-tech world requires energy to operate .This energy can be either physical , chemical or mechanical. Digital electronic devices takes electrical energy as input .Say, It is your favourite smartphone , watch or  electric car they all require electrical energy for proper functioning. source: hardwarezone.com.sg This energy can be obtained from batteries , solar panel or Home electric supply. Electrical energy supply can be categorized into AC(alternative Current) and DC(direct current).They have different applications in our daily life. Why is this the matter of talk? Today we are surrounded by electronic gadgets . It could be your laptop ,smartphone or something else . All these products are powered by some kind of electrical energy.
