New Improvements On Video Security ' Out Now!
Tired of the slow motion movement and the silence of your surveillance system? Upgrade
your video security system for your home and business now with the latest video security
gadgets. You can rest easy while at work and play.
Go Incognito, Go Wireless
If you are already fed up with those regular surveillance cameras, it is about time to spice
up your electronic spying. Park newer items around the house and nobody would be none
the wiser. Nobody would also suspect that the new clock on the mantelpiece is a camera or
the black ballpoint pen perched innocently on your breast pocket is recording all movement
in quality color.
Video security has gone a notch higher with digital video recording or DVR. The newcomer
is eclipsing the VCR in so many ways. You can now eliminate fast-forwarding through
lengths of tapes and save frames in hard disks for long periods of time without risk to the
quality of the recording. This way, you can easily pull up recordings when needed.
Start with the cameras
When upgrading your video security, start with the cameras. There are different types for
different purposes. To deter pranksters, mount fake security cameras outdoors. The hitch?
You have nothing to show when something really happens.
Covert cameras like the wall clock or rag doll in the kid's playroom are great ideas for
monitoring the nanny's care of the children. It will take a lot of quick thinking on your part
where to place the hidden cameras for maximum recording. You can also get those wireless
security cameras. These are easy to set up and can be moved or transported easily
because these do not have obvious wires. Be sure to get wired surveillance cameras for
permanent sites. This would be best for the baby's room and the play room, depending on
your priority. For the porch and the kitchen, night vision cameras are ideal when lights are
off after you have retired to bed.
These cameras provide the surveillance and protection you need to keep your family and
property safe. The video security setup in your home will allow you to monitor the activities
in the different parts of the house while you are at work. Video security should not be limited
for home surveillance. This should be used in your car and in your office. You can check for
suspicious movements, bombs under the car, and other threats to your life.
Go digital
A DVR will save you a lot of time from searching for particular frames or video footages. It
automatically retrieves data of a particular time and date. You can also record and play
2. previous recordings simultaneously, which can't be done with a CR. A VCR only takes
pictures by a picture per second.
It may cost a bit more to go digital, though. You can upgrade to DVR if you already have
multiplexer and IP-ready paraphernalia. When it comes to your safety, get the best video
security. There is no best time like now.
Hiring a web designer to come up with the custom solution that you need can set you back
a few thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop
simple for mere pennies with a tool like Breezy Websites. See http://breezywebsites.com

New iPod Games
I can't say for sure when I know I was bitten but I have the date on my receipts (11/15/06). I
guess I was late to the iPod party but I've not missed a step since I got involved with 'Buck,'
my iPod.
I've got 3 now, one just for movies, and another for music and one for data and I'm
negotiating with a contact in China for 5 more.
iPod is the brain child of Steven Jobs, Apple guru and all around genius. More than 22
million ipods have been sold to US adults, which amounts to approximately 11% of the
population (according to the non-profit Pew Internet & American Life Project). I became a
fan and user and my addiction continues to grow stronger.
Now I spend my days learning about new applications and my nights surfing for clearance
sales, closeouts, underground sources for discounts on accessories. For example, last
week I found a site that sells what they call an iPod Converter.
This unit allows for unlimited downloads of movies and music and games and software and
provides a lifetime membership in their download club. As a full blown movie nut this little
handful of technology is gobbling up my free time by the hour.
Talk about addiction, I was rummaging through some magazines in the basement of the
library at midnight (don't ask) and found this underground techie magazine. There was a
story about an MP3 converter that took me a few minutes to realize was the iPod converter I
3. heard about last week.
The techie manual indicated this is better than Blockbuster and NetFlicks all rolled into one
very user friendly palm-sized unit. I'll share the link here anyone who is interested can read
all about it.
As I continue to learn about all-things-iPod I've just discovered about iPod hacks. This
reference startled me at first as it is not in my nature to destroy other's enjoyment in any
manner, especially when it comes to something like PCs and iPods.
What I learned is the term hacks when it refers to iPod is another way of saying
accessories, except that the modification most likely will void your iPod's warrantee. In any
case the lists I found were nothing less than fascinating.
For instance, according to howstuffworks.com, the range of accessories includes
downloadable iPod games and programs that convert DVDs to iPod-friendly video files.
There are also programs that convert PDA files your PowerPoint presentations into files that
work with your iPod-compatible.
The howstuffworks website also provided a reference to a list of some current applications:
'iPod hackers are publishing all sorts of programs that alter the way an iPod works -- some
of the software is free, and some of it is for purchase. Some currently available hacks let
you:
' Make an iPod work with Linux machines and run Linux applications.
' Remove volume caps (iPods sold in Europe cap the volume at 100 decibels; uncapped
iPods can reach more than 115 decibels.)
' Turn your iPod into a universal remote.
' Attach an external hard drive to your iPod to increase the storage capacity.
' Change your iPod's font and graphics.
' Watch movies on your iPod in full-screen mode.
' Plug your iPod into any computer (even without iTunes) and listen to music from the hard
drive.
' Transfer photos to iPod without using iTunes.
' Replace iTunes all together as the iPod's main jukebox.
' Use an iPod with a Windows 98 machine.
4. While I am fascinated with the expansion this provides I am too cautious and protective of
Buck to try anything other than factory sealed products from Apple. I can be patient until
they ramp up to the accessory list I peeked at in an underground publication.
The upcoming Apple list is robust and will blow away the hacker's meager offerings.
Meanwhile, I'll stick to my movie and music downloading which keeps me rather busy and
satisfied.
However if you hear any buzz about an auto-pilot for long cross-country drives that's
compatible with a 2006 STS, please pass it on. I might just let Buck give it a try.
