Video, audio and Internet surveillance equipment truly amazes with its boundless capability. You can maintain security and prevent crime at your work place or home; you can keep an eye on a cheating spouse or your not so professional employee; you can even get access to a very personal information like email passwords and confidential conversations. Videos are recorded to obtain evidence that may be used in court.
The whole recording should be exhibited to show how the parent cares for the child during the entire time, and suspicious episodes should not be shown out of context. Video quality versus recording time becomes the issue here. Using the same camera capturing 480 fps tops out at 240 hours.
Video surveillance is more prevalent in Europe than it is in the United States. Evidence from Europe, however, suggests that the benefits of CCTV are significantly overstated. Video surveillance cameras in the form of closed circuit television were first used in 1942 in Germany. It was first installed by German engineer of Siemens AG at Test Stand VII to monitor any cause of malfunction or problems from V-2 rocket launches. Video solutions are among the latest technologies that government institutions are investing in to protect citizens. The crisis of terrorist attack alarms people about safety in public areas.
Video images are fed into a computer-aided dispatch system and accessed by dispatch personnel in real-time. The mesh nodes are coupled with Firetide access points to allow officers access to video feeds from Wi-Fi-enabled laptops kept inside their vehicles. Video surveillance has become a demanding research topic since the 911 attacks. In most traditional surveillance applications, merely passive functions are provided.
Law enforcement activities can be neatly separated into two paths; reactive and proactive. The bulk of police activity is centered on the reactive duties because they are more pressing to the public. Law enforcement personnel actively monitor most municipally operated systems, although volunteers and private security are also involved in some projects. School-based CCTV surveillance systems employ active, passive, and combined monitoring methods, depending on the financial resources and the number and type of personnel available.
CCTV surveillance cameras help the police authorities to identify the suspects and clearing up a number of cases. They make the police more alert and aware about the unscrupulous activities taking place in the city. CCTV can be found in many places, including airports, casinos, banks, and the streets. There is usually a security room that has individual televisions that are directly connected to a specific security camera. CCTV is not as useful in the fight against crime as was previously thought, according to government research. The cameras, which have been placed at the heart of crime prevention policy, may be more effective as a detection tool than as a deterrent, researchers found.
Consider the case without surveillance, where we have a police force with 11 officers roaming around more or less at random. The nearest officer might be 10 blocks away, or the nearest officer might be just around the corner. Conversely, anyone who has watched all the way through will already be convinced that people such as Bill Brown and Norm Siegal — no matter how clever or eloquent — are just plain wrong. Everything that preceded their segment in the show proves it.
Public video surveillance is not likely to disappear, but it is worthwhile to examine what sorts of limits can be placed on such systems to minimize their invasiveness. Public spaces (or quasi-public spaces like shopping malls) present more complex patterns of use and of possible lighting applications. Transportation areas (e.g., bus stops, subway stations) may require different lighting from typical residential streets.
Camera operators often come to know the faces of local offenders, and the cameras become a way to monitor their movements in a less intrusive manner than deploying plainclothes police officers. For example, officers in one city were able to gather intelligence on the behavior of individuals selling stolen goods.
Camera systems increasingly employ bullet-proof casing, and automated self defense mechanisms which – as with the Liverpool system – ensure that cameras under attack are covered by neighboring cameras. These can be legitimately described as military style systems. Cameras equipped with motion detectors can provide live video or live play back that can be accessed from one computer. In addition, when a large group of people are gathered in one place clergy may want to consider posting security personnel at strategic access points as well as using security monitoring with cameras.
Cameras and gunshot detectors (we have them in Chicago and they seem to be always flashing) are just more ways to avoid the real problems. Cameras also work well for law enforcement sting operations. Police park a “bait” automobile in an area known for high incidents of car theft and car-jacking’s. Cameras may be utilized only in those residential areas experiencing crime occurring on public space.
Cameras also prevent crime. The installation of cameras has deterred many a criminal from targeting homes and businesses. Cameras are on public buses and in train stations, building lobbies, schools and stores. Most feed video to central control rooms, where they are monitored by security staff.
Cameras may record couples intertwined in office stockrooms, elevators or cars; women undressing in department store changing rooms; or husband and wives engaging in domestic squabbles. Such scenes are sold commercially in UK video stores. Cameras don’t prevent crime, they may help in solving the crime after the fact but that is hardly a benefit to the victim(s). Today there is a movement to ban all knives in the UK, the result of almost daily stabbing’s, all happening with a camera ratio of 1 camera per 4 citizens (in London).
Cameras could routinely capture footage of individuals engaging in activities in which most expect anonymity, such as entering an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, a psychiatrists office, or the headquarters of a fringe religious or cultural group.
Camera’s are only “after the fact” effective, and depending on light conditions, and whether or not the offender was smart enough to dress appropriately, not even then. If anything, these cameras identify victims and bystanders more than actual criminals, resulting in bystanders being hailed in as witnesses whether they want to be or not. Cameras are on buses and in train stations, schools, and stores. Most feed video to a central control room, where it is monitored by security staff.
One of the most innovative micro camera setup is the 4 Wireless Color Cams & USB Quad Receiver w/Remote View. It’s Great for “keeping an eye on things” while you are away. 4 tiny color wireless cameras transmit video to 1 USB receiver. Video can then be recorded on your PC via motion activation, scheduled recording, or continuous. Included remote viewing software allows for viewing all 4 cameras simultaneously remotely from any PC. This unique product combines four 2.4GHz receivers with a quad processor all in one unit!
You can view the images from multiple (4 maximum) 2.4GHz cameras on a single TV/PC simultaneously in four way split screen mode. The unit also allows you to jump to full screen mode on any one channel or, alternatively, you can have it switching automatically from camera to camera and into Quad screen at intervals set by you.
The Quad Receiver also has a standard 2.4GHz SMA antenna fitting so you can increase wireless range by adding a higher gain antenna.
As always, wireless ranges can and do vary greatly dependant upon site conditions, obstructions and other wireless equipment running on location. The more wireless signals in any one location, the more chance of some interference or transmission range problems.
