How to Get the Most From Your Wireless Hidden Camera

dennis — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:45:25 +0000

A wireless hidden camera is just that — it’s wireless. There is no need to run wires through walls or under rugs. A wireless camera consists of a camera with a transmitter and a separate receiver which attaches to your TV or VCR. Being wireless, the transmitter does not have to be connected to the receiver. To make it “hidden,” a wireless camera is built into an existing everyday object that you would usually see in your home or business.

Your wireless hidden camera (also called a “nanny camera”) can be found in a variety of everyday objects — radios, air purifiers, computer speakers, etc. A wireless camera can be tailored to fit into your home. Since it looks natural being plugged in the wall, there is no need to disguise the power cord.

Ease of installation is one of the main reasons why people choose to purchase a wireless hidden camera. You don’t need to be a “camera guru” — your camera can be up and running in as little as 5 minutes. Just connect the power supply of the object containing the camera into a wall outlet and point the camera where you want to view. Then connect the receiver to your TV or VCR and you are set up and ready to go!

Let’s use a clock radio as an example. You have three uses for a clock radio camera — a wireless hidden camera (nanny cam), a working clock, and a functioning radio. The camera and transmitter inside the radio are powered by the clock radio’s power supply.

When the clock radio is plugged in, the camera is always on, even if you turn the radio off. It is almost impossible to detect a hidden wireless camera because it doesn’t attract attention. If it looks like a radio and plays like a radio, and even plugs in like a radio, then it must be a radio, right?

Here are some ways that your wireless hidden camera can give you an added measure of security:

• Use it as a “nanny camera” to keep an eye on your family while they are under the care of a nanny or baby sitter. Now, if your child is injured, you’ll know exactly how it happened!

It’s a difficult decision for any parent to leave their child with a stranger. Do you know how often your nanny or baby sitter yells at your child? She surely won’t tell you, and if your child is too young to tell you, how will you know? We’ve all seen shocking footage from nanny cams on TV which may lead you to question the care your own children are receiving.

It’s a fact — shaken head or fractured neck syndrome in babies actually occurs. Our children are our greatest blessing — nothing is more important than their safety.

Even if your child does not have any cuts or bruises, that does not mean that he or she is not being abused. A quality wireless hidden camera is going to show you what the real story is when you are away.

• Your wireless hidden camera is portable — the object containing it can be moved wherever you want it without suspicion. You won’t be confined to placing it in a permanent position.

You can put your camera into any room you want to view. You can watch your children in the daytime and even place it to watch your front door at night.

You can also move your receiver to any VCR or TV in your home. If you have more than one TV (which most people have today), by moving your receiver hook-up, you can watch from any room in your house!

• Did you know that the arrest rate for burglaries is as low as 15%? The reason for this is because there are very rarely any eyewitnesses to the crime. Placing a wireless hidden camera in your home or office will provide you with the information about who did the crime.

We’ve all seen detective stories on TV where four eyewitnesses all give different descriptions of what they saw. Now you can give an accurate description to the police (if needed) so there will be a greater chance of the thief being caught.

There are so many other uses for a wireless hidden camera. You can:
• keep an eye on any repairmen doing work in your home
• make sure your housekeeper really does her job
• watch your young children playing with their friends and getting along properly
• keep an eye on your puppy during his potty training or furniture-chewing days
• and, businesses can also have clock radios and other objects that can contain a wireless hidden camera. You can monitor activities of your employees, salespeople or anyone you wish that comes into your office. You should, however, check your local laws before you do this.
• And you can probably think of many other ways your wireless hidden camera can help you in your home.

By the way, there’s a neat thing you can do with your wireless hidden camera. If you have a TV that has a “picture-in-picture” feature, place your camera in your child’s room (or any other room) and then, while you are in the living room, you can watch the camera image on the small screen while you watch your favorite TV show at the same time This is wonderful for a new parent and avoids constantly running in to check on the baby. Been there, done that!

So you see, there are many ways to use your wireless hidden camera to achieve peace of mind in your home or office. And the best news is that you don’t have to be a camera buff to install and operate it.

Digital Camera Basics

dennis — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:46:26 +0000

An electronics on-line discussion forum contains a story about an elderly woman who wanted a simple camera to take pictures of her grandchildren. When she received a digital camera for Christmas, she looked puzzled for a moment and then asked, “Where do you put in the film?” This humorous example demonstrates how the revolutionary technology of digital cameras may be mystifying for those who have difficulty grasping the concept of a “filmless” camera! For almost a century, photography enthusiasts sagely discussed such topics as 35mm film, light meters and F-stops; today, digital cameras have made such topics all but obsolete.

Howstuffworks.com contains an article by Gurevich, Karim, and Wilson that greatly simplifies an explanation of how digital cameras work. Very simply, they explain that CDs, mp3’s, and DVDs all share the same technology: they convert traditional analog “wave” data into digital data based upon “bits.” In so doing, this radical shift in technology has changed greatly – and forever – how we do things and what has become possible including digital “filmless” cameras. While film cameras depend upon chemical and mechanical processes, digital cameras contain a computer that records images electronically.

In 1994, Kodak and Apple developed and sold the first digital cameras. Today there are hundreds of models to choose from, depending upon the type of pictures you need, the complexity with which you’re comfortable, and what digital camera you can afford. For everyday use, most people prefer a “point and shoot” camera that isn’t complex, takes good quality pictures that can be loaded onto computers or printed for personal use and to send to friends, and is affordable. According to a number of consumer guides and customer reviews, the top ten digital cameras in the low, mid, and high price ranges are:

1. Nikon D300 (high)

2. Canon EOS 5D (high)

3. Canon EOS 40D (high)

4. HP Photosmart M547 (low, great value)

5. FujiFilm Finepix S700 (mid)

6. GE A730 (mid)

7. Nikon D200 (high)

8. Canon EOS Digital Rebel Xsi (high)

9. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 (mid)

10. Canon EOS 30D (high)

The point should be made that what constitutes a “great” digital camera is usually in the eye of the beholder. One person’s “top ten” list is almost certain to differ from another person’s. For example, a digital camera that is making devoted converts is the Casio Exilim series that sells in the mid-level price range, depending upon your digital camera photography needs. On the other end, Digital Camera.com rates the Pentax Optio E-10 as “the worst digital camera ever.”

With all these differing opinions, what’s the best way to buy the digital camera that’s right for you? If you simply want to take personal pictures, choose a digital camera that has at least three megapixels. This will give you good quality pictures at a very affordable price. Remember that the higher the number of megapixels, the better quality your pictures will be, but the digital camera you choose will be more complex and more expensive. Also consider the size and shape of the camera; is it easy for you to carry in your purse or pocket? Finally, be sure your digital camera has at least 256-512 megabites of space on its memory card so you won’t have to buy additional memory cards. Taking all these factors into consideration will help you enjoy capturing treasured memories for years to come.

Great Digital Camera Prices You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

dennis — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:42:34 +0000

Some great digital camera prices would be low, but the camera would need to have high-resolution images, more than a couple shoot modes and different flash modes. You would also want the camera to be easy to use and comfortable to hold. Finding cheaper digital cameras that have all this in one is not as hard to do as you might think. If your price range for a digital camera would be two hundred and fifty or less, you will have many cameras to choose.

If you are looking for a 12.1 megapixel camera, you could compare the great digital camera prices on the Nikon Coolpix P5100 and the Nikon Coolpix S700. If you need an 8.1 megapixel camera for the same price, you can compare the Canon PowerShot A720, Canon PowerShot SX100 IS, Olympus SP560 UZ and the Sony CyberShot DSC-W150. Once you have a few cameras to compare with the megapixels you desire, you can then start comparing the zoom, internal memory and the viewing screen size.

There are many great digital camera prices, but you do have to compare what the camera offers for features, internal memory, size of memory card and the type of batteries the camera uses. You want to make sure that you are getting the best buy for your money. Even cheaper cameras have what you need in a great digital camera.

The main concern you should have when looking for great digital camera prices is the picture clarity. You want a camera that is easy to use, but you want to take pictures that you can see without any distortion or loss of quality. If you look around and use a checklist for comparing cameras, you should have no problem finding a great camera at a great price with clear and crisp pictures.

Good camera prices, and good digital cameras, don’t always find themselves on the same shelf. There are however deals out there for the savvy consumer, who knows where to look, and when to buy.

What New Digital Camera Should I Buy

dennis — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:45:43 +0000

When buying a new digital Camera, the options can be is not expected. There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say, what is better. But there are two very important things you should keep in mind.

First of all, a home digital cameras or cameras for first-time isn’t designed for business or professional used. Home digital Cameras often do not have enough optical resources or the right business applications. If you have a camera for first-time, you should purchase a second one that is appropriately designed for advanced users. A 2 – 3 MP camera isn’t going to give you acceptable sized prints for hanging on your wall – unless you’ll be satisfied with 4×6. You’ll want at least 6 to 8mp to successfully make large prints and even then you’ll want to use the highest resolution your camera allows.

Secondly, regardless of the type of camera you buy – digicam or DSLR – you’ll still need to spend some time to READ AND STUDY the Owner’s Manual for it. IMO 90% of the problems people have with their cameras is due to Operator Error – they simply do not know how to use the camera. A few hours with the Owner’s Manual will save many many hours of frustration and/or disappointment.

I suggest you visit a professional camera store and seek the advice of a trained salesperson. Then buy your camera from that salesperson. Some camera stores even offer an hour or two of hands-on instruction with your purchase. You also can to get that on-line from at BestBuy or Circuit City or Nstuf or other online shops.

Now here are some tips to get you started.
What gives a camera its picture quality?

The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

Many of the new cameras come with different parameters.

Megapixel resolution for photo-quality. More is better? Not always. Without a doubt, higher-resolution digital cameras from the same manufacture with the same optics will produce sharper, cleaner pictures – most new brand name consumer digital cameras sold now are high-resolution, and most people are not using their full capabilities as is!

Optical zoom.

Optical zoom is nice, but do not be fooled – More and more camera manufacturers are choosing to label their digital cameras with the total (optical + digital) zoom.

Camera Size and weight – these parameters are very important – after all you plan to take your camera somewhere, and you do not want to carry a brick in your pocket.

Finally, if you are not sure about what new digital camera you need for you, this is the time to speak with a consultant. Good luck on your search and I hope you find the camera that is right for you.
