a.p.i. Monitoring Adds Support For IP Communications From Bosch Systems
A long-discussed plan to bring free WiFi to downtown Beaufort could be up and running by the end of February. A “wire-cutting” ceremony is tentatively planned for Feb. 28. Main Street Beaufort, USA, has been working with Hargray Communications and the city of Beaufort on the plan, which would bring wireless Internet service to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Transmission equipment would be set up at the park’s pavilion and at the restrooms near the playground. “I’m ready to pull my big scissors out of my closet and sharpen them up so we cut that wire,” Main Street Beaufort executive director LaNelle Fabian said. “I love when we cross long-term projects off our list.” To use the WiFi on a smartphone, tablet, computer or other device, people will have to pass through a landing page with advertisements, information and links related to Beaufort. The service, which will cost $9,000 for the first year, is being paid for in part by that advertising. There are 17 ad spaces, with costs ranging from $375 to $1,500 for the banner at the top of the page, Fabian said. “I tried to keep the price down and small-business friendly, because our first go-around is going to be to downtown businesses so they can target the people who are downtown,” she said. Main Street seeks $4,500 in accommodations-tax money from the city to pay for the rest. The accommodations tax, often referred to as a “bed tax,” is a levy on overnight lodging […]

Differentiating CCD And CMOS Image Sensors
Source: Alf Chang | Date: 12/25/2013 Related tags: Cmos , CCD , CompoSec A core component of security cameras, CCD and CMOS image sensors have in the last few years parted ways in terms of applications and characteristics, sensitivity, noise reduction and energy consumption. At the same number of pixels, CCD sensors have outperformed CMOS sensors in sensitivity; CCD sensors also take in more light than CMOS sensors of the same size. In real-world applications, however, CMOS sensors deliver the same level of performance as their CCD counterparts in low-light cameras. This makes CMOS sensors the preferred image sensor for HD cameras. What to Look for in a CMOS Sensor In theory, CCD sensors allow a higher resolution than CMOS sensors of the same size. In practice, image sensor suppliers overcome this simply by making larger image sensors since security cameras do not have space constraints. Major image sensor suppliers for the security market like Aptina, Omnivision, Sony and Sharp, use this advantage to continue to enhance the performance of CMOS image sensors. Currently, most HD cameras on the market use 1/1.8”, 1/2.5”, 1/2.7” or 1/2.8” image sensors. By testing IP megapixel cameras on the market, it is possible to find a CMOS sensor that is practical in both price and performance.

Review: Dropcam Video Monitoring Camera
If you want to set up a home monitoring camera but don’t want to run wiring or waste time configuring a system, there’s a product now available to Canadians that makes video surveillance simple. Dropcam is a small, cellphone-sized video monitoring camera that can rest on its stand or be mounted to a wall. It draws power from a USB cable plugged into a wall outlet and transmits video wirelessly to the cloud over a WiFi Internet connection. I tried out Dropcam Pro, while a simpler Dropcam model also exists. Optically, the Pro’s camera captures surprisingly sharp images for something just designed to keep tabs on your home, kids or outdoor scenery. This is largely thanks to the six-element glass lens system (compared to plastic lenses) with a 130-degree field of view to capture 720p HD video. Dropcam also says the image sensor is twice as large as the one found in the company’s previous Dropcam HD camera, which helps in low-light conditions. There are eight infrared LEDs to improve night vision surveillance. Now, here’s how Dropcam is smart. Video is uploaded using what they say is bank-level encryption to the cloud. From any device with a web connection (or the iPhone/Android apps) you can log in to see the live video, and use the camera’s microphone and speaker to have a remote conversation. Dropcam also detects when there’s motion or an unusual sound, sending you a push notification on your iPhone or an email to alert you that […]

Base Provides Foundations For Wavestore VMS Software
[September 05, 2013] (ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire – 05 September 2013 Release date- 03092013 – Wavestore has introduced Base, a competitively priced entry level version of its highly acclaimed video recording and management system (VMS). Base shares many of the features which are common to the Premium and Enterprise versions of Wavestore’s VMS, but is limited to sixteen camera inputs. ‘Wavestore is perhaps best known for its successful involvement in medium to large video surveillance projects, but we have recently seen a sharp increase in interest in our VMS for applications, such as retail and office environments where there is only a requirement for a small number of cameras,’ said Chris Williams, Director of Wavestore. ‘Base is offered at a significantly lower price and whilst it does not include certain features, such as video analytics and our unique 360 degree image de-warping solution, customers have the option at any time to upgrade to our Premium and Enterprise versions.’ As is the case with the Premium and Enterprise versions, Base is ONVIF Profile S conformant and simultaneously records images captured by combinations of analogue, IP, megapixel, HD, HD-SDI and thermal cameras. It is built around an open platform design which enables Wavestore to integrate and work closely with camera manufacturers and other third party technology partners to offer a comprehensive security solution. By taking advantage of an easy to use, customisable graphical user interface (GUI), operators can position and size the display of live or recorded […]
