Camera Smoke Detector

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

A camera smoke detector is just one of several hidden or disguised cameras that are available through Security Camera King. There are times when covert digital video recording is not only necessary but actually required.  Security Camera King has a large inventory of hidden cameras, wireless hidden cameras, and hidden cameras that contain their own Digital Video Recorder or DVR unit.

Security Camera Computer

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

The security camera computer of a digital video security and surveillance system is basically the “brain” of the system.  This is where the COmpression/DECompression or CODEC utility is normally used to shrink the size of the incredibly large digital video files made by the security camera.  The security camera computer is also the central controller for the entire digital video system, coordinating all the actions of the components in the system.

Another name that is more commonly used instead of security camera computer is Digital Video Recorder or DVR.  Although admittedly, there are some systems where the DVR is only a storage device and does not control the entire system.  Let’s start from the beginning to see just exactly what a security camera computer does.

School Security Camera

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

With student safety being such a concern in schools today, not enough can be said about the importance of using a school security camera in every classroom.  Even though most school systems utilize metal detectors at school entrances and some even require the students to carry only clear backpacks, this is apparently not enough to ensure adequate student-teacher safety and security.  Admittedly there is not one single solution; a digital video school security camera system can supplement these security measures and greatly reduce in-school violence and at a minimum, at least provide documentation of inappropriate behavior.

TV Security Cameras

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

A TV security camera system or a television security camera system is becoming one of the most popular tools for providing ultimate security and surveillance monitoring both for business and residential applications..  These systems are assembled by the user or installer with individual components, each of which may be specialized to suit the needs of the individual application.  This makes replacement and changes easy while maintaining affordable prices.

TV security cameras are also known as CCTV (Closed Circuit TeleVision) security cameras or digital video security cameras.  The name comes from the fact that the TV security cameras they used a few decades ago were really just smaller sized television cameras and TV security cameras can also be thought of as a short way of saying “Closed Circuit Television Security Cameras.”

Baby Security Monitor

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

One way to give yourself peace of mind in regard to your newborn child is to get a baby security monitor.  Of course, a baby security monitor isn’t restricted for use with just babies, but may be used with young children at varying ages and even adults that are sick and are not ambulatory.

There are several types of baby security monitors that are available.  Basically, most baby security monitors are exactly that; a system that monitors, but doesn’t record.  In other words baby monitors usually don’t have Digital Video Recorders or DVRs because the primary function of the system is to show the cameras field of view in real-time (live).
