For a windows OS, I am looking for an editing software that supports all sorts of formats while offering many cool video effects. For example, I saw a kinda night vision kinda effect and then high tech letter written around it which was cool… etc… i just need cool effects for my vids.

So I got these cameras all over our office. They are so cool. I can see anything real-time and recorded up to 120 days after! Look at this idiot I caught on tape! Wait….uh… that’s me…

Don’t look now! Someone’s staring at you from that far wall behind the artificial potted plants in this busy hotel lobby. But there’s no need for that furtive glance like you have some lint on your shoulder. There’s no need for those tiny furtive steps either. No one’s stalking you. It’s just the hotel’s CCTV surveillance system. The hotel has recently been caught up in the wave of video surveillance. That someone staring at you from across the room is just the camera from the newly installed CCTV surveillance systems. In hotels and in places where there is high human traffic, state of the art CCTV surveillance systems have been mounted for purposes of safety and as crime deterrents.

That Constant Fear

The world, it seems, is gripped by fear of terrorist attacks. In fact, after 9/11, it seems to be a Herculean effort to make life go on – do business, travel, interact with others in densely populated places. After all, if there’s anything 9/11 has shown us, it is that a bomb could go off in a sidewalk while you are having an al fresco lunch with a colleague, or blow up the trans-continental plane you are in while it’s in in the air, cruising at 125,000 feet.

The security guys you see milling about do not reassurance you. You have always felt that security guys patrolling public places have a very limited capacity for preventing crime. They only act when something happens in their line of sight. By then, however, you’d be beyond help.

You’re Safe Now

Installed in a strategic spot and equipped with cutting edge technology in surveillance cameras, CCTV surveillance systems can record everything that goes on in its line of focus. These recordings can later be retrieved and analyzed to recreate scenes.

Software developers now see the potential of CCTV surveillance systems in preventing a repeat of large-scale terrorism after the 9/11 attack at the World Trade Center. These developers are working hard to develop programs for surveillance systems, among them an important feature known as face recognition.

With face recognition installed in CCTV surveillance systems, it is now easy to recognize certain key features in the face of an individual. This face will be compared to a host of faces from a database of mug shots and photographs. A person flagged as dangerous can then be prevented from gaining access to buildings or public transportations, thus thwarting any planned attack or escape.

Big Investment That Pays Off

CCTV surveillance systems today now boast of functionalities not seen in the video surveillance systems of the past. This time, CCTV surveillance systems have

1. motion detection. This means that the surveillance system only records footage when movement triggers the surveillance system.

2. resolution as clear as day. Grainy footage is not a problem anymore with some video surveillance cameras featuring 1600 x 1200 dpi, or even more, resolution.

3. night and infrared vision. Even with low or minimal lighting, these new surveillance systems can record images with infrared technology.

Government administrators are seeing the positive side of surveillance systems. In fact, after 9/11, federal budget is flowing in for these new security measures. There are states which require the installation of surveillance systems in business establishments before these businesses can operate.

So, there is really no need to be afraid. CCTV surveillance systems, those new security guys, have your back. They are always watching.

Knowing what goes on around your house while you are not home is sometimes necessary to keep people honest. If you have noticed some unfriendly looking characters hanging around or by your house it might be time to invest in something like a wireless outdoor security camera.

The future is certainly leaning on wireless signals and an outdoor wireless security camera is certainly no different. The need to see surveillance cameras become wireless have been long overdue and the fact that your setup does not have to be so final any more is truly a huge step in the right direction for home security.

This can be a key feature because if you currently have a system in place that is setup to meet the needs of your present furniture or decorative layout you will be able change everything without missing a beat. When you change your arrangement in any way you are sometimes left with different home security signs that will need you to rearrange your surveillance placement.

Once you see what the issues are that are going on around your residence these home security signs will be clear as day. Once you know where the problems are taking place you can focus on points of entry, windows, window wells, or where ever you determine the most prominent place of risk would be.

With the capacity of an outdoor wireless security camera you will be able to use motion detection, night vision, face recognition, and even in some cases speech recognition. This is not to say they are not available to any type of camera but with the use of the wireless signal you are constantly connected to the Internet and can always download programs for free with whatever you would like.

As your home security signs change you can download different programs that will help you keep your camera working at its fullest potential. This is what makes the wireless world so desirable. People who don’t understand it just know they want it and it will soon replace hard wire connections in our homes eventually.

People have even started to make desktop computers wireless. This is how much we love the idea of hooking up to things with no wire. Even when we don’t need to we want to. Camera equipment and software is headed in a great direction as we are at the dawn of the digital age.

An outdoor wireless security camera is ideal for a homeowner or small business for this reason. Most companies that use CCTV or some other form of surveillance are getting these cameras in place and they are not going to move until the company goes out of business or relocates. Your home is the same way with a hard wire connection and it is one reason we see no wire in such high demand.

~Moment of Weakness~ asked:


From experience..do you know which is good.. for under $400

thanks
I’m thinking of getting some to give as a gift.

As a minimum legal requirement to ensure safe driving, drivers should display visual acuity of 20/40 with or without corrective lenses. Restrictions generally apply to those with acuity between 20/41 and 20/70, limiting them to driving in daylight hours only.

A 120 degree wide field of view is the minimum legal requirement for peripheral vision in order to qualify for a license without restrictions (in some states the threshold is higher at 140 degrees). This is with or without corrective lenses.

If you are a wearer of telescopic lenses, a useful driving aid for sufferers of diminished visual acuity whose peripheral vision remains virtually intact, you will be subject to special requirements and additional testing.

Telescopic lens wearers must include the ability to locate stationary and moving objects within the telescopic field, and the ability to adjust successfully to changes in light levels, especially during inclement weather. Excessive contrast and glare sensitivity also compromises safe driving.

As a responsible driver, then, you should be aware of breaking the law if you fail to meet these visual standards every time you switch on your engine. In particular, if you do need to wear corrective lenses to meet the driving visual standard, it is vital you wear them at all times. It is a good idea to keep a spare pair of glasses in the auto so that you are never tempted to drive illegally without them.

Let’s now look more closely at drivers’ eyewaer as this aspect of vision care contributes significantly to safe driving. Here are some important guidelines:

* The current fashion is for narrower, thin-rimmed or rimless glasses. These are ideal for driving as they allow maximum peripheral vision (They are not so good, however, for cutting out the glare of reflected ultraviolet rays from snow and sand).

* At a reasonable cost, anti-reflective coatings can be applied to any lenses helping to reduce glare and enhance nighttime vision.

* Glasses with plastic lenses are safer and lighter. A plastic bridge helps cushion the nose if wearing metal frames.

* Keep a lens cloth in your auto along with your spare pair of glasses. Glasses and contact lenses should be kept scrupulously clean to ensure a clear field of vision.

* Wearers of contact lenses, and sufferers from hay fever, should also keep a spare pair of glasses in the auto. Switching to a pair of glasses when travelling long distances offers some respite for tired, watery eyes.

* If you need to wear prescription glasses to drive, never replace them with non-prescription sunglasses. It is illegal and does not make for safe driving. Instead, buy a pair of prescription sunglasses, or use clip-on lenses over your prescription lenses. A cautionary note: You should make sure that your clip-on lenses are suitable for plastic lenses.

* In adverse weather conditions where visability is poor, such as heavy rain or snow, never wear tinted glasses. This rule is equally applicable to tinted motorbike helmets.

Safe driving also means “vision care” or essential checks for your auto. Don’t restrict your view by putting non-essential stickers on the windows of your vehicle, or hanging objects such as dolls or dice where they might prove a distraction.

Keep your windscreen clean and free from scratches, and your lights adjusted to provide good illumination without causing glare. Protect your eyes from the glare of other vehicles by looking slightly to the left of oncoming traffic at night. Temporary blindness caused by glare can be particularly dangerous.

Safe driving means showing continuing responsibility. As we have seen, restrictions can apply to drivers where vision is impaired from cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes or any other relevant medical conditions which constitute a notifiable disability.

There are two key points to note here. First, if you are involved in an accident and are subsequently found to have an undeclared visual impairment, your insurance cover could be at risk.

Secondly, and more reassuringly, having a notifiable visual impairment does not automatically preclude your being allowed to drive. Limited-period licenses, issued to keep a regular check on your condition, and licenses restricting driving to daytime only, should be viewed as the ultimate safeguard of both vision care and safe driving.

Have you ever felt watched? No, don’t dismiss that feeling as paranoia. Maybe you are being watched. In light of recent tragedies – terrorist attacks, illegal activities, and the onslaught of crime, petty or otherwise, people from both the public and private sector have been obsessively setting up digital video surveillance systems everywhere possible. These days, it’s almost impossible to enter a building or even stand on the sidewalk of a busy street without being under surveillance.

Video Surveillance with Hot Fudge, Please

Digital video surveillance systems are designed as a security measure to apprehend criminals, and maybe even act as a deterrent to crime. There are several digital video surveillance systems available nowadays and choosing the right one can be like a trip to Baskin and Robbins – you simply don’t know which flavor to pick. Digital video surveillance systems also come with hefty price tags, so before you waste time shopping for a system, make sure you can actually afford it.

The most common digital video surveillance system is the lowly webcam. You’re probably thinking that it doesn’t make a very good surveillance system and you’re right. It doesn’t. If you’ve seen the movie American Pie, however, you know it can be done. It does not stop there, though. Digital video surveillance systems can be a complex labyrinth of wires, cameras, and monitors, so whatever you do, don’t attempt to set it up yourself. Contact a reputable company that specializes in digital video surveillance systems. Otherwise, you’ll do no better than Jim and his pie.

A Star with CCTV Systems

You’ve probably heard of CCTV systems, or closed circuit television systems. This is just an example of a digital video surveillance system and is probably the most popular, too. In the days of yore, CCTV systems were grainy and in black and white, and have brought about many a case of mistaken identity. Recent developments, however, have since improved the quality of CCTV systems, and all digital video surveillance systems for that matter. You can now be watched in full color on high-tech LCD monitors while you rob a bank or steal your neighbor’s underpants.

Video and Voyeurism

Virtually unheard of just 15 years ago, night vision security cameras are now the talk of the town. Don’t let the name fool you. This type of digital video surveillance system is no night owl. It works as well in daylight as it does at night. For the voyeur who is looking for material for a reality television show, DVR, or digital video recorder, surveillance is just the thing for your viewing pleasure. With DVR surveillance, you can save your footage and watch it as you please. It’s almost like recording your favorite television show on the VCR. If you or a family member is clumsy, you can minimize wiring-induced accidents by investing on a wireless home security system. You’re not only safe from crime; you get to keep all your limbs.

So before you surreptitiously scratch an itch on your privates or floss your teeth with your hair, you might want to think twice and wait until you’re in the safety of a rest room. Come to think about it, rest rooms might not be safe anymore so you might want to wait before you get to your own house. If you’re lucky, nobody has set up surveillance there yet.

It’s difficult to see in the dark. Unless there’s some light peeking in through the window or from under a door, our vision is compromised. If we wait a little while, our night vision kicks in, allowing us to see somewhat better. It’s not enough that we can read in the dark, but it should be enough to keep us from stumbling into furniture or tripping over the carpet. Sometimes though, our human night vision isn’t enough and we need a little help.

That’s where technology kicks in. Thanks to science we can use night vision to do all sorts of things. With the proper equipment we can hunt, take pictures or even fight wars in the dark. We can also perform surveillance and search and rescue missions.

Here’s how it works: Your night vision product will take existing light and amplify it through an objective lens, which then focuses on an image intensifier. A photocathode located inside the intensifier converts the photon energy into electrons. The electrons in turn strike a phosphor screen creating a viewable image. In reality it looks like you’re watching television on a green screen.

Atmospheric conditions can affect night vision. For instance, if it’s cloudy, foggy, or overcast, night vision can be compromised. The clearer the night, the farther one will be able to see with night vision technology. It should also be noted that night vision shouldn’t be magnified, as light is lost during the magnification process making it more difficult to see.

Night vision devices include: - Cameras - Binoculars - Scopes for firearms - Goggles

If you think that using a night vision device on a frequent basis might be harmful, you couldn’t be more wrong. Night vision products are no more harmful than a television or movie screen. It doesn’t emit radiation or other harmful rays and there’s no reason for it to cause blindness.
