SLR Camera?

Q. hey im attending a concert next week and it says:

Note
No SLR cameras or recorders, patrons subject to search

i was just wondering if i could get a regular digital camera in, or would that be an SLR camera?

anddd... does ''patrons subject to search'' mean they will do a body search??


Answer
A SLR camera is a Single Lens Reflex camera which is a high quality camera, typically 6+ megapixels, which often have detachable lenses. They're characterized by a prism in the camera body which allows the photographer to see through the lens and preview exactly what the camera will take. The "reflex" is the action of moving the mirror below the prism out of the way so the light can pass through to the film or optical sensor.

My guess is that the promoters are hoping to prevent folks from taking pictures of sufficient quality to be sold but also allow ordinary picture takers to take "snapshots" while at the event. An example of an SLR camera is the Canon Rebel EOS. Such cameras would be hard to hide on one's body.

An example of a non-SLR camera is anything from a $10 disposable film camera to something like the Nikon Coolpix line of cameras. These are smaller. Current digital cameras can be as small or smaller than a pack of playing cards.

Your second question is a legal one I'm not qualified to answer. However, packages being brought in certainly can (and likely will) be searched and security might do more extensive searching if they suspect criminal activity. But that's just a guess on my part.

What are the probable things i must have to make a security system designed with.....?

a camera that takes pictures of the intruder sensored by infrared?


Answer
Lauren if you don't know CCTV products please do not give people advice.

Lauren , Every single one of your posts relating to security cameras advertises spytown which is blatant disregard of posting rules.

Spy-town products are low quality and will not meet the needs of most homeowners, and will definitely not meet the needs for a business such a hotel. not to mention you cant tell the quality of a product from an online store unless you have seen them working or if they have a demo you can connect to.

There cameras are not high resolution and have a low signal to noise ratio resulting in larger file sizes and lower quality images. not to mention they only do CIF resolution for the recorders which will not allow the user to zoom in which if you had read his post he would like to do.

You either work for spytown or you do not know a thing about CCTV most likely both and quite frankly I am sick and tired of people (Lauren ) misleading others for there own benefit.


Hello

Cameras capture images which are then sent to a DVR (digital video recorder) which then based on your setting decides what images to keep example only keep images when there is motion.

Infrared allows a camera to in Black and white in darkness by using IR light that is emitted from LED's .

What do you want your cameras to do?


Not all DVRs and security equipment are created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of DVRs you can find the equivalent of a $10,000 Kia and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels and windshield but that where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts. Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for.

I suggest you buy a PC based DVR has they have more processing power and normally have a much smaller file size and offer more features then Standalone DVR's. I know many people buy a cheap standalone DVR, only to upgrade to a PC based in 6 months especially when they are using it to manage a store remotely. Also PC based allows you to record up to 64 cameras where a standalone will have a limit of 16.

Many people have the misconception that a PC-Based DVR is simply an off-the-shelf PC with video capture (encoder) cards, display (decoder) cards and some generic OEM software. A true DVR requires years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the hardware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must run 24/7, processing millions of images per day. This makes consumer-level hardware inadequate for DVRs which is why Ascendent uses custom-built PCs with performance-level hardware.

My personal favorite DVR is Ascendent X4 series: Ascendentâs Tri-Fusion Hybrid Platform allows for the creation of a true hybrid surveillance system by utilizing the advantages of Analog, Megapixel, and IP technologies for unparalleled customization and expandability. I am working on government projects and use Ascendent cameras and DVR because the offer superior performance and cost less then comparable brands like bosh, Honeywell and pelco.

The X4 also uses the latest H.264/SVC codec offer video substantially better quality,. While its file size sizes is 30% smaller than MPEG-4, 60% smaller than MPEG-2, and exponentially smaller than MJPEG.

File size is crucial to streaming because most DVRâs on the market record at real time performance (30FPS per channel) so on a 4CH is trying to send 120, 8CH 240, and a 16CH 480 images per second which requires way too much bandwidth even for the most extreme internet connections.

The smaller the files size the more images are able to be sent, and the faster they can be processed improving both FPS and speed. File size is the heart of any DVR and goes far beyond just its streaming capabilities, as it also determines the recording storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video. The file size of a DVR impacts the performance of the DVR in just about every aspect from speed to longevity and is often the most important spec of any DVR.

If you are buying a DVR and streaming is a high priority I suggest you ask for a demo and connect to the DVR to make sure it is able to stream fast enough for your needs. Most DVRs say they have remote viewing but it is often too slow and laggy to be of any use especially if it is a standalone. Some good DVR brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent. These brands are what security professionals use, Q-see, Swan and Lorex are only used in residential applications because they are sold by Tiger Direct, Spytown, Newegg, Sams Club, Costco and other retail outlets but are not used by any security professionals also their tech support rarely speaks English as their first language...

These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras for any application from residential t
