Hi, I'm into photography, but i'm not really into the whole camera world right now. I was wondering which cameras are good to buy right now? I know Nikon or Canon will do it, but which models. I don't plan to spend more than $1000 dollars on this camera because it's my first one, but i want to be satisfied until it actually brakes or something, what do you guys recommend?


Answer
One thing you're gonna wanna keep in mind is that once you move into professional photography with interchangeable lens systems, most of your money should go towards the glass rather than the body. Obviously starting out it's not as big a consideration, one long-range lens should take care of everything and then maybe a good value portrait lens would be a good idea, but once you get your next camera, you'll want to be able to use the lenses from your previous cameras. In short, do research into the companies, see what areas each excels in, and pick a horse.

Yours is a growing demographic of people who want to move up in photography without breaking the bank, and all of the major manufacturers are responding accordingly. The latest from Canon is the EOS Digital Rebel T1i, which has 15.1 megapixels and shoots HD video, a very new feature to the world of DSLRs. Nikon's offering is the D5000, which I'm not as familiar with since I'm a Canon user (a very satisfied one might I add). Each of these should have enough creative control to satisfy your needs without costing too much. And my advice, to further save on costs, is to buy the camera body only, with no kit lens, and find what's called a "walkaround" lens, since it has enough focal range to cover most needs and doesn't require constant changing of lenses. Make sure it's high quality so that when you move on to your next camera you won't have to replace it because of optical defects that would be more pronounced on higher end cameras. And as I mentioned, you also might want a high value low cost portrait lens. The magic bullet of DSLR users is a 50mm f1.8 lens. High speed, low light capabilities, and usually within $100 (I pciked up my Canon for 80).
Best of luck!

What kind of security camera system should I buy to watch my house from a laptop?

I've heard-of a security camera system that I could watch my home from a laptop while at work. What company should I refer to get this setup, and will any laptop work?

Hello

Not all DVRs 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 to military.
