Folks,
ComSurv has launched its new website. If you are looking for security cameras - video surveillance, ip cameras and access control in South Carolina, Florida and North Carolina visit www.comsurv.com
My company ComSurv installed 17 high definition cameras in a mall in Charlotte NC around 6 months ago and now they are featured in the news as holding the key evidence to a criminal case.

My company ComSurv excibited for the first time at the Hotel, Motel and Restuarant Show in Myrtle Beach SC last week and was a blown success. With over 100 solid leads and an incredible crowd wanting our new line of High Definition cameras. Even my competitors wanted my cameras. It was awesome.
ComSurv new brochures are in. Check them out. We will be handing them out at the Hotel Motel and Restaurant Expo next week. You do not want to miss it. We will be displaying our new line of cameras.... more information here: http://bit.ly/7JG5Ed
ComSurv is always looking for ways to help the community. We have pledged to give up 10% of our company earnings for local and international outreach programs. We sponsor Charlotte's "What If Everyone" campaign that encourages people to volunteer and provide programs for people to volunteer and help the community. We also sponsor an orphanage school called Royal School in Uganda, Africa (www.royaluganda.com).
Also, I was excited when a friend of mine, Tony Garay, asked me to help him with a new project with his firm NRG (www.nrgbuilds.com). His firms buys bankrupt malls located in questionable neighborhoods. They buy the mall and up-fit them in order to improve the neighborhood or as they call it.... rehabilitate Neighborhoods and provide venues for entrepreneurship, outreach, work, camps, concerts, plus much more. In September 2009 ComSurv installed the first camera system which was partially donated in order to help achieve the vision of Tony's firm, NRG. The installation was a major success and the safety of the mall was increase due to our system. I am excited to see how ComSurv can help NRG reach their goals for 2010.
Ultimately, I am excited to see how ComSurv is going to help the local community and other organization make an impact on this world.
The devastation that is going on in Haiti is sometimes hard to imagine for us that live in such a nation super power. For us water, lighting, trash pickup, etc... are necessities... for Haitians... those are luxuries. I have lived in various 3rd world countries and have experienced first hand what devastations like these can do.
My heart goes to Haiti and I know most of us are in that same boat. I also know that many of us, due to the economical circumstances of this world, cannot give to this cause but I do encourage you, if you cant give, to push for others to give. Here is a way to give or promote an organization that is giving:
ComSurv will be exhibiting at The Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Supply Show of the South East at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center on January 26 through the 28. We will be revealing our new logo and a new line of cameras. Come support us. We will be at Booth 91.
I am excited about this new year. Not only about the new challenges, new customers, new line of cameras and new adventures. But the fact that we are re-branding CSS, LLC and giving it a new face lift. Our new website will launch in a few months but also wanted to give you a sneak peak on the business cards and our new logo and look.
Lately there has been much debate over the subject of high resolution vs various mega pixel cameras. Some of this debate has to do with the fact that many mega pixel cameras do not give you real time recording. Other say that clogging the network is not worth the quality. I have even heard people taking about how expensive mega pixel is compared to analog. There is truth to much of the arguments but I want to tackle a few arguments:
1) No real time recording: This is known to be true. The higher the definition on the camera, the less amount of frames per second you get. But, is real time really needed. For example, real time DVR are popular not because of the frames per second per se but because the lack of resolution on an analog camera, Let me explain, to get a good shot of a car, individual or what ever happened to be, you needed as many shots of that picture as possible. So if you are able to take a shot of something or someone with a real time DVR, you will be able to capture 30 shots every second of that individual. With a mega pixel camera and lets take the Mobotix 3.0 mega pixel camera, you can get all the detail you need with only one shot. So the need for real time recording is not needed and many customers are more happy to have 5 FPS of a mega pixel camera than 30 FPS of an analog camera.
2) Clogging the network: For most manufacturers of Mega Pixel cameras, this is a known problem when integrating mega pixel camera with an existing network. When you try to transfer between 1 - 5 mega pixels through a network that is running of 512 mb, you bet you are going to clog it specially if you have multiple cameras. Fortunately most networks now days have been upgraded to gigabyte. Even with a gigabyte network, if you have multiple mega pixels camera with a network of about 100 computers... it can clog pretty fast. Many installer just go ahead and install a separate network for the cameras alone and this adds to the cost. But there is the MxPeg technology from Mobotix which allows to use a limited amount of bandwidth when transmitting video through an existing network. They do this by only transmitting the pixels that change from the picture. So there are ways around the clogging issue.
3) High Def is too expensive. This is probably the most used phrase to us who sell mega pixel systems. For some occasion, yes it can be true but for most it is not. Let me explain. One 3.1 Mega Pixel camera, can cover an area that normally 8 analog high resolution cameras would cover. Not only that but it will give you a far more superior picture quality. Also, if you use a camera like the Mobotix Q24, you can cover a convenient store with only one camera in high definition quality for less than $2000 and still be able to capture the whole store in a picture quality 8 times superior than a high resolution camera.Normally , you would have had to use an 8 channel DVR with 8 cameras for such purpose and maybe spend over $2500.
I think Mega Pixel cameras speak for themselves. See below a comparison between a High Resolution camera, a 1.0 Mega Pixel Camera and a 3.1 Mega Pixel camera
