Mobotix D12 cashier camera shot 2 Mega Pixel IP Camera For Banks, Retails Store Apple Compatible
1 comments Posted by José A. Noy at Sunday, November 29, 2009On this video, you will see the resolution and picture quality provided from one of the Mega Pixel cameras we carry. Many of the complaints we have received in the past is of video not giving enough information to prosecute or even identify someone. With our new line of cameras, you will be able to capture enough detail to match a suspect, vehicle, etc... to a scene.
If you manage a bank, retail store, supermarket, etc... this is a solution you want to invest in.

Using IP cameras on existing coaxial / analog wrg59 or rg6 cable
2 comments Posted by José A. Noy at Friday, November 13, 2009MX-2Wire MX 2-Wire Copper Connection
1. Product Description
The Mx2wire will be a complete new category of MX product and allows to develop new market segments and applications.
Main objective is to connect MX cameras or other PoE or NON-PoE devices through a 2- wire copper connection. This is extremely interesting to re-use existing copper wires like antenna coax, telephone or power cables. With this device you can retro-fit older buildings, replace analog installations, extend networking to other rooms and installation sites with very low installation effort. Mx2wire is only working as pair. See system diagram:
Important Notice: MX-2Wire is only working as a set of 2 devices and therefore will be only delivered as set of 2. You can not mix Mx2wire with other Ethernet modulators.
2. Major Product Advantages
Mx2wire transports data and power according to PoE standard
Mx2wire does not require separate power supply
Mx2wire uses existing telephone, power or antenna coax cables and cuts down tremendously the time and effort for installations
Mx2wire converts an existing 2 wire line into a modern multi-media-line - quick, easy and inexpensive.
Mx2wire is a quality product made in Germany: R&D and Production done 100% in Germany
3. Major Product Features USPs (Unique Sales Proposition)
Transmission of Ethernet connectivity and PoE via 2 wire
Easy connection of 10/100 Mbit Ethernet-devices
Replaces cost- and time intensive installation of network cabling
Connection to PC, WLAN DSL-router, IP-camera, IP-telephone, IP-door unit, etc.
Connected devices can be powered up to 7 Watt via PoE
Ideal, when wireless connections are not possible (due to distance to transmitter, wall thickness, etc.)
Data transmission of up to 500m, data rate (depending on distance) up to 15Mbit/s net
Easy installation in standard electrical sockets (surface and in-wall mount) developed, manufactured and patented by MOBOTIX in Germany
Two LEDs indicating connectivity and power status
Power supply of Mx2wire via one single standard-PoE-switch
4. Power and Bandwidth - Distance Performance
Mx2wire always starts as a class 0 device and powers PoE devices up to 7 Watt (Class2). This is the max. power available of PoE devices. However, the final power, arriving at the PoE device is depending on the length, type and quality of the used cable. Due to Physics, especially when the used cable is too long, only data can be transported but not any guaranteed power level according to PoE anymore. Therefore, we have made some measurements with different cable types, in order to give customers guidelines what can be expected under “normal” circumstances. In these cases when the cable is too long, you will read in the table at max. transported PoE power N.A. However, as MX cameras are only requiring 3 Watt, this is sometimes sufficient to power a camera, but has to be tested on case by case.
Benchmark table of data rates and power, based on cable length and type:
5. Product Image
6. Product Documentation
The Mx2wire user manual in English will be available for download on the 7th of September 2009 . Other languages will follow shortly.

IP Surveillance changes the view of CCTV / Charleston SC
0 comments Posted by José A. Noy at Thursday, November 12, 2009This new technology (Which is really not all new) is changing the CCTV industry. It is combining network and servers to video surveillance. For us it is exciting to learn a new trade and be the best at it. Since CSS, LLC wants to be the leader in innovation of the surveillance industry, we hire the best of the best to implement such innovation and technologies. I am excited to have had Ryan be part of our staff since the beginning of this year. Ryan was the head of the IT department for Bosch. Having Ryan be part of our staff has helped us achieve the bridge of CCTV and Networking. Even though our concentration is Video Surveillance, we are also expanding our territory a bit into networking. I have always been a believer that a company that does everything is a company that does everything half as good. We at CSS, LLC only do Video Surveillance and I believe we are the best at it.

Michael Khouser is a home security expert that has alot of insight in home protection and prevention. He has a great article on his blog about Fire safety. You can visit his blog at www.michaelkhouser.com
When a home fire occurs, heat and smoke build and spread quickly and silently, leaving families with as few as three minutes to escape. Fire safety and survival begin with preparation. Yet, according to a recent national survey from the nonprofit Home Safety Council (HSC), only 37 percent of respondents have taken any actions at home to prevent fires.
HSC is partnering with the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA) to educate families that the best way to protect against a home fire is to have three things: working smoke alarms on each level of the home to warn of a fire, even late at night; a fire escape plan that the whole family has practiced; and an installed home fire sprinkler system to control a fire.
Most families know about the importance of smoke alarms and fire drills, but very few are familiar with home fire sprinklers. In fact, the Home Safety Council’s recent survey revealed that only eight percent of adults in major cities across America live in homes protected by fire sprinklers and 41 percent of those surveyed didn’t know that fire sprinklers were a safety option for their homes.
“It’s definitely a concern that so many families are living without home fire sprinklers. They offer the ultimate fire protection and that can save lives,” said Meri-K Appy, Home Safety Council president. “Fire sprinklers are available for homes, but too often people don’t know to ask for them when they build or move. Many people believe the common myths about fire sprinklers, which may prevent them from wanting to install the system.”
To show home fire sprinklers in action, and help dispel common sprinkler myths, HSC and NFSA have developed online animations that simplify and demonstrate how the technology works. The “Living Room” of MySafeHome.org — the Home Safety Council’s free, virtual home safety tour — features animations comparing a fire burning in a home protected by sprinklers with one that is not. The interactive feature illustrates how quickly a fire grows out of control in the room without fire sprinklers, filling it with deadly smoke. In the home with fire sprinklers, the fire remains small and contained.
Home fire sprinkler systems are installed behind the walls like plumbing. Sprinklers are connected to a constant water supply, so they are always ready to extinguish fires. Only the heat of a fire will cause the sprinkler to flow — not smoke.
If a fire starts, the sprinkler closest to it quickly controls the fire, keeping it small until the fire department arrives. That quick response controls heat and deadly smoke. With a fire under control and confined to just the area of the room where it started, families have more time to get outside to safety — and survival.
“Smoke alarms are essential to alert people to a fire, especially when they’re asleep and most vulnerable,” Appy said. “But only sprinklers work automatically to control and even put out a fire when it’s small. They’re the very best protection a family can have against the tragedy of a home fire.”
If you are considering buying a home or moving to a new building, choose one with a fire sprinkler system, if possible. When building a new home or doing a major remodel of an existing home, consider having a home fire sprinkler system installed. Contact your local fire department for help finding a qualified home fire sprinkler installer.
Even with fire sprinklers, every family needs working smoke alarms and a well-rehearsed fire escape plan for full protection. Follow the Home Safety Council’s advice below to make sure your home is safe from fire.
1. Put smoke alarms inside or near every bedroom. Test them monthly to make sure they work.
2. Put new batteries in smoke alarms once a year, sooner if the alarm chirps.
3. Make a fire escape plan for your family. Find two exits out of every room. Pick a meeting place outside. Practice makes perfect — hold a family fire drill at least twice each year.
4. Always stay in the kitchen while cooking.
5. Keep BBQ grills at least ten feet away from other objects, including the home and any shrubs or bushes.
6. Only light candles when an adult is in the room. Do not allow children to keep candles or incense in their rooms.
7. Store matches and lighters in a locked cabinet, out of reach for young children.
8. Learn how and when to use a fire extinguisher.
9. Space heaters need space. Keep them at least three feet away from things that can burn, such as curtains or stacks of newspaper. Always turn off heaters when leaving the room or falling asleep
10. If you use gasoline, store only a small quantity in an approved gasoline container. Store it in an outdoor shed, away from your home. Never bring any amount of gasoline indoors.

Mobotix Q24 IP Camera test drive Charlotte NC
2 comments Posted by José A. Noy at Tuesday, November 03, 2009We have taken this ip camera for a test drive and it is amazing. Now you can cover a wide area with just one camera. It eliminates the need for 8 cameras on an office, convenient store or even a retail store. With its own image correction software, this makes one of the best inventions in the IP industry in my opinion. It is also mac compatible for those of us that love our apple computers. Video of the test run will come up soon. In the meantime, check out these pictures.
