Video Camera Network
- Networks PC / Laptop / Camcorder?
I have a DV Cam, but I can not connect to my very slow and very old laptop. My main PC super firewire have the right hole "to which I connect my DV Cam in Can I use USB to connect my laptop and together, then use my PC processing power to capturing video through FireWire laptop?
If you have an old slow laptop probably has USB 1.0 which is more slower than Firewire or 100baseT networking. I do not know if DV can be transmitted through a FireWire network. You may have to save the video in the first disk (if you have enough space) and then transfer the file. Otherwise web search for "FireWire USB adapter. An example is http://www.usbfirewire.com/uadapters.html (different for NTSC or PAL).

Remember seeing in a movie for the first time James Bond checking out the camera in his pen? Remember how awesome that seemed? Such devices are no longer just the toys of Hollywood or the very rich. A person on minimum wage can afford a video camera that can fit almost anywhere and capable of delivering high quality images.
Security cameras have many uses other than gathering video evidence for the courtroom. You can use them to get proof about who’s dog is making a mess in your front yard. You caught someone sneaking around your property, but couldn’t get a good look at the intruder. The perfect solution to this one is a camera that is camouflaged as a floodlight. It is motion activated and feeds a video signal to an internal video recorder. The intruder is being recorded and doesn’t even know it. The police love it.

Its tough enough these days making a living if you have your own business. Employee theft can be bad enough to close a business down that has taken years to build. A hidden video camera can, in just hours sometimes show where all the losses are coming from. One man I know owns a liquor store. He was losing a substantial amount of inventory. Try as he might he couldn’t nail down who was stealing and how they were doing it. One day, he caught the janitor sneaking bottles out of the back door in a garbage bag. If he had installed a hidden security camera in the exit sign above the door, he would of saved himself much aggravation and many hundred of dollars in losses.
The hidden video cameras mentioned above are called dvr cameras. They are wireless and have their own on board memory which records to something called an sv card. They are motion activated. If animals or little kids might be around, you can program it to avoid movement in the lower quarter of the field of view. When you think you’ve got your prey imaged, you take the camera to your computer and download the memory.
What you’ve seen here is just the tip of the iceberg of what you can do with hidden video cameras.
Remember, these security cameras don’t need to be wired to a network or even be in a position to allow a wireless signal to get through. Install it anywhere and suck the information off of it later to your computer.
The imagination runs wild at the prospects of where to hide them, doesn’t it? How about in wall clocks, alarm clocks, exit signs, light fixtures, coffee makers, water coolers or candy bar displays?
Warning! These hidden video cameras will not prevent a crime, just record one happening. To stop crime, use cameras that are highly visible. That’s the subject for another article.
