Small Business Security Cameras - Product Reviews

Small business is the backbone of our country and is the engine that drives our economy. Jobs are created by small business not the government. Starting a small business takes many things including money, know how, time, courage and yes a little luck. I have owned a small business most of my life and have the utmost respect for independent business owners.

It is a well established fact that seventy percent of all business losses are from employee theft and customer theft. Can you imagine what you could do with that money as a small business owner?

The best way to slow those losses down or stop them cold is with security cameras. There are so many to choose from it can be somewhat confusing when deciding on which ones to get. Here's review of some of the best.

1. The wired out or in door IP camera-it connects directly to your computer or DVR and uses an IP address to send video thru a network. Included software can support up to 16 cameras. It is fully networkable so you can watch what the camera sees from any where there is an internet connection.

2. The vandal resistant IR day night Dome Camera-will record color images in night conditions up to 80 feet away with great picture resolution using 550 TV lines.

3. The day/night color bullet camera-that can be wired or wireless and transmits color images. It is fully weatherproof and uses a digital CCD chip that automatically switches from color to black and white in low light conditions.

Of course there are many other security cameras for your small business but these are three of the best.

When you need to keep an eye on what's going at your home, office or business get a Hidden Security Camera.

Best Home Security Cameras - Product Reviews

One out of six homes this year will be the victim of a home burglary. According to police statistics, 60 percent of all home burglaries happen through unsecured doors and windows. And unfortunately police do not keep track of a separate category of property crimes called home invasion. Home invasions are growing just as rapidly as burglaries and seem to be the crime of choice these days.

Before burglars pick a home as a target they go out and "case" a neighborhood. They are looking for the easiest homes to get into. If they see any signs of obstacles for a home they go onto another. Homeowners do make it easy for the bad guys.

What they are looking for is any signage out front warning of security system or a vicious guard dog. They look for one of those signs on a street that says that there's a neighborhood watch. They look for potential hiding places near lower-level doors and windows created by overgrown shrubs. They look for home security cameras.

If they see any of these obstacles hey are most likely go on to someone else. That's exactly what you want isn't it?

Home security cameras used to be expensive but not anymore. The three best ones are:

1. A vandal resistant infrared date night high resolution color dome camera with 540 TV lines of resolution. The 36 infrared LEDs allow for night vision up to 80 feet away. It's completely weatherproof and vandal resistant

2. Next is the day night camera with infrared LEDs that allow up to 60 feet of visibility in total darkness and comes wired or wireless,

3. Then there is a high resolution color camera with wide-angle lens. Built in LEDs allow you to see up to 150 feet away at night. A wide-angle lens can be adjusted on the back panel from 9 to 22 mm. This is only available in wired version.

Those are three of the best security cameras for your home. Get one for your front door and one for your back door. They send a signal to the bad guys to stay away or get caught.

A Product Review on the Fujifilm Finepix AV250 Digital Camera

The Fujifilm Finepix is an entry-level digital camera and at around 22 millimetres wide, is able to slip into most pockets and purses. This is a sixteen megapixel device which comes with all of the usual features used in cameras at this price range, which is at the lower end of the market. These features include:

A 3X Fuginon zoom and digital stabilisation system to compensate for blur caused by hand movement when taking a picture. Because this camera is aimed at the novice there is a totally automatic light sensor which will decide for you whether or not to use flash to get the best exposure.

The Motion panorama mode enables the user to take excellent landscape shots, and in this mode you are allowed to stitch together three photos to create a wide Panoramic effect which is ideal for big landscape shots or large groups of people.

Another excellent feature of this camera is face detection, and automatic red-eye removal. In this mode, the camera makes sure that its settings are automatically set to get the best shots of people, and will optimise the focus to remove those nasty shadows, blurs and red eyes as you are shooting.

One more intuitive feature is the Scene Recognition Auto which will decide before you shoot a scene, what type of exposure you need to get perfect results.

As with most cameras in this price range, there is also a movie function, and movies can be downloaded onto computer and transferred to DVD.

A surprising feature of this camera is that it is powered by AA batteries which is definitely going against the industry norm. The advantage of these batteries is that you can buy them virtually anywhere, but the downside is that you will always need to spend money buying batteries unless you choose to buy some rechargeable ones.

The camera is sold without a memory card and is unusable until you buy one, which again puts the price up. There is no connection for using mains power to preserve the settings, so when the batteries need to be replaced, time, date and other information is lost and has to be re-entered.

It is definitely true that you get what you pay for in the digital world, but the picture quality is not that good in spite of the automatic features to help the photographer; this is rather surprising for a camera that has 16 Megapixels.

Marks out of 10? Well, this is not a bad little starter camera, so a good 6.
