How to choose the right Security Camera for your Video Surveillance System


Surveillance


Aerial surveillance is the gathering of surveillance, usually visual imagery or video, from an airborne vehicle-such as an unmanned aerial vehicle, helicopter, or spy plane. Surveillance can also influence subjective security if surveillance resources are visible or if the consequences of surveillance can be felt. Many civil rights and privacy groups, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and American Civil Liberties Union, have expressed concern that by allowing continual increases in government surveillance of citizens we will end up in a mass surveillance society, with extremely limited, or non-existent political and/or personal freedoms. The most concern of detriment is securing the lives of those who live under total surveillance willingly, educating the public to those under peaceful watch while identifying terrorist and those who use the same surveillance systems and mechanisms in opposition to peace, against civilians, and to disclose lives removed from the laws of the land. Inverse surveillance is the practice of the reversal of surveillance on other individuals or groups.

Security Systems & Surveillance Cameras


CCTV systems are based on strategically-placed video cameras, which capture footage and then broadcast it to either a private network of monitors for real-time viewing, or to a video recorder for later reference. Even though CCTV was originally implemented to improve the development of rockets, over the past six decades, it has become an increasingly important factor in security and surveillance for governments, law enforcement, schools, businesses, and even homeowners. Many cities now mount surveillance cameras above busy roadways to monitor traffic flow, watch for aggressive or reckless driving, and examine the details of crashes and vehicle wrecks. Nowadays, it's not unusual for homeowners to install closed circuit cameras around their homes and property to protect against trespassing, burglaries and vandalism. While the cameras themselves can't do anything to physically prevent crimes from occurring in an around the home, they've become very effective deterrents - a well-monitored home is far less appealing to criminals than one with no security measures in place.

These undercover security cameras bring peace of mind to parents and homeowner who want to be reassured that their children and belongings are safe and being treated appropriately. From trains and buses to subways and taxis, public transit is becoming ever more protected by CCTV, with surveillance cameras being installed not only in vehicles, but in stations and depots as well. Whether the place of business is a restaurant, office, bank or retail store, cameras placed in money-handling areas, back offices, storage rooms and sales floors can not only monitor employee access to these areas, but also help prevent theft, vandalism, and other forms of misconduct. Security cameras not only provide evidence of theft, but also help owners and managers keep tabs on overnight cleaning and maintenance crews, to ensure that all required tasks are being carried out. Schools are experiencing an increased need for security surveillance, especially at the Junior High and High School levels.

Many school systems have taken to using CCTV as a way monitor student flow in hallways, classroom conduct, and potential incidents in cafeterias, gymnasiums, auditoriums and parking lots. Security cameras have become a tool to curb offenses like graffiti, fights, vandalism and drug use on school grounds, as well as protect students by monitoring individuals entering and leaving the campus.

More About Department Of Homeland Security Spying


The DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis manages the intelligence activities of these components, provides analysis, and represents DHS as a member of the federal Intelligence Community. At least one other DHS component, the Federal Protective Service, has spied on peaceful protests and produced and disseminated intelligence reports, despite the fact it has no authorized intelligence mission. Several misguided DHS intelligence programs reveal that DHS is overreaching in its efforts to establish an effective role in the Intelligence Community. Another dubious DHS program that is justly being criticized as an ineffective waste of resources with serious implications for the rights of innocent travelers is the Transportation Security Administration's behavioral assessment program, Screening Passengers by Observation Technique. DHS intelligence analysts have also unfairly targeted non-violent protest groups from all sides of the political spectrum for scrutiny over the last several years with inappropriate and factually flawed intelligence products.

In 2007 DHS intelligence analysts conducted an eight month study of the Nation of Islam, even though they later admitted the organization neither advocated nor engaged in violence. DHS has also been involved in monitoring lawful protests. In 2008 the ACLU of Maryland uncovered a Maryland State Police intelligence operation that targeted 23 non-violent political advocacy organizations - such as anti-death penalty and peace groups - based solely on the exercise of their First Amendment rights. DHS originally denied that it had any information regarding these local investigations, but documents obtained by the ACLU of Maryland later revealed that DHS was involved in collecting and disseminating the e-mails of one of the peace groups subjected to the MSP spying. What is clear is that FPS spying operations targeting peaceful activists serve no legitimate law enforcement, intelligence or homeland security purpose.

In 2007 DHS, in cooperation with the Director of National Intelligence, established the National Applications Office to facilitate domestic law enforcement access to U.S. military spy satellite technology and imagery. The ACLU and key members of Congress strongly objected to the use military satellites to spy on Americans inside the United States and DHS finally shut the program down in 2009.

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices. Parks Associates also found that the majority of homeowners assume security integrators are addressing their cybersecurity concerns. In fact, a Parks Associates survey of U.S. security owners found 63% of professionally monitored subscribers believe the wireless signals from their system are encrypted, even though encryption is currently not the industry-wide standard. While the whitepaper outlines a few ...

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system. Ring Alarm doesn’t support smart lighting controls, door locks, thermostats, garage-door openers, or other common smart home products today, and there’s a very short list of supported third-party products. But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...

The Benefits of a DIY Home Security System

This week’s mailbag addresses the pros and cons of a DIY home security system, how to browse the internet without being tracked, the best way to secure firearms in your home — and more. Let’s get started. I am investigating home security systems since I am not at home constantly. What are some things I should look for in a good home security system? Do you have any recommendations? — Ken R. First, decide whether you want to install a “do-it-yourself” home security system or have a professional company come to your home and install it for you. Before making this decision, check with your local police department and ask if they respond to residential alarms. In most larger cities, they won’t — but the company providing your home security usually has private guards who will respond. If you live in a small town like I do where the police department does respond to intrusion alarms, you might want to go with an alarm company. If you live in a ...
