Peephole Camera

admin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:55:41 +0000

Home Spy introduces the Peephole Camera which, as you might have guessed, enables you to take a peep at who’s at your door just like any old peep hole.

The difference? You can take a “peep” from anywhere in your home or office thanks to its”new super wide angle peephole security camera.”

It has a commanding 150-degree field view, with a 0.1 lux. low light ability, and delivers crisp 420 line of resolution. Plus, you can control the exposure via a 1/50 – 1/100,000 second automatic electronic shutter.

Peephole Camera is also designed to be installed easily. Simply drill a 7/8″ hole in your door or wall and the camera will be the one to adjust its thickness. It can go from 1.2″ to 2.5″ thick. The camera lens can adjust to the thickness of your door, going from 37mm to 70mm. Once there, all that can be seen on the outside of your door or wall is a 1.22″ (diameter) black, stainless steel fascia and a polymer lens window.

Its power requirement is 12 volts DC (100 milliamps) and works with a 12VDC power supply.

The Peephole Camera will be a very useful addition to whatever security gadgets and precautions you already got installed in your home or office.

It’s available in various gadget, security system stores and online at www.homespy.com for $148.50.

Avaak Vue Personal Video Network

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 00:15:01 +0000

With the rising incidence of criminal activities, more and more people are availing of home security surveillance systems. However, most of these systems are difficult to install and to set-up, have very complicated features, and a tag price that puts off budget consumers. Now Avaak has unveiled the Vue Personal Video Network, a simple and economical home security system.

One major highlight of the Vue is that it offers multiple cameras and a base station without the annoying wires, which allow you to view feeds online. Each room video monitoring is powered by a lithium CR123 battery, rated at one million pictures or about 10 minutes of video daily for a year before the power expires. You will not hear any sound, but the cameras film in VGA at 10 frames every second with a 640 x 480 resolution.

The Vue Personal Video Network uses FrameMesh, a 2.4GHz network that links to either a base station or an extra camera as far as 50 feet away. The cameras themselves do not stick to the wall. For each camera, you need a magnetic mount that you can either screw or stick to the wall. This makes it a lot easier to move the camera around.

The absence of motion sensor is the major drawback of this home security system. Unfortunately, you are stuck checking stuff out whenever you think that something might be wrong. The Vue Personal Video Network with two cameras is priced at $299 and extra cameras cost $99.
