Looking for certain Surveillance Camera

Hello,
I am looking for a wireless surveillance camera.  The catch is though; I need it to be battery powered.  I have found many wireless products, but they are truly worthless when I have to run a power cable to them. (To me, that's not wireless).  Anyhow, I have ran across a few products from various websites...but do not like the details I find. The three main features I'd need the camera to have is 1. Battery Powered 2. Wireless Access to either the network, or to a server 3. Fully DVR Capabilities.  I understand that micro SD cards are the new thing, this would be great, but I have not found a battery powered camera that has DVR on a camera card, but instead a server.  I assume this is because the DVR features require more power, thus limiting the camera lifetime on a battery to be a significant amount less.  I could get by if the camera sends the video to a DVR server elsewhere. (Preferably with a decent distance too!)
Thanks for any suggestions!

I think that for most of us, storing video at 176Mb/s might be overkill. I didn't take much video with the GH3 I rented because I was busy learning to shoot photographs, however, the 72Mb/s I-Frame recording mode seems clean enough to me. I didn't see any artifacts that didn't belong, and it certainly looked better than the HDV I got out of the Sony HDR-FX1that I have been shooting with since 2004.
However, with the new, relatively inexpensive memory cards, and the low price per Terabyte of hard drives nowadays, why not store at 176Mb/s?
What I really want, and I think we are close, is to have the equivalent of shooting RAW. When I take a photograph on the GH3, the amount of manipulation I can do to adjust the white balance and other features is amazing. Can you imagine how nice it would be to open a video in Premiere Pro and get a window that looks something like this one that I get when opening a RAW photo? All of the data is there, the camera does not get an opinion as to what it should look like (like it does when it shows you the JPG file).

    I have an old PowerPC dual G5 running 10.4.11 and I'm working on some HD projects at the moment, so it certainly can be done on your machine. Upgrading/extending your RAM might be a good idea though; is that possible on your machine?
    If you go HD with the HF-S100, you'll need to be thinking about hard drive space; you'll need a lot of it; it's gonna add up quick. To use content from that camera (which is AVCHD format), you'll be converting it to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) to use in FCE (iMovie will be doing the same thing internally, if you use that), and the file sizes are large. I've got a 12 second clip here on my desktop from an HF100 converted to AIC that's 169MB. So do the math... If you're doing a lot of filming you'll need to have a plan for backing up and archiving...offline storage perhaps.
    But otherwise I think you've got a machine that will be OK, although I wonder if you have enough RAM....

  • Looking for a sports video camera that is compatible with the mac

    Looking for a video camera that can record sports well and is also compatible with the mac. I've been using iMovie to edit videos for a highlight reel of my highschool soccer games that I coach.

    I like Sony HD MiniDV (HDV) Handycam Camcorder - HDRFX1000, but I have also used several older Sony (DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70) and Canon (VIXIA HV20, VIXIA HV30, and VIXIA HV40) tape-based Firewire-equipped camcorders with good results.
    I prefer tape-based Firewire-equipped cameras because of their IEEE 1394 transfer speed, compatibility with iMovie HD, and ability to serve as the source recording directly into iMovie when desired.  If none of these characteristics is important to you, other Mac-compatible camcorders with suitable zoom ranges and lens speeds for the light levels you encounter should also do nicely for recording at your games.
    You do not say which iMovie version you are using, but you can find about known compatible camcorders by searching for the info in a search like this one.

  • I'm running LabVIEW 8.5, so where would I find a list of compatible for certain cameras and user reviews?

    Hello All,
    I'm narrowing down on my selection of cameras for my lab.
    First there are two cameras from Point Gray which are:
    - Grasshopper: Grasshopper
    GRAS-14S3M/C
    - Flea2: Flea 2 FL2-14S3M/C
    And the third camera is from Allied Technology:
    - Prosilica GX1910 GigE Monochrome Camera
    One question is where would I find actual reviews from users who've had these cameras? Instead of referring to the website and looking at datasheets.
    Will these camera run on LABVIEW 8.5/IMAQ-DX?
    Your help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    HumanCondition

    Hi HumanCondition,
    I just wanted to let you know that the latest version of our NI Vision Acquisition Software 2010.08 supports LabVIEW 8.5 development.  Also, if you are looking for currently supported cameras I would check out our Industrial Camera Advisor. This lists all currently supported cameras.  It appears as though we do not currently support the Grasshopper GRAS-14S3M/C or the Prosilica GX1910.  We do support the Flea2 FL2-14S3M/C cameras.  If the camera that you are needing is currently unsupported, you do have the option of generating a cameras file for that camera using our NI Camera File Generator.  This software is free to download on the Overview tab.
    Enjoy!

  • Looking for on advise on a camera apps

    Looking for the best camera app for an iphone4

    Though this is clearly a personal opinion based question left much too broad, I will give you my list of most used camera apps:
    1. Apple's Native Camera App
    2. Instagram
    3. Photovine
    I have tried Camera+ and some other photo apps that simply took up too much of my time. I prefer a much more straighforward method of shooting and sharing through apps #2 and #3.
    Happy shooting!

  • Looking for a retail available camera that is compatible with FMLE

    I am looking for a retail available camera that is compatible with FMLE.  I do not have a computer with HDMI input, and in the past, I have typically ran with a USB connection.  Does anyone know of a camera that is available at a local retail store that would work with FMLE through a USB connection?

    Webcams will work, although they may not give you the flexibility that you're looking for with a more traditional "camera".
    You may be more interested in looking at a converter/digitizer -- something that can take a variety of inputs and pull those into your computer as a a video source that your computer, and FMLE, sees as a "camera". 
    Look at this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/devicematrix.html
    You'll see a variety of webcams, capture cards, cameras, and other devices that are known to work with FMLE.  Most of those solutions, however, require the installation of a card or require that you have Thunderbolt connections or FireWire connections.  Not on that list is the Dazzle line of digitizers.  I know several people who use Dazzles with FMLE -- and while each one seems to have issues that you have to be aware of, they do work (some better than others).  As long as you're aware of the issues, it's not a problem working with these devices -- and they're pretty inexpensive.  The Dazzle Video Creator Platinum seems to have the least amount of problems (the only real problem that I'm aware of is that you have to be sure to disable your preview windows in FMLE if you want to make changes to the source settings -- or it will crash FMLE.  But, once you get your settings in place you can enable the preview windows again and don't have to worry about it).  The great thing about a digitizer is that you can now use any camera that can output to standard composite cables (the yellow, red, and white 'RCA' cables -- or SVideo cable).  So your camera selection possabilities increase greatly.
    If you're looking for a standalone camera that can deliver a live video feed through USB -- good luck.  I'm sure they're out there, but your choices are going to be very limited.
    Personally, I use the Canopus ADVC110 -- which allows me to hook up any camera (or even a playback deck/DVR/DVD player, etc.) that can output composite (RCA) or FireWire or S-Video.  The ADVC110 will not work for you, as you need FireWire to hook up to your computer, but just in case you do have FireWire I can tell you that it is a stellar box with no issues at all.

  • Looking for a GREAT mini DVD Camcorder that is compatible with my MAC! :-)

    Ok. Here it is: I have a Sony DCR-TRV350 Camcorder, which I LOVE. However, the DVI port on the camera is screwed up. I bought a new DVI firewire, alas, to no avail. I cannot get the information from the camera to my Mac. So, making my fun, goofy movies is being inhibited by a fix, that will cost nearly as much as a new camera. I am looking for a new camera, that takes advantage of the firewire port on the Mac. Any suggestions? I would prefer a Sony. I am looking for advice from someone who knows, better then I, (that should be easy) of a good camcorder (miniDVD?) that works well with a Mac. I just want to have fun, bringing in footage to iMovie HD, editing, and posting them to Metacafe. Any and all input is, of course greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!

    "..I wish Apple would tell me "why" a standard MiniDVD camcorder would not be compatible with I-Movie, because I can not think of a single logical reason.."
    iMovie was designed to work with "DV" digital camcorders. These were, and are, camcorders which record video in a particular method onto DV, or miniDV, tape. iMovie wasn't designed to import or edit analogue 8mm or Hi-8 recordings, so it won't. iMovie can't handle an incoming analogue (non-digital) signal. (..But if you put one of those 8mm or Hi-8 analogue tapes in a Digital-8 camcorder such as the Sony DCR-TRV350, mentioned in the very first post, above, you can then import it as a digital signal through the camcorder's FireWire connection..)
    Various other digital recording methods came and went, and Apple have supported some, but not others: there was the short-lived Sony "microMV" tape format which Apple didn't support, although you can handle that with MPEG Streamclip. Then there was HDV, which Apple does support ..but they did that by creating an Apple Intermediate Codec, into which the MPEG-2 video format of HDV tape gets converted during import.
    Then there were various MPEG-2 DVD video formats, and the various movie formats used by solid-state memory-chip camcorders. Now there's AVCHD format, for memory chips, hard drives and DVDs.
    These methods of recording video just keep multiplying - because the camcorder manufacturers want to offer "Look! Ours-does-it-better!" claims. But just because they produce a camcorder which records video, that doesn't mean that Apple (which doesn't make camcorders) has to provide a means to edit all these weird formats which keep springing up. Surely, the camcorder manufacturers should be providing Mac-compatible, or iMovie-compatible, editing methods for their devices, shouldn't they?
    As Thomas mentions, there's a list of some compatible camcorders (see above) ..but that's a list of camcorders which are compatible with the latest iMovie '08 (..which can deal with some DVD camcorders, but not those which record DVDs in AVCHD format..) and AVCHD format can be handled only by Intel-based Macs, anyway.
    So for an MPEG-2-based mini-DVD camcorder and iMovie HD 6, copy the files into your Mac, and then use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to iMovie HD 6 compatibility.
    For iMovie '08, some miniDVD camcorders are compatible (those using MPEG-2 recording). For DVD camcorders using AVCHD recording, you may have to copy the recordings onto your Mac, and then download and use "Voltaic" to convert the recordings into iMovie-editable format.
    "..I can not think of a single logical reason.." ..the reason is that manufacturers just want you to buy these cameras. But they don't give a hoot that you can't edit the material they record, and so it's left to Apple, and other software developers, to try to devise some way to "unravel" the compressed recordings for you, and make them editable.

  • On the hunt for a video camera

    I have summer school starting on the 19th of May and I received some of the packets early. One of them is a video portfolio packet. I want to be 100% ready before school starts. I do not know much about electronics... The video portfolio packet said that I must film what I do in a veterinary clinic. It also said that the video must be on a DVD, or a portable thumb drive, or other approved video storage device and assignments MUST be in Quick Time, MOV, WMV, MPEG, or AVI format. I do not have any idea what they're talking about. I only ever used iMovie and the videos are in m4v format. I do not have a video camera and I plan to shop for one. I have an old 15-inch MacBook Pro laptop with iMovie, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. It's 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and have a memory of 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 5DRAM. Graphics are NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB. Storage of 160 GB. Disc formats that can be written: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL, and DVD+R DL. I suspect that I would need plenty of memory because there will be 20 assignments in one video portfolio AND I will have to do two video portfolios this summer. I didn't receive the other video portfolio packet yet. I suspect that I must make a video portfolio per DVD. Do anyone have a slightest idea of what I would need for a video camera? What kind of DVD do I need to burn videos on? How much memory should I look for in a camera? What do I need to look for? Can I convert m4v videos into these approved formats? I'm looking for an inexpensive but decent quality video camera that films well and can be recognized on my MacBook Pro laptop. I want to be able to edit videos and burn DVDs on my laptop as well. Thanks for your time. Looking forward to hear from you soon!

    Sorry that no one replied to your original query. We're users here - just as you are - and questions sometimes just slip through the cracks when we're not looking.
    Do you mind sharing your solution? It may benefit others down the road.

  • Wireless surveillance camera for 350mHz G4

    I am looking for a wireless surveillance camera to monitor my home using my old G4. Are there any Mac solutions out there? It seems like the good cameras are only PC compatible.

    I don't see why the platform should make a difference if the camera is wireless. If you can use a USB camera, any that support the USB Video Device Class will work without special drivers on a Macintosh. The Logitech QuickCam Pro supports the USB Video Device Class specification.
    Panasonic has a wireless camera with a web server built-in, so you don't need the computer at all to use it. I have the older wired model, which allows you to zoom, pan, and elevate from the web interface. Although a lot of sites list them as "for PC", it's a web based interface and has no Windows-specific features.

  • How to look for a certain value in a database using sql

    Hello everyone. How do you do this in SQL? Or, is there a way to look for a certain value in a database? What I'm trying to do is this:
    I want to look for the exact value "abcdefg" in the database so that oracle will return me details on the following that contains the said value:
    1. the name of the table(s)
    2. the column/field name(s)
    Note: "abcdefg" could exist in different tables with different column names with different data types.
    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
    UPDATE: What about if I just want to check those fields/columns with string data types?

    I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling.  I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working.  I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem. 
    My network consists of 4  base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords.  I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn.  The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up.  Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
    However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address.  When the AEBS is set to  bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding. 
    I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS.  I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS.  In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding.  However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode. 
    I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope.  What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
    I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have.  I've hit the wall with what I know.
    Thanks.

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.
