Staying unplugged LONGER by Construction Camera from Brinno

Jobsite documentation

One of the biggest myths about construction jobsite camera is the 24/7 real time monitoring IP camera is enough. The real time video is quite a good fit for something emergency or urgent while the FILE SIZE of these 24/7 real time monitoring camera is something you should pay attention to.

It is easy to receive a 200MB per day from a normal video file( 1080p). It’s just one camera. Think about how many cameras you possess at the jobsite. It is getting less expensive since emerging cloud storage services,  still a big expense in 12 month( 18 months for most of the construction project), though.

Fat video files are obsolete since

1. Too big to store
2. Too slow to search or locate the clips you need
3. Too clumsy to handle so let it be

Tons of your video files_ simply too hard to deal with

At the end of day, The jobsite documentation is just too hard to be true.

Apple vs Google in stadium “Smart Home” 1st round

Google’s plan_Starting with the Thermostat( Nest) and cutting your electric bill is the most demanding request.

Apple’s_You only need ONE App_ HomeKit

The significant other_Wink

The Trailbraizer_Home depot

 

It’s fair to say that people do not really care about the energy bills of these two Bulbs (they are LED, aren’t they?). What matters are these things:

 

(1) The simplest way to secure your home-> Home security: Use remote control house lights, they are very cost effective compared to Security Cameras setups.

Using the included Wink HUB, these two GE Link light bulbs connect to the Wink app on your mobile device, so you can control them from anywhere. Remotely operated individual lights or groups, sync them with other smart products,  dim or highlight for the perfect setting, and automate lighting to fit your schedule. They use 80% less power than traditional bulbs, making them energy efficient.

 

(2) The Wink is likely the very 1st gadget in your smart home: And it’s only $49.99 now at Home Depot.

Checking on the apps while you are away is a great start for the entire Smart Home. It probably won’t, on the other hand, include your refrigerator and it won’t include everything( fitness, health, home security, home appliances) in one app.

 

 

Smart Refrigerator is not now among all Smart Home initiatives

THE SMART HOME IS BEING BUILT UP PIECE BY PIECE

Most people believe Home security is among a priority when a home is purchased. The surveys show security is by far the top reason why people want a Smart Home (energy saving is the 2nd) and they want immediatly after the other.

 

Home Security is the highest priority in Smart Home

In the words of The Carpenters ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’…

“And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow,
And yes, We’ve just begun.”

 

This is where we start again in Front door security

After spending years looking into a tiny peephole trying to identify who or what was outside the door, I finally found some of the most sophisticated and useful peepholes in the market today. Now I realize that the first and best barrier to avoid a home invasion is to have a good quality peephole.

This is not just my own imagination, It’s the human nature even the kids

 

Not just the children, The most powerful man in the world also cannot refuse to peep.

 

The Digital Peephole viewer gives you a larger LCD behind the door

The Peephole viewer solves the various heights of every members of the whole family. Please see the Peephole viewer user comments on Amazon.com

“I’m almost 6 foot and my wife is just over 5 foot. My daughter is my height and my son is taller at 6′ 2”. So positioning a peephole for all to use can be challenging. Even at “recommend height” a standard peephole is too high up for my wife and much of her family.

This device solves this problem amazingly well!

Pros:
Great image!
Fantastic Zoom!
Easy for all heights to see!

Cons:
OK, there really are none, at least for us.
But an improvement might be if this peephole viewer could take snapshots to an SD card. After all the zoom is strong enough to clearly read the license plate numbers from my neighbors across the street. Taking snapshots might be a nice security enhancement to a device like this.” by Steven Hubbard

The new generation Peephole viewer is Peephole camera with motion activation.

Peephole MAC ( Peephole Motion activated camera) is featuring

(1)Hidden surveillance camera: It’s just like an ordinay peephole outside.
(2)All in one with Motion sensor: Simplifying the installtion complexity and highly reliable in operation

(3)Fast playback of whole day acrivity: one button Fast playback who was outside your front door

If you are surveying the security camera on your front door, You might find this useful.

Home security 101 in the age of Internet of Things

As posted in this ” Home security 101_fake cameas & stickers? ” , Many people are keen to realize the products mentioned.

Policy of Deterrence is the guideline for the home security setup and most of the time it works at the minimum cost of installation, operation and maintenance.

The recommended products are:

(1) alarms system stickers

(2) Motion sensor light ( LED is more power saving and more durable than traditional halogen garage light

traditional halogen motion sensor light

Halogen light is a perfect light source in freezing temperature ( to melt the snow on the light cover in cold area). The drawback is of course the power consumption ( >250W) and the bulb life.

The LED motion sensor light is on the other hand very power efficient( 3-30W). The above LED one, however, is using many LED bulbs which means you may have the reliability concern.( The light will be off if one of the LED bulbs is out of order )

This LED light is better since adopting only one LED bulb ( chip). The life cycle is much longer if it’s a well designed in heat dissipation which means you have to pick up the well known brand )

The motion sensor light is good both for lighting and warning

(3) “Blinking” fake security camera, Blinking is the key here to make your dummy cameras smarter

Make sure to keep the cable visible since most of the burglars still assume the power plug or video signal cable is necessary.

Home Security system needs to be Internet of Things?

“I hate that term,” said CEO Tony Fadell of the nest at the tech-centric conference in the early of June, 2014.

“The ‘Internet of things’ is a term of for this audience. It’s not a term for consumers. People don’t buy ‘things’…they buy an application or they buy a product for a certain, specific purpose.” said Tony.

Back to our home security topic, The Internet of “Cameras” are the must?

So the discussion should be ” Do you really need to look at your house intruder thru IP cameras, saying “freeze” and wait another 15-30 min for the cops  busting the best guys after dialing 911?” no, the suspects are long away since the Burglars spend an average time of 8 to 12 min in your home.

This simply tells you to visualize the suspect on the spot is not bad but to capture and keep the unsmashed photos of the suspect is significant.

If the ordinary IP cameras or CCTV are easily noticed and vulnerable, Something hidden, stealth or camouflage are supposed to be your target cameras if the “policy of deterrence” fails.

Home security 101_Fake cameras & Stickers?

It’s not uncommon to have received words from our next door neighbor that someone might have tried to open her front door last night (though she also leaves the possibility she left it open). In either case, People live in a neighborhood where theft does occur often enough that it’s a worry (bikes were recently swiped, locks and all, from our neighbor’s front porch). What to do when you’re on a budget and want to compliment a good deadbolt? Fake security cameras might be an option…

Security cameras tend to be noticed and smashed

People tend to notice security cameras, so are the potential burglars even if placed out of the way. Not that long ago, while testing several surveillance cameras, our neighbors and friends immediately noticed the one camera we installed on our second floor window pointing down at our front entry. Even when it was not on, people seemed to act differently just knowing it was there (the funny thing was watching people waving at it when we knew it was off and completely unplugged).

Motion sensor “Lights” is another budget home security gadget

Why not take advantage of that psychological effect ( stickers of the alarm system or dummy cameras) of surveillance and protect yourself with a intentionally noticeable security camera. You can buy not only fake models, but actual replicas from security camera manufacturers well-known.

The “Stickers” are useful in home security

Your expensive IP cams investment are totally useless after the power cut of the intruder

The statistic shows “Power grid cut” or “Alarms by-passing” are the most common ways for ordinary burglars. The worst part is you can simply do nothing about it. Some house owners are also expecting there will be the “last” image coming in their smartphone. The sad truth is there will be no WiFi, no routers after the power cut. Nothing being recorded

Things your IP camera vendors won’t tell you–just smashed before the d day

Power Cut is the A bomb for your high priced security system and the demise of the total defense.

Some may disagree due to these power off UPS— Uninterruptible Power Supply. The intruder is far from cutting my grid. I still have the alternative, back up! see who’s your daddy now?

Well, “Smash” everywhere is the possible actions by burglar, What you might do?

 

 

Hidden surveillance camera is smart idea, The big issue is the wiring of the power supply–too obvious to see

The true WireFree and PostFree security camera if your fake camera fails

The MAC 200 from Brinno is one the feasible hidden surveillance cameras you may select—14 months of battery life and Instant Time lapse video for PostFree and Fast play back.

 

They civilize left, and they civilize right, until nothing is left, and nothing is right. 

Introducing the non civilized Rock camera

Without or With camouflage of the MAC200

Here comes the budget home security 101 : Most of them is about the policy of deterrence (No.1 to No.3)

1. Alarm system stickers
2. Motion sensor lights
3. Fake camera (blinking)
4. Hidden surveillance camera (long lasting battery powered security camera)

The Hidden surveillance camera might be the only security camera that survives under harsh conditions.

Peephole is the best place for your front door security camera

The peephole viewer was initially to prevent you from peeping  of these Reverse peephole viewer

What is Peephole Viewer (Digital Door Viewer) from Brinno?

The closest thing your house or apartment might have along these lines is a peephole in the front door. Peepholes, in one form or another, have been around for centuries, but are they the best way to inexpensively monitor and secure your main entrance?

The battery-powered device ( AA batteries) is actually a door-mounted security camera that requires drilling a hole no larger than for the average peep hole. The hole for an existing peephole will likely suffice.

The monitoring unit itself is about the size of a cell phone and easily installed. The components consist of a digital camera  and a 3″ LCD screen that not only compensates for fisheye distortion but has a brightness enhancer or zoom option so you can see outside at night. 

Simply press a button and the screen comes on. Press again to magnify the image(zoom option). The screen stays lit long enough to identify the subject . The duration can be extended, and you can even save the image of a suspicious person to an onboard microSD card, in case you want to share it with the police. Add-on modules can wirelessly extend the unit’s picture-taking to occasions when someone knocks or even approaches your front door.

When the going gets tough, The tough gets going. Peephole, Century structure shock proof

Without those fragile cables & connectors Traditional Peephole is much stronger than Door Cam

Non -Traditional peephole camera is much less reliable

 

Now it’s easy to avoid unwanted solicitors without alerting them you’re at home. Designed to fit over your peephole, the Brinno PeepHole Viewer uses an LCD panel to display who is at your door.

 It enhances low-light images and compensates for fish-eye distortion so you can see clearly. Convenient for any height, a simple push of a button let’s you know who has come knocking.

Why traditional Peephole matters for Front door security camera?

 

UNC Charlotte researcher Joseph Kuhns from the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology did a famous survey

Some Findings included:

• When selecting a target, most burglars said they considered the close proximity of other people – including traffic, people in the house or business, and police officers; the lack of escape routes; and signs of increased security – including alarm signs, alarms, dogs inside, and outdoor cameras or other surveillance equipment.
• Approximately 83 percent said they would try to determine if an alarm was present before attempting a burglary, and 60 percent said they would seek an alternative target if there was an alarm on-site. This was particularly true among the subset of burglars who were more likely to spend time deliberately and carefully planning a burglary.
• Among those who discovered the presence of an alarm while attempting a burglary, half reported they would discontinue the attempt, while another 31 percent said they would sometimes retreat. Only 13 percent said they would always continue with the burglary attempt.

 

So the thing is — fake security camera seems to be your home securit 101?

Hold on, don’t miss those 13 percent who will go on the burglary even your fake camera was spotted.  It won’t be too hard to conclude that those 13 percent who are either rather courageous and  are most likely destroying or smashing any security cameras or alarms Or they are kinda Tech Savvy who knows how to disable your entire home security system or probably the electricity expert who just know how to “power off”–end of the story.

It seems your high $$ security systems may end up

(1) smashed or destroyed by “courageous ” burglars   OR

(2)disarmed or power off by “tech savvy” type intruders

This is why the HIDDEN front door security camera with Long battery life is crucial like this Brinno Peephole camera with All in one embedded Motion detection.

Why Brinno Peephole Motion Activated Camera survives?

(1) it is virtually impossible to tell there is a camera behind such ordinary peephole. No way to identify, let along the smashing

(2) No power plug, the camera goes on( 6 Months of battery life) even grid power cut and catches the burglar photo eventually

The perfect example is those B2 Stealth bomers or F22—Once the enemy cannot detect and identify, You are the king of the sky.
