The quickest and easiest way to fall a sleep

Sleeping pills have by far been the most common medical treatment, with nearly 9 million adults having taken prescription sleeping pills in the last 30 days, according to the press release. But this comes with well-established safety risks, including decreased mental alertness the morning after use.

These medications can cause next-day impairment of driving and other activities that require full alertness, leading physicians and patients to seek a drug-free alternative.

Can’t sleep?

The digital health sector(or similar to wearable medical devices) experienced record highs for funding in the last two years, with 2015 reaching $4.5 billion. The cost of insomnia is over $100 billion annually in the United States, which includes costs related to poorer workplace performance, increased healthcare utilization, and increased accident risk. Market size for devices that help diagnose and treat the 40 million Americans suffering from sleep disorders is estimated to reach $125.8 million in 2017.

Insomnia? Keeping your forehead cool !?

The device, called the Cerêve Sleep System, is designed to induce better sleep by keeping the forehead cool, the company says.

The software-controlled bedside device cools and pumps fluid to a forehead pad that is worn throughout the night, the company says.

Sleep Gadgets So Weird They Just Might not Work  

The bottom line is this goggle with the water pipe attached is definitively not cozy. Even worse, Patient might “addict to” that hose and would feel there is something ontop of the pillow which makers the insomnia out of control.

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

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 Peephole is the best place to place your security camera? Cuz…

1. 100 % DIY Installation , no technician or engineers required even for maintenance. saving $$
2. Extremely easy operation for seniors, handicapped.  No learning curve
3. Best camera position ( as the same height of the visitors), No top down angle of view. Easy to Identify the visitor 
4. The most valuable raw data for Face Recognition in any means

 

Most of security cameras are top down angle setup, hard to id the suspect face

Peephole is the best location for setting up the front door security camera

Peephole naturally inherits the Best camera location to grab the front view of the visitor

Right in the Front by Peephole camera

Peephole viewer always gives you the FRONT view, no top angle useless photos

Brinno Peephole viewer is

Thoughts from a belcany on the construction camera_Can’t get any Simpler?

Thoughts from a belcany on the Construction camera

The #1 thinking is “Is it really necessary to use your expensive DSLR at the construction site ?

The purchase cost or rental cost is one thing. What really matters is the DSLR complicated camera setups, settings for time lapse video and it also difficult to ask the job site workers to take over. So you may foot the service company bills monthly or try to train your job site people to operate the DSLR.

Learned about the limited Shutter life of DSLR? It seems that the average statistic shutter life is around 100,000 shots. 100k shots is probably a big number for ordinary photo shots but it can be “toasted” so easily by the time lapse mode. Here is a good example: taking photos every 1 min then 1×60 min x24 hrs=1,440 shots per Day, Your DSLR will just burst in 69.44 days (100,000 divided by 1,440) which is only TWO Months!

My advice is

Try not to use DSLR for Construction camera recording. It’s too expensive to pay the service companies , too hard for the job site workers to use and the DSLR life is Two months only.

Lesson learned: Will you use your F-22 ( unit cost: USD 150M) to fight against the terrorists who carry AK 47?

2nd thinking: Is there any other inexpensive and easy to use solutions for the Construction job site workers?

There are some rugged and Point of View cameras like GoPro or Brinno to be a easier ways for the construction sites. These POVs are all features like

• Rugged with water proof cases
• Wide angel lens (>120 degrees, Field of View)
• Default external DC power input ( ensure long term shooting)
• Time lapse video Photography ( you can set up the camera by different Time intervals, say taking one photo every 1 minute )

The Brinno construction camera also featuring

• Rugged with water proof case ( It’s not water proof while DC-IN if using GoPro)

• “Timer” and ” Low light recording” ( the camera sleeps at night time)providing much more usefule time slots for you
• “Instant Video” and “Post Free“
• Truly “WEEKS” or “MONTHS” of battery ( GoPro  and the rest of camcorders —“Minutes” or “Hours” )

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Brinno TLC200 Pro HDR Time Lapse Video Camera (Electronics)

This is a great product. I’ve always wanted to do time lapse, but never wanted to get into all the mechanics of it. Who wants to tie up an expensive camera and risk it getting damaged or “permanently relocated?” Brinno makes time lapse stupid easy. It is almost a miracle in the palm of your hand. I read the manual, set up the camera and did a great first video of carpet being installed in my game room. Here’s all it takes: Position the camera, select the capture interval, turn the camera on, record the event, turn it off, let the Brinno do its thing (image processing), pop out the flash card, slip it in the computer. iPhoto loads it — BOOM! You’ve got a time lapse movie. It saves as an AVI, but when you load it into quick time (as in play it in quick time) it automatically gets converted into a .mov. It’s that easy. No assembling in post (as with the GOPRO unit). Seriously, this thing makes time lapse as easy as taking a snap shot. Image quality is very good. Size is shockingly small — in the palm of your hand. Light weight. I was even pleased with the packaging — rivals that of apple products. This is truly a user friendly device. Buy it and enjoy it.

The Final thought on Brinno construction camera—CANNOT GET ANY SIMPLER

Post Free & Fast Playback Construction camera

Which Construction Camera? 24 hrs monitoring or Incident Investigation/Documentation after?

Some construction site cameras are operated live and others are only used to investigate or document an incident after the fact.  A live, monitored system appears far more effective but the question is –Do you really need to be the like of the movie–“enemy of the States” ? So there are more and more construction sites which look to implement their own system and monitor it themselves.  When you take this route, most of the time the cameras are mounted and left on to record.  The recorder is located inside a site trailer and the footage from the camera’s are mainly used after something happens.  It is then that the site supervisor has to spend time looking through video to try and figure out what happened.  Then the issues will be —how difficult of the videos Processing and Playback?

The Post Free video processing

 

The sweetest spot is the “Instant Video“

What is “Instant Video”?–Brinno Construction camera captures and
converts thousands of photos into a Time Lapse video instantly and automatically on the camera, No Laptop required

(2) Fast Playback ( thin file)
