Posted by joeltjen in Blog Carnivals on February 4, 2010
Welcome to the February 4, 2010 edition of the Security Cameras and CCTV Practices blog carnival. We got several decent submissions this month everyone, so keep them coming and we’ll try to include everything we can! Remember, try to keep it relevant to security cameras and surveillance, although we will include a few “general technology” pieces as well, if interesting.
CCTV Security Cameras
ApexCCTV presents Choosing what type of Security Camera you need for your Installation posted at The CCTV Blog, saying, “Choosing the right security cameras for a particular application is an important step in designing a surveillance system, especially if you want that system to actually be an effective crime solving tool, rather than simply a deterrent.”
General Technology
Roxanne Mcann presents 30 Gadget Sites Taking the Internet by Storm posted at XRAY Technician Training.
Matthew Paulson presents Prepare for a Full Body Scan posted at American Consumer News saying, “Across the United States, airports will be introducing full body scan machines to help authorities run more effective scans of airline passengers before boarding flights. This move stems from the Christmas Day attempt bombing on a flight destined to arrive on US soil.”
Suhani presents An iPhone Security Camera posted at iPhone Help.
IP Cameras
ApexCCTV presents Axis Communications introduces IP-based mobile video surveillance solution for use in vehicles – CCTVBLOG.NET posted at CCTVBlog.net, saying, “Axis Communications has introduced a complete, IP-based mobile video surveillance solution consisting of a new series of network cameras and a network video recorder for use in buses, trains, subway cars and emergency vehicles.”
Security Systems
ApexCCTV presents Integrating your POS with Video Surveillance to Prevent Theft and Liabilities posted at HowToSurveillance, saying, “Point of Sale (POS) and video surveillance systems serve important purposes on their own; however, integrating your POS system with a video surveillance system can help to prevent several types of losses and/or liabilities from happening to restaurant/hotel/retail owners including:”
Surveillance Practices
ApexCCTV presents Arguments against Video Surveillance posted at The CCTV Blog, saying, “As the use of CCTV cameras increases across the United States and globe, so does the debate over their numbers and motives. In a previous post, Arguments for Video Surveillance, we looked at four arguments for video surveillance. These arguments included peace of mind, loss prevention, crime deterrent and crime solving.”
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of Security Cameras and CCTV Practices using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
