CD-9361 Outdoor Long Range Home or Business IR Infrared Business Security Camera

Great Long-Range Night Vision IR Infrared Security Camera for Home or Business

There are few things that our customers ask for more than long-range nightvision. It is for that reason, that our CD-9361 Outdoor Long Range Infrared IR Bullet camera is one of our most popular cameras. This camera has a maximum IR range of 200′ under ideal conditions…longer than most other IR cameras. The CD-9361 camera also has a Sony® 700 TVL CCD with EFFIO™ DSP chip for great high resolution color video during the daytime and black and white infrared night vision at night. This image sensor is the latest model and delivers great quality video in virtually any situation.

The camera also has a built-in 2.8~12mm varifocal (adjustable zoom) lens, which allows you to really make use of the longer IR range of this camera. By zooming in further, you can get better distinguishing characteristics than you can if you have the camera set to a wider view. This great high quality lens can be easily adjusted from the underside of the camera, allowing you to zoom the camera in or out between a 100° field of view at the widest and down to a 30° field of view at the narrowest.

Wide Dynamic Range 700TVL Sony Image Sensor delivers great video...even with headlights on.

Wide Dynamic Range Image Sensor for easy adjustment even in harsh lighting

The built-in On-Screen-Display (OSD) of the CD-9361 Outdoor Long-Range Infrared night vision makes it even more functional for the home or business security camera users. This OSD allows you to adjust the color, brightness, contrast and saturation of the camera, so that you can achieve a great quality video regardless of lighting. Also built into this camera is a super wide dynamic range, which allows this camera to adjust to different areas of the picture simultaneously, this allows the camera to provide better coverage and still adjust to provide the best chance of delivering license plates, even when vehicles are driving at the camera with headlights on.

CD-9361 Camera also has head light compensation for capture of license plates even with headlights on

HLC lets you see even with Headlights on the way

For times when the super wide dynamic range image sensor isn’t enough for your situations, the CD-9361 camera also has HLC (High Light Compensation) which can be used to black out areas of extreme lighting, to help deliver a better chance of capturing license plates. While no camera can guarantee license plates, because there are many factors that will affect it, by eliminating most of the lighting concerns, the CD-9361 camera can deliver a better chance than many cameras 2 times its price!

The low and no-light night vision of the ID-4261 camera makes it ideal for home security camera installations and business security cameras alike. Bar and restaurant owners find these cameras particularly appealing, as these environments have low light levels throughout much of the business day, and the varifocal lens can be used to help zoom in on areas like cash registers to watch the flow of cash into and out of the business.

Teddy Bear Hidden Nanny Spy Camera

Posted on August 23, 2011 by platinumcctv

Teddy Bear Hidden Nanny Camera watches and listens and records onto SD Card

Adorable Bear, just wants to be loved...and watch and listen...and report back.

As nanny cameras go, this one is actually a bit cliché, but still one of the best-selling designs of spy cameras that are available today. Teddy Bear cameras have been around since the days of someone shoving an entire camcorder inside a hollowed out teddy bear to try to find out what happens with the children when you leave for your night out on the time. Luckily, our new TD-DVR32 model hidden nanny camera doesn’t require that level of dedication. This teddy bear nanny cam has a built-in SD Card motion detection DVR and will deliver audio and video recording from its built-in Sony® CCD image sensor and microphone. The audio and video will even record only when motion is detected if desired…making it easier to playback by jumping the gaps of time when no one is in the room.

Hidden SD Card Slot and DVR for recording

This teddy camera also has a built-in rechargeable battery that can provide up to 20 hours of audio and video recording, so that you can even leave him for an extended stay. This is quite possibly one of the most advanced hidden nanny teddy bear spy cameras that we have ever seen, which is why we now offer it! Simply charge up this cute and cuddly teddy bear with the included power adapter, and then turn on the hidden recording switch and the teddy bear will start recording right away any time motion is detected.

Are all iPhone Compatible DVRs created equal?

Posted on February 25, 2011 by platinumcctv

Day in and day out, we get calls from customers looking to be able to watch their security cameras from their iPhone or iPad. Of course they do, because in

reality this really truly makes the security cameras useful…but just finding a DVR that says it is iPhone compatible doesn’t mean that the experience is the same.

Most of the ‘iPhone compatible’ DVRs on the market provide a very basic remote viewing at best…sometimes not even natively. Meaning that in many cases, the software for the iPhone is programmed by some 3rd party company, sometimes delivering an unstable program that only offers basic viewing capabilities.

Alnet PCI and PCIe DVR Cards offer the best iPhone Viewing

However, unlike most of the DVRs on the market, our Alnet PC-Based DVR Cards provide true remote viewing from an iPhone, iPod and iPad with streaming live video, control of digital inputs and outputs, playback of video from your iPhone or iPad, and even the ability to save images right onto your device. For more advanced systems that have PTZ control, a simple swipe of the finger on your iPhone screen will even allow you to control the movement of a PTZ camera.

Built into the iPhone app interface, there is even the ability to custom-tailor the quality and framerate of the cameras to deliver smooth video even when your iPhone or iPad has a slower internet connection speed. Want to really see the difference between the Alnet DVR’s iPhone capabilities and another DVR? Then go to the app store and download “CMS Mobile” application. This free app even includes several public demo servers that will allow you to connect in and view live cameras.

So before your make a hasty decision to replace your DVR with another one that claims it is ‘iPhone compatible’…check it out and find out what the true capabilities of the iPhone remote viewing are. We’re certain that you will find the Alnet PC-Based DVR Cards will provide a more stable, and more capable iPod, iPhone and iPad security camera remote viewing.
