License Plate Capture Cameras Capture Usable Footage That Identifies License Plates

License plate cameras can be an extremely useful security tool. In cases of traffic violations, hit and run incidents, or locating stolen vehicles, license plate cameras can be vital. Unfortunately, these offenses can sometimes result in serious injuries or tragic losses. When employed properly, license plate cameras can help to identify and detain these criminals.

If you own a business, you can install these cameras in various places to help keep yourself, your employees, and the public safe. Use license plate cameras in your parking lot or situated outdoors to monitor parking areas. If any incidents occur, you can submit your footage to law enforcement to review.  This can be potential evidence to resolve any issues.

Red light cameras are often license plate capture cameras with great zoom and resolution. This allows law enforcement to identify violators by image and vehicle. These cameras can also potentially capture hit and run suspects.

Burglary Prevention Tips from SecurityCamExpert.com

As the holiday season rolls in, safety and security become a higher priority. Expensive gifts and holiday vacations are just some of the reasons your property becomes a prime target. Don’t fall victim to an unfortunate and preventable burglary. Follow these tips on how to protect your home while you’re away.

Don’t let intruders know you’re away.

Find ways to make your home look occupied while you’re away. If you’ll be travelling, don’t advertise it. Be wary of what you post on social media sites, as thieves may pose as your “friends.” Have a trusted neighbor or friend pick up your mail rather than stopping it. If you have a landline, turn the ringer down so people won’t hear your calls going unanswered. If possible, set timers on your lights to mimic normal patterns of use.

Make it difficult to break in.

Be sure to lock all windows and doors, and never leave a spare key outside where it can easily be found. Consider reinforcing your locks and doors to help prevent a successful forceful entry. With sliding doors, use a metal or wooden rod along the track as extra defense against intruders. You may also want to think about using an invisible security film to strengthen your windows or glass panes. Trees should be trimmed and ladders should be locked up to prevent climbing to a second story or roof for alternate entry.

Avoid easy hiding areas around your property.

Trees, bushes, and shrubs make it easy for burglars to hide. If you must use plants around your home, thorny plants or bushes can aid protection. Utilize outdoor lighting for driveways, yards, and entrances. Motion sensor lights can scare potential burglars away. Being easily seen and caught is discouraging for them.

Neighbors and friends can be the best allies.

Get to know your neighbors so you can look out for each other. If you’re not as close to your neighbors, have a close friend keep an eye on your place or check in from time to time. Rest easy knowing a simple call or text will keep you in the loop.

Install a home security camera system.

If your budget permits, installing security cameras and a home alarm system can pose as an efficient deterrent to criminals. With visible security cameras and/or noticeable home alarm signs posted outside, burglars will often back off and try to find an easier target. Most security cameras also enable remote viewing from different devices, allowing you to check in on your live feed while you’re away.

Have you employed any of these tactics? How did they work for you? Do you have any tips to add? Share your ideas and experiences with us! Connect with us on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest , and Twitter.

Your safety and security is important to us. From now until Halloween, we have a special security camera system bundle on sale. Give us a call at 1-888-203-6294 to place your order. You can also visit us online at SecurityCamExpert.com for your security and surveillance needs.

Nixie – Set Your Camera Free!

These days, wearable tech seems to be the ultimate convenience. A prevalent trend would be the smart watches, which condense your smart phone into a highly advanced wearable watch. The demand is so high that Intel is holding a “Make It Wearable” contest. The purpose of the competition is to create a unique wearable tech to improve daily living. Of the contestants is Nixie, a flying wearable camera quadcopter.

Nixie’s goal is to capture your treasured moments from a different perspective and in a way you couldn’t do it before. In essence, these are the candid moments you wish you had documented. And because Nixie is a drone, you eliminate the need for an actual photographer while achieving astounding angles for unique photos. This allows for everyone to truly enjoy the moment providing honest moments in snapshots.

Nixie is worn on the wrist, and with a simple gestue, it can fly up and off to snap a photo and then returns to the person’s hand. It’s similar to a camera and a boomerang rolled into one.

It all seems like a wonderful device, but as with commercial drones these days, problems can and will arise. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is slowly but surely finalizing various policies and regulations concerning commercial use of drones. And as with anything flying in the air, safety issues come into play. Malfunctions or misuse can cause trouble, potentially putting the user and Nixie in hot water.

Despite these issues, the competition rolls on. We’ll have to wait until November 3 to see who comes out on top. With all that’s been said, how much will the Nixie improve your everyday life? Do you see this as more of a novelty item or do you think most people will embrace these types of gadgets? Will the FAA or safety issues cause problems? We want to hear your thoughts. You can connect with us on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest.
