As we come to the end of another year, we anxiously await the latest advancements in technology. The leaps and bounds that have been made this year include the Digital Video Recorder with remote access capabilities. So your hidden cameras for home are now viewable on any internet connection or iPhone! These are a hot item and are flying off the shelves for people who travel and like to check in on their property, mothers returning to work with the child and nanny at home, and business owners checking in on their employees. There are limitless applications and uses for this new technology, so don't miss out!

I hope you all have a wonderful New Years and a fresh start to the next year ahead of us!

H.264 Compression DVR

If you haven't heard about the latest, here it is!

There is a new, state-of-the-art "S-Box" Series DVR that features superior video quality, iPhone integration, USB backup, and other unique features at an affordable price.
This DVR allows real-time recording, playback and also provides picture quality that is unmatched by any other standalone DVR on the market. The superb clarity of the recorded video is made possible by the H.264 video codec. With the unsurpassed video quality, this series of DVRs also take up very little hard drive space. It also supports Internet Explorer for network preview and easy USB backup function. Other features include Email notification, DDNS, Alarm input, Alarm relay output, Audio recording and much more.
This latest DVR includes software that allows you to access and monitor your DVR anywhere anytime! It currently supports the iPhone, Symbian OS, and Windows Based Smart Phones.
The iPhone will need an application for this service which is available through Apple.

Imagine the ability to view the security cameras in your home, office or business from anywhere you travel!

Recall for Home Products

Well, the latest scare would be fire hazards in the home. Back in August, there were more than 200,000 Frigidaire and Kenmore smooth top oven/ranges recalled. This was due to the fact that over 100 reports were made about the stove tops coming on all by themselves! Even more astonishing was the fact that this wasn't some short where it would come on and go off immediately. The elements will just turn on without being switched on, and they will stay on! Talk about a fire hazard! Several people have even been burned, not realizing the burners were on.
What if you weren't home? Suppose there was a dish rag or paper towel in contact with the stove top? How long do you think it would take for that paper towel to get hot enough to ignite? Not long enough, in my opinion!
Access to your home's security cameras via a streaming DVR would save thousands if not hundreds of thousands in getting fire officials to your address sooner! If caught early enough, a neighbor could even break in for you and hose down the fire.
While I hate to be obnoxious about the usefullness of security cameras, they are a definite necessity!

Did you know?

Wow! Not only do these remote access DVR's (Digital Video Recorders) stream live video from your home's security cameras, the ones I carry are the only ones on the market with the capability to zoom and pan with your cell phone!
Wouldn't that be neat! You log in to your video feed from your cell phone....and, Oh, isn't that cute! The cat is playing with something under the coffee table. But what is it? Now you can zoom in and see that your beloved cat is playing with the dead mouse she so deftly captured in your back yard. And she's doing it on your brand new carpet just installed last week!
So, if you live close enough, you can come home on your break and eradicate the poor deceased animal from your living room carpet.

Well, OK, you might not do that, but what if you could access your video feed from the living room camera and see two sets of legs intertwined on your couch? Now you have the capability of panning and zooming in to watch in a horrified stupor while your nanny makes out with her greasy haired boyfriend on your couch. And...is that your 8 month old playing on the floor not 10 feet away?? I don't know about you, but I would break every speed limit in the state to get home and deal with that little scenario!

Something to ponder...

Help! How do I set this DVR up?

So you just got your new hidden camera and DVR in the mail! Congrats!

What do I do with this thing now?

Well, first off...read the instructions if there are any! I'm so helpful, right?!

* Power

First thing you need to worry about is how to power your device. Many come with a cord you can plug into any standard electrical outlet. But many are portable or wireless and require batteries. Check to see what size batteries are needed and install.

* Wireless Receiver

Most often, your device will come with a receiver if it is wireless. This is something that needs power itself and will need to be plugged in. Then you will connect this device to your TV, VCR, DVR, or Computer Monitor for viewing and/or recording. Connection requires a RCA cable which usually comes with your hidden camera. This will fit into the usually tri-colored plug-ins on any TV, VCR or DVR and some Monitors.
Note: Make sure the antenna is in place on your receiver and check the frequency to be sure there isn't any interference!

* Wired Hidden Cameras

These units are fool proof. They will usually come with an RCA cable to attach directly from your hidden camera to your TV, VCR, DVR or monitor. The other cord will be your power cord, which is usually your only power source. These units obviously will have a little more restrictions on where you can place them since they will need to be within reach of an electrical outlet.

* Remote Access DVR

This is where the fun part comes in! Some DVR's may be different but the ones I sell at www.premiumnannycameras.com are set up as follows:
Your DVR will come with software to be installed on your computer. This will allow you to set up a user name and password for logging in remotely (from somewhere besides your home) to see your cameras. Your DVR must be programmed with your computer's unique IP (internet protocol) address (basically your computer's thumb print) in order to send this streaming video from your hidden camera to anywhere else.

* Required elements for your streaming video to work

Internet Explorer
Windows 2000, XP and Vista
If you are accessing video via cell phone, you must have Java 2.0
and an internet plan with your wireless carrier.
This means you have to have the latest cell phones what will support internet access.
Some of these phones are the iPhone, Symbian OS, and the Windows Based Smart Phone.

This technology is nothing short of amazing since it allows you to zoom in and pan while viewing your video!

I hope this was a little helpful in your attempt to set up hidden cameras with a DVR.
