Wireless CCTV and Why People Use It

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Wireless CCTV cameras are fast replacing traditional CCTV cameras mainly because of their ability to let you see your home or business across the internet, as opposed to on a monitor in the same building as the cameras which is what traditional CCTV was all about. Following the widespread adoption of wireless CCTV in recent years, I wanted to discover a few of the weird and wonderful ways in which people are using the technology.

To achieve this, my UK-based company recently conducted a fascinating little survey to see what it is about wireless CCTV that really makes a difference to people’s lives. I’m going to share some of the results with you in this article. They contained more than a few surprises I can tell you. We asked people to finish a simple sentence and what follows are some of the interesting ways in which people answered:

I will never be without my wireless internet CCTV because…

  • “When my son gets home from school, the Internet CCTV system sends me a text message and I can log in to see what he’s up to!”
  • “We were going to get a burglar alarm for the house, but spent the money on this camera system instead. If I am away on business and my burglar alarm is ringing on the wall, I’m hardly going to hear it am I? With this system I get a text message when something happens.”
  • “I paid a lot of hard-earned cash for my place in the sun and I want peace of mind that it’s OK even when I am thousands of miles away. With this system I can see it any time I want, anywhere I happen to be, and if the worst happens and my house gets broken into, at least I will know about it straight away and I can get someone round there.”
  • “It’s like having someone looking after our property 24 hours a day.”
  • “I sometimes take a look at my pubs at night, after closing, from wherever I happen to be. I can make sure the staff are locking up – and not drinking after hours with their mates!”
  • “Back in the UK, we could show our friends and neighbours our Spanish villa – and how sunny it is right at that moment.”
  • “I just love new gadgets to be honest, and this is revolutionary! I can even see the house on my mobile phone, and switch the cameras on and off by sending a text message.”
  • “We build houses and we have a wireless camera in the show home on the development, so prospective buyers can take a look before deciding to visit.”
  • “When I am at work, I log in to check on the dogs.”
  • “We run an on-line shopping company. Our UK customers can see us at work, which gives them confidence in us and shows that there are real people behind the website.”
  • “It helps my property management company to attract business, because when our customers have this internet CCTV, we can get a copy of any alerts from the cameras and we’re on the spot to take immediate action.”

It’s great to hear that people are using wireless internet CCTV in so many different ways. It definitely seems to be one of those things that once experienced, is never given up.

Office Technology – Computer Accessories

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

New age office technology features computer accessories which have revolutionized the way we work with computers. Businessmen and corporate enterprises have found that owning a laptop or a desktop computer alone wouldn’t suffice. There are a lot of complementary components that need to go along with them to establish a full-fledged working environment.

Computer accessories aid in getting better results. They have specific purposes and benefits. Take for instance a situation where you find it difficult to view your laptop screen; you can always opt for a laptop raiser to adjust its height to your specific needs. This eliminates the constant need for bending and helps you maintain a proper posture, thereby avoiding back related ailments. Similarly, a notebook arm lets you adjust the positioning of the laptop for easy handling. This is best suited for labs and offices where there is space constraint and people are constantly on the move.

Advanced office technology solutions include the latest computer accessories, which have made the experience of working more pleasurable. Unlike earlier, when stress was a major factor affecting efficiency, today we have comfortable, anti-stress components that ease computer usage. These include gel based wrist-rest (keyboard) and mouse pads which help reduce pressure from long duration typing and handling of the mouse.

Computer monitor accessories are among the most sought after office technology solutions. Monitors emit harmful radiation and the constant glare affects our eyes. The use of anti-glare radiation filters on the monitor helps computer workaholics attain relief from headaches and watery eyes.

For corporates and big businesses, computer network accessories are definitely a boon. It is convenient to establish a computer network with the right accessories than having to run about for one thing or the other.

In an effort to ensure state-of-the-art office technology, manufacturers introduce innovative computer accessories on a regular basis. You can find cleaning kits for printers and monitors, CD/DVD lens cleansers, toolkit, computer stands and a lot more. There are many discount computer accessories stores which offer competitive pricing.

Value Plus Paper is a leading supplier of office technology products including computer accessories and office machines. The computer accessories offered by Value Plus Paper include laptop accessories, monitor& machine stands, holders and drawers, etc.

The Flawed Logic of Competent AI Assistance Considered

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Many are looking forward to a time in the near future when we will have artificial intelligent assistants that can work along humans, side-by-side and help them stay efficient. This will surely happen and computer scientists are busy working on this right now. Of course, there is only one logical conclusion to this technology, once those AI robots watch and observe, and learn from experience on the job?

You see, all their knowledge will eventually download to all the other robots of their kind, thus exponential learning, indeed, there will be no learning curve like a human apprentice. And as a reality check on this entire issue consider this;

By the time Artificial Intelligent assistants are completely competent, will be about the same time they will be replacing humans anyway. When they can design an AI Computer or assistant android that is really useful to work alongside humans and learn to serve them better, is the time that humans will no longer be needed.

For those who believe that an artificially intelligent robot will not take their job, well, they are just denying the facts really, it’s only a matter of time and that clock is already clicking by. Humans are not going to be needed for production and supply much longer, so we need to figure out what to do with them all.

Scary stuff, even if today we are only talking science fiction, because tomorrow will come soon enough, less than a couple of decades now. You humans simply will not be able to compete, ah ha ha, ha, ha!
