GENERAL QUESTIONS ON WIRELESS
Can a camera detect motion?
No, not the camera itself. Motion detection is a function of a recorder such as a DVR where it digitally senses video fluctuation to record upon motion. A VCR or a consumer level DVR (e.g Tivo) can not detect motion.
Can a security camera itself record? such as a pinhole or a miniature camera?
No, unlike a camcorder, security cameras by themselves do not record. You will need to connect to a recorder such as a VCR, DVR or a PC with a recording software. However, we do carry "all-in-one" cameras that can record to it's built-in DVR and "self-contained system" that has a DVR attachment.
Does your cameras work with different voltage for other countries?
Most of our camera come with a power adapter that can handle form 110V ~240V AC.
In case of a direct AC plug-in camera such as clock radio camera
We will include the 220V to 110V (60Hz) step-down converter.
However, if your country uses 50Hz, the time on the clock, because it is digital, will not be correct (off about 20 min a day)
How can I connect a camera to a laptop?
All security cameras (except for web or wifi IP cameras) are composite video, so you will need to convert the signal to digital in order to connect to a laptop via USB port.
You can use a video capture device found in a computer store however most likely it will not come with a security recording software.
