HD IP Camera: An Asset to the Campus Management

Posted on May 21, 2013 by xiaojun

   Nowadays, educational administrators confront many challenges that did not exist for previous generations. One of them is campus safety which becomes the hot topic among parents, school staff and government officials. Under such circumstances, school administrators begin to put their eyes on the newly-born IP camera tech. Let’s see the far-reaching benefits of TENVIS IP surveillance camera brought to today’s campuses.

   As schools are a hub of activity with not only students, teachers and faculty members moving about, but also parents, delivery personnel and unauthorized visitors. Well-positioned surveillance cameras are ideal for monitoring this movement and activity at the perimeter of the campus and making the omnibearing safety and protection administration possible.

    Not only can IP cameras help maintain safety around campus, they also can discourage students’ misbehavior, including bullying, fighting, steal and vandalism in cafeteria, library, dormitory and other places that within the monitoring range of the IP cameras. Furthermore, in the event of an emergency or disaster, IP cameras can notify the administrator as soon as possible.

     The TENVIS IP camera can also act as the supervisor during the examination process as it can monitor every move of the students and offer them a fair and safe test environment. The same application is also suitable during the class. By studying the video recorded during the class, teachers can analyze the reactions of their students and find better ways to improve the teaching methods and stimulate their students.

    Beyond the class management concern, education institutes can use security cameras to safeguard and evaluate the professionalism of their staff members. Teachers can also watch other teachers teaching style and learn from each other which can promote communications between teaching staff.

    Campus security and student safety are paramount. Network IP cameras put more “eyes” on campus, helping to ensure greater peace of mind for district administrators, campus leaders, faculty and parents alike. For many educational institutions, this shift from traditional analog technology to open platform IP video surveillance comes at a perfect time. However, there is one more consideration, that is selecting a solution well-supported providers and TENVIS can definitely be your perfect partner.

Watch Out the Safety of Wireless Security Cameras

Posted on May 19, 2013 by xiaojun

      Have you ever doubt that your trustful wireless security cameras may betray you one day? Yes, you must be aware of this reality and watch out the safety of your wireless security cameras. You may ask the same question as theRoman poet Juvenal centuries ago. “Who watches the watchmen?” The answer, apparently, is hackers.

     Wireless security cameras offer a number of benefits over wired models. They essentially allow users to monitor any building, from small homes to large businesses, without the use of costly infrastructure. If you have a few cameras, a decent computer and an Internet connection, you’ve got a security station.

     Unfortunately, this kind ofInternet connection could also be the system’s undoing. Using a complex search engine called Shodan, hackers can find just about anything with an IP address, including security cameras. After identifying a system, finding a particular camera is pretty simple. However, it is not enough to hack the video feed byjust finding asecurity camera,the fact is that a large number of users never think to change the default username or password for their cameras. Many TENVIS security cameras still use the default settings: “admin” as a username and no password which makes the hackerstake no effort to break into the systems.

     You may wonder what’s the fun for hackers taking trouble to hack the security cameras given that it’s neither as inherently profitable as stealing financial information nor as tantalizing as peeking into private users’ webcams. Still, spying on the inner workings of corporations or learning a security guard’s schedule in preparation for a burglary could prove useful for criminals.

     Fixing security vulnerabilities in TENVIS IP cameras is extremely easy. Just changing the default username and passwordand ensuring that your cameras have updated to the latest firmware will keep you safe from the most common exploits. So let get started to keep the hackers out of our security systems.

Why Choose IP over Analog?

Posted on May 15, 2013 by xiaojun

     The primary difference between the IP camera and the analog camera is the way in which the video signal is delivered. Analog cameras turn the video signal into a format that can be received by a television or other receiver such as a VCR or monitor. An IP based camera, also known as an IP network camera, digitizes the video signal using a specialized encoder that contains an onboard web serve which allows the IP camera to act as a network device, thus allowing captured video images to be viewed not only through an existing network, but also through a web browser that can be accessed through the Internet. Based on this, let’s see why the IP cameras have become more and more popular in recent years.

     The first, and perhaps most useful feature of IP camera is the ability to access the video from anywhere with an internet connection. You can monitor the area with ease from a computer at home or at work, or even on your smart phone when you outside. This is such a convenience compared to the analog camera. By moving the monitoring field though a simple click, you will also be able to observe a wider range. Thus an IP camera can replace multiple analog cameras covering the same range of space.

     Also, the IP cameras excel in capturing high definition, megapixel images which provides more detail and clarity compared to analog cameras as analog cameras apply CCD as the image sensor thus image quality is limited by certain technical bottlenecks. The maximum image quality is 700 TVL for general analog cameras. Whereas IP cameras equipped with CMOS image sensor can produce better megapixels quality. That is 1-2 megapixels for IP cameras on the current market. With the advancement of technology, 5 or 8 megapixels IP cameras will be launched on the market soon.

      Moreover, the analog cameras cannot be analyzed by management software neither can its functions be user-defined. In real life, we usually do not have the time or does not need to monitor the video all day and IP camera can offer you a few different options to help you simplify your life. By setting up a schedule to define which period of time to alert you via email or other means, you can save much time.

     So whether you’re looking for a camera to monitor your home and keep an eye on pets or you need to monitor your retail location, IP camera is a terrific solution and TENVIS are among the best models.

Properly Mount Your IP Cameras

Posted on May 13, 2013 by xiaojun

    Currently, the network surveillance device has gradually found favor in the eyes of consumers as it brings people much convenience in daily life. However, consumers always meet various problems in the process of installing the device. So what should we pay attention to during installation?

 1. Locational Requirement

    As for the IP Camera, the location of which can directly affect the imaging quality. Considering this, many users take the monitoring angle as a primary reference. In the meanwhile, they overlooked a very important point, that is the IP Camera is not smart enough so that it has its own requirements on the selection of the installation location. To avoid the interference of the surrounding environment, we should ensure that the equipment is no less than 2.5 meters in height when mounted indoors, while in the open air, the height should be more than 3.5 meters. Otherwise, many negative effects will be caused.

 2. Wiring Demand

    The line construction style of IP camera is obviously more complicated than the traditional analog one. The point is that we have to pay attention to the interfering issues no matter what kind of transmission type will be adopted. Especially for wired transmission of the video signal, the same direction transmission of the signal line and the high-power wires is undoubtedly a taboo in the line construction process, let alone putting them in the same transmission line pipe. Even though subjected to environmental limitation, we must ensure that  at least half a meter should be kept between them which can avoid the strong magnetic interference to video transmission. As to the wireless signal transmission device, though there is less limits on cable, the camera itself should stay away from the surrounding magnetic interference source. At the same time we have to ensure that the camera is insulated from the ground. In addition, we should also note the influence of the wiring to the pan/tilt head.

3. Lighting Environment Demand

     Nowadays, wide dynamic has been adopted by many cameras to upgrade their imaging capability in back lighting environment. However, this does not mean that the camera can work continuously in the glare because the camera cannot locate image accurately under strong light environment and eventually lead to permanent decolorization of color filter. Therefore, if possible, we should make the camera lens stay away from a long time strong light environment.

4.  Choosing a High-performance Terminal

   Choose a high-performance terminal is also indispensable. Considering the system performance, we should try to adopt the most advanced processing system like linux or win7 whose advanced CPU, relatively large capacity of memory and play card and etc, can make our equipment have a better imaging effect. In addition, in our system, if there are other auxiliary alarm facilities, pay attention to the compatibility of these systems.

 5. Accessories Installation

      In addition to some of the aspects mentioned above, we should also pay attention to the auxiliary equipment installation. For example, making the installation location of the camera ‘s pan and tilt head, rack and etc, meet the design requirements. The distance of the back and sides of the rack to the wall should meet the maintenance requirements.

     What have been mentioned above should be focused when we set up a simple network monitoring system. Only when we grasp these important but easily overlooked elements can we enjoy a more efficient and convenient network monitoring system.
