MstrMstr 0 Posted June 22, 2008 I am a Newbie and have a Q. Can a Web cam that tracks faces be used on my CCTV system as a door cam? I like the face tracking option and its a 1.3 megapixel cam for 80 bucks. The face tracking feature should spook most criminals who are casing a joint for invasion. I want them to see the cam tracking them. Thx folks. Davis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanjh1965 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Interesting.... Is it a Static Cam or does it actually move ? Put a link in your message so we can have a look at your Gadget. If it has a Video Output then it can be wired into a DVR ! P.S Sounds like a Swann special (scorpians favorite manufacturer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Hello! I would like this wireless camera that you have in the glass case. I am trying to watch who is stealing my mail from my mailbox. You mean I can't get a video of the guy's face? What do you mean that I have to change a 9 volt battery everyday??? Well then it will watch my car at night then. NO?? Why not? What is IR? Oh Kay! I will take the wireless outdoor IR cam. Oh? I only have $50.00! I need a vcr too? Well Ya! I do want to record. Yikes! You mean I have to buy 7 tapes, one for each day, and I need 3 tapes a day for 24 hour recording? I feel dizzy ................I ..................think ..........................I ............................am .................................going to ................................faint!

scorpion 0 Posted June 22, 2008 I would like to see this tech used at a pos (point of sale). The software puts a circle around an item that has not been rung up, and tracks the item such as "under the cart theft" ect! How about a circle on the guy/girl who is walking the wrong way such as at an airport, or a theme park where travel paths are directional. I know they have this tech, but in a cheaper software version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanjh1965 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Hey, a 9v Battery Camera, I think I can sell this to protect our airports and military installations on a maintance contract and make my fortune. I will be the next Bill Gates I think we should go back to Betamax tapes but hey instead of one tape a day set the VCR to 400 hours timelapse and call it Video Analytics Is this what Sunday's does to us Guy's !

MstrMstr 0 Posted June 22, 2008 I got my answer and a lot of friendly chiding.. Ok, I'll be the goat, but, WHAT ARE TAPES?? I do have a nice professional installed system, well planned and records to a offsite dvr. I like it. One thing though, my vandal armored unit on my barn took only one shotgun blast and that was it. Seems a 10 year old farm boy was just out hunting cameras. Police report reads- no investigation warranted. Thanks guys Davis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
