Alarm Cable for Less

Due to increased international demand from countrys like China and India the price of commoditiy items has skyrocketed in recent years. This rise in costs is especially evident in the metals commodity markets. Since copper is the key element in low voltage electric alarm and audio cables and is a commodity metal the cost of low voltage wire and cable has also dramatically risen in recent years.

Another factor which contributes to the cost of low voltage wire and cable is how much copper production processing is involved in making a particular type of copper conductor for for the low voltage wire and cable.There is much more processing and thus cost in the manufacturing of stranded copper conductors. A less costly alternative is to use solid copper conductor wire and cable since it does not require the extra manufacturing processing costs of stranded wire copper conductors.Wire and cable made with solid bare copper conductors is not as flexible as those made with stranded copper conductors. The loss of some flexibility is made up for with the lower cost of solid conductor wire and cable. Most low voltage alarm systems use a small gauge (22 awg.) size wire and the small loss of cable flexiblity does not just justify overlooking the costs savings of using solid conductor wire.

In today's market the cost of a 2 conductor 22 gauge (awg.) stranded bare copper alarm cable would be around $29.50 (US Dollars) per 1000 feet (304.8m) of wire. The cost of a 2 conductor 22 gauge (awg.) solid bare copper alarm cable is $26.95 (US Dollars) per 1000 feet (304.8m) of wire. By using the solid bare copper conductor alarm wire you would save 8.64%.

Here is another example:This 2 conductor 22 gauge solid bare copper alarm cable cost just $20.75 (US Dollars) per 1000 feet (304.8m) of wire. If the 2 conductor stranded bare copper security cable costs $29.50 (US Dollars) per 1000 feet (304.8m) of wire, you save $8.75 (US Dollars) per 1000 feet (304.8m) of wire or 29.66%.

Here is a more detailed description of the alarm cable which costs just $20.75 (US Dollars) per 1000feet (304.8m) of wire:

Unshielded Cable:22/2 solid bare copper CMR 1000 ft(304.8m)Spools Brown * Weight per 1000 ft (304.8m) Spool is 10 lbs (4.5Kg) * The correct order quantity is the total number of 1000 ft (304.8m) spools needed. If 5000 ft (1524m) is needed then the proper order quantity is 5. ( 5 spools of 1000 ft 304.8m) * Applications:Nurse Call,Home Alarm System,Zone Fire Alarm,Residential Security,Home Theater,Communication Cable,Circuit Control Cable,Home Automation,Sound System,Intercom,Public Address System,Security System,,Power Limited Control Circuits,Commercial Security * Approvals:NEC Article 725 & 800,Type CMR,CL3R & MPR,CSA Type FT-4,UL Subject 13 & 444,California State Fire Marshal, -20 to 75Degree C, 300 Volt Rated * Conductor Insulation: PVC * Jacket:Riser Rated PVC,Rip Cord,Ascending & Descending Footage Markers * 4 x 1000 ft Spools in a Box * Order in Increments 4. Example 4 spools,8 spools or 12 spools ect.

Use solid bare copper conductor wire and cable and save your money!

Home Security Video Camera: Why Get One?

Ever wonder how convenience stores capture those images that help them to capture the burglars who victimize their stores? Those are video cameras. You can have your own home security video camera protect your home in much the same way as well. With a home security video camera, you can record all the evidence you will need if your house is burgled, for example, while you were away for a weekend.

Why video?

With digital imaging becoming more and more advanced, video should be left behind: This, of course, is false. Although digital stills may offer much better quality now, video still stands as a great way to record what activities are going on in your house. A picture cannot tell you how a crime was delivered; even a series of pictures will not give you enough proof to see how your house was burgled. Cameras that take still shots will also most probably give you blurred images of what goes on in your house, especially if there is a lot of movement going on. Video is also something that cannot be altered, unlike pictures that can be manipulated with simple software like Photo Shop.

What kind of video?

You can opt to use a home security video camera that records in black and white or in color. But that’s not your only option. You can also buy cameras that have other features. Some cameras can record activities in complete darkness using night vision. This is great because intruders will not be able to see the exact placement of a home security video camera in the dark. Night vision technology itself has also advanced and can now record video in the dark in full color as opposed to the green colored night vision of the past. Another great feature of some home security video camera units is that they can record in infrared. This means that you can record thermal images of what goes on in your house. Infrared is great for monitoring purposes since you will not be able to see faces in the recorded infrared video. You can monitor to see if there is someone in your house just by checking if your camera is picking up body heat in the room that will come out reds and yellows. It is a very useful feature that can be used also in complete darkness.

What else can it do?

A home security video camera can also be set up to be used with motion detection devices. Once movement is detected in different areas of your house, your cameras can be prompted to start recording automatically. They can also be configured to start recording and set off alarms inside you house, whether silent or not.

A home security video camera is the best way to capture evidence of a burglary whether you are in or out of the house. By connecting it to a computer, you can also monitor things from a remote location so this is especially useful while you are traveling. If you are looking for efficient security that you can use to prevent crime or help to catch criminals, a homes security video camera is exactly what you need for your home.

Saving Money Whilst Saving the Planet with Portable Home Heating

There can be few of us these days who are not interested in cutting down on our energy bills and reducing our carbon footprint. An Inverter portable heater from Household Innovations helps you achieve both!

This powerful, highly efficient heating marvel uses the latest technology from Japan to provide instant, clean, economical heat which can be thermostatically controlled at the touch of a button.

At this time of year it makes sense to avoid using the central heating and just heat the rooms you need using a portable heater. Central heating wastes untold heat even if you switch off unused radiators because it still pumps hot water all around the house. An Inverter will heat a large room or combination of rooms easily, saving you hundreds of pound a year and reducing your carbon emissions.

What’s more because your Inverter runs on paraffin (without smell, fumes or condensation incidentally) you are using a “pay as you go” fuel and not running up a quarterley bill making it ideal for people on a fixed income.

Inverter heaters offer modern, stylish and portable heating solutions for those who want to cut heating costs and care for the environment.

Light and portable it can be moved easily from room to room.

You can set the heater to come on just before you get up in the morning or arrive home, creating a warm welcome.

Inverters are packed with safety features for your peace of mind.
It will automatically and instantly shut down if knocked or jarred.
No part of the cabinet becomes hot enough to scold.
Sensors will extinguish the heater if the room becomes too hot or has insufficient ventilation.

Improving your Air Quality With an Air Purifier

Did You Know?

According to a 2002 survey by the American Lung Association and 3M, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks poor indoor air quality among the top five environmental risks to public health. Interestingly enough, five out of ten Americans are not aware of this fact.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has greatly deteriorated over the years due to stringent laws enacted during the 1970s in response to energy shortages throughout the nation. As a result of these conservation efforts, homes and offices alike have been constructed to be air-tight, therefore trapping dangerous pollutants such as dust, pollen, gases, and microorganisms into homes and offices. Because of this, indoor air is contaminated, and this, in combination with the fact that Americans are now spending up to 90% of their time indoors, has resulted in an alarming increase in symptoms associated with asthma, hay fever, and other respiratory problems.

Indoor exposure to contaminants in the workplace, tobacco smoke, mold and biological pollutants, hospital pollution, and pet dander and odors can trigger disorders like multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), as well as asthma and allergies.

In fact, exposure to airborne particulates is one of the primary triggers for asthma attacks. Indoor air pollutants have also been shown to cause and exacerbate symptoms such as eye, nose, and throat irritations; headaches; fatigue; and dizziness. Long-term exposure to such pollutants can even cause heart failure, cancer, and other severe, debilitating, and/or even fatal diseases. Because of this relatively recent evidence showing the effects of indoor air contaminants, air purifiers have become increasingly popular for both home and commercial use. Even the EPA has noted that air purifiers and cleaners are an effective way to remove particles and pollutants from indoor air.

Consequently, with this increased interest in air purification technology, there has been a surge of air purifiers flooding the market, and choosing an effective air purifier may seem like a daunting task. With several air purifiers utilizing technologies such as HEPA filtration, ionization, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV) light, it is not surprising that many consumers may feel overwhelmed when shopping for an air purifier.

Generally, air purifiers clean the air by any one of these three ways or by a combination of these methods: by attracting and collecting particulates using either mechanical or chemical filters, by emitting ions via an ion generator to charge and attract particles, or by passing airborne particles through a UV lamp to change the DNA of microorganisms, which render them harmless and unable to reproduce. When deciding on an air purifier, it is important to choose a purifier with a filtration system that is designed for your specific problem, such as allergies, pet dander, tobacco smoke, or mold/mildew. As well, the noise level of an air purifier, the energy the purifier consumes, and the square footage of the area being purified should also be considered.

Whether you're an asthmatic looking to decrease the amount of dander in your home, or whether you need to maintain germ-free air for your clean room, an air purifier can help keep the air you breathe contaminant-free.

Voltage Transformer/Converter and Adapter Guide - Select the Right Converter and Adapter

When we visited France early this year, my travel iron and hair dryer wouldn’t work there. I was looking for converters and transformers to make my appliances compatible with the voltage in France. With a lot of choices available in the market, choosing the ideal transformer and converter wasn’t a breeze.

The plug adapter and voltage transformer buying guide from LiteFuzeVoltageConverters.com helped me pick the right one; else I would have gone around in wrinkled clothes and with frizzy hair. I would recommend that you go through this online voltage converter and travel adapter guide when you plan a tour, be it a business trip or a vacation with your family. If you cannot understand the nitty-gritty of selecting the right kind of unit, a voltage converter guide can surely help you. You shouldn’t step out without a voltage converter, especially if your electronics are non dual-voltage appliances.

There are few appliances like shaver, battery charger, portable DVD players that do not require much power, so it is enough if you get small size travel converters with power up to 200 Watts. For heat producing appliances like irons and hair dryers, 1600-Watt converters would be ideal.

You may have a few electronic appliances that are dual-voltage, so you wouldn’t require a converter or a transformer for these devices. Most laptops, camera chargers, travel irons, shavers, and iPods support both 110 and 220 V. But, you’ll need a correct plug adapter depending on the country you are traveling to. A power socket guide can help you choose the right adapter from the range of units available for different countries. You can invest in an international plug adaptor that can be used in most nations.

We all love travel, and we also know life is not easy without our select electronic appliances. Equip yourself with essential units like converters, transformers, and travel plug adapters from LiteFuzeVoltageConverters.com to make your trip hassle free.

Alarmed about Home Security?

We are not paranoid, but we do pay attention to what’s going on in our neighborhoods these days. Crime, especially against homeowners, is rising every year. Protecting your property, not to mention ourselves, is becoming more important than ever before. No, we don’t want to live in fear, nor do we want that for you. But it’s ideal to be smart when it comes to our security. It should come as no surprise that QwikBids is concerned about these trends, and the fine citizens of our community. Yep, it’s time to talk about alarm systems.

There are many things to consider when choosing an alarm system, and since there are a variety of these systems to choose from, seeking the advice of an alarm professional is paramount. As crafty as burglars are today, a consultation will increase your ability to stay one step ahead. There are so many considerations that it’s easy to overlook the one that will create a weakness for would-be thieves to take advantage of.

For instance, if you’re considering a system with motion detectors and have pets, that type probably wouldn’t be the wisest choice. Consideration made to the household’s lifestyle is important to determine the type of system and features needed to be effective.  Also, there are alarms with additional upgrades such as fire, radon, and carbon monoxide protection. Some even come with cameras, depending on the budget you have for the project. Installing an alarm may also save you on your homeowners insurance as well. There are projects such as this that pay for themselves!

Again, QwikBids suggests seeking a professional consultation, and you can start by placing a bid for it on our site. They are licensed, insured, references verified, and dedicated to quality customer care. No need to be alarmed any longer!

Buying The Right Digital Camera Can Be Confusing

Digital photography is a booming business and is slowly going to take over the film camera market. Compact digital cameras are the most popular and common of the camera types. To get a better quality picture you need to increase the number of pixels, so the cameras with more mega pixels will have a sharper image. Underwater digital cameras are small and lightweight, and the quality is comparable to film if you go for the higher resolution shots. Digital pictures have improved dramatically, and are now incredibly clear. The main problem that most have is that after the picture is taken many people don't develop the pictures or don't have a a way to do it.

How exactly does it differ from the traditional camera? Up to the point when the image is captured, the process is the same in both. When you release the shutter the mirror moves out of the way and the image is captured in the same way as any digital camera. Zooming in on a subject works by cropping some of the image out of the picture. The thing to remember is the higher the resolution, the more realistic the image is, matching closest what the actual image is. The image is then enlarged to fill the camera frame, by doing this you will loose the quality of the photograph. If an image is too bright or too dark you can re-take the image.

Digital cameras are not that expensive today a 2 mega pixel camera can be had for less than $50. Also important to note is the memory capacity of the camera. In other words, how many pictures will the camera hold? Understanding a little bit about how pictures are recorded on a digital camera and then subsequently saved on a computer is critical but fairly simple even for a beginner. The key to getting the best possible digital pictures is to make sure the right camera is bought. Digital cameras are becoming more and more popular. Whether your pictures are good or bad it does not matter, with a digital camera you have full control.

In burst mode the camera shoots a fast series of photos for as long as the shutter button is held down or until the camera's memory is full. In this mode the camera writes the photos to a temporary memory which is very fast but small. When the shutter button is released or the memory is full the camera starts the slow process of writing the photos to the flash memory. Memory is also a very important issue to consider.

In terms of features it may not have any more than a simple point and shoot model. Picture quality is normally an improvement from the more basic cameras. The price of a digital camera printer is lowering whilst the quality is increasing. As far as image quality is concerned, there are a couple factors - picture resolution, presence of noise in the camera, dynamic range, and the color quality of the image. Depending on the camera purchased and the accuracy of the settings, the quality can rival and sometimes even surpass a regular 35mm camera.

Basically, a mega pixel is capable of storing a million bits of information about a photo. Because the digital SLR cameras are more professional, they come with a hefty price tag.

Satisfaction Guaranteed: Purchasing a Video Camera

Finding the right video camera requires a few simple steps. Start by researching the various products available in the marketplace.

If you're unfamiliar with video cameras, doing your homework now can better ensure you'll be satisfied with your final purchase. Many consumers are use to particular brand names, and the quality and features associated with each. If this is your first video camera, you may want to take the plunge and purchase a truly top-of-the-line model, or just get your big toe wet with a less expensive unit. The challenge is in selling yourself that the extra cost, whatever it may be, will be able to generate the results you need to make it all worthwhile.

This research process can be used when making any type of photo purchase. First set the price range. How much are you willing to spend? Determine if you're looking for an amateur or a professional grade camera. Even if you're an amateur, sometimes the pro shops can offer some surprisingly accessible products. Regardless, it's helpful to go to a major photo and video supplier's Web site to check out what's available.

There's one more step to be taken. Locate other folks who had already made purchases and shared their thoughts. User expectation is a big factor in a consumer's experience. For instance, one person may make a negative comment about a feature. However, that feature is irrelevant to your need for that product. Read the good comments and the bad. Then shift through the details for what really matters to you.

Camcorders on Magnik.com offers a wide range of professional brand names and large selection. Additionally, it features feedback from users.

With the products, prices and amateur reviews in hand, take a look at professional reviews - the folks who earn a living as a photographers. The Web site www.camcorderinfo.com is a good resource.

Before, after or as you read consumer reviews, make a list of all the realistic scenarios as to how you plan to use the video camera. Will you use it in low light conditions? Do you care about audio? Does it need to be compact and portable? Will you need to carry it a distance? Will you be able to react to impromptu situations? Does it have a million accessories and how much do they cost? How long does the battery last? Is it complicated to download the contents? How much data can be held on the storage device? Will you need a tripod?

The next thing, to ask yourself is "What are you willing to sacrifice to get the majority of what you want in the price range you desire?" There is no single perfect camera (in an affordable price range of most consumers). Remember that old expression, "you can't be all things to all people." It's called an average camera.

There's a professional photographer who wanted to move into video. His choice for this first-time buy was a JVC video camera. It's a lower end price range professional video camera ($2,000-ish). JVC has a reputation for making some great DVD/CD and stereo equipment leading one to believe that all their products should offer similar performance. The runner up was a highly rated, semi-amateur/professional Sony camera in a mid-range price ($1,200-$1,300). Then there was the highly-rated Panasonic for $900. It was reported that the results for this camera in low light conditions were poor and grainy. All things considered it was still a good camera. Like all video cameras, the built-in audio is considered sub-par. If you plan to digitally add sound that should not be an issue.

So ultimately what was the professional photographer's choice? The photographer opted for the Sony.

Buying cheaper is not always the best option. Being happy with the equipment and using it rather than having it sit in the box makes all the difference.

Home Surveillance Systems The Best Investment You Can Make For Your Family

Your home is your castle. It should be the one place in the world where you and your family feel the safest. Unfortunately, in todays society it is all too common to have this safety compromised. A home surveillance system can help you restore a feeling of security, while offering a high level of added protection. Best of all, just about any homeowner can install these systems on their own with little effort.

There are many reasons to consider investing in a home surveillance system. These systems offer piece of mind when you are away from home, offer parents extra comfort, and provide an extra layer of protection against criminal behavior. Many people find these surveillance systems useful for monitoring nannies and contractors working in their home, or even for just keeping tabs on what is going on while they are away on vacation or business.

Home surveillance systems come in a variety of choices, levels of technology, and price ranges. Some of the most common options include: Wired or wireless DVR systems, hidden cameras, and monitoring software. To help you decide what is best for your family, lets take a look at these options.

Wired or Wireless DVR Systems

These DVR systems work very well for both large and small areas. Offering digitally recorded video and web based monitoring; these systems offer access from virtually anywhere in the world thanks to the GeoVision DVR card included.

Video can be viewed and recorded in both day light and during the night, as well as in multiple areas. DVR systems come in four channel, eight channel, and sixteen channel versions.

Hidden Cameras

Hidden cameras are a great, reasonably inexpensive option that can provide a good amount of security. Sometimes referred to as nanny cams, these cameras are small, easy to install and use, and go completely undetected as they resemble everyday items. These small cameras offer full color video, and can be easily viewed by using an SD card reader. Hidden cameras offer piece of mind as they can be used to catch cases of abuse, infidelity, even theft. While they may look small and simple, these cameras offer high quality lenses that can film in outdoor and low light conditions, rechargeable battery packs, and 2.4GHz transmitters for long distance signal transmission.

Monitoring Software

Quite possibly one of the best surveillance tools you can invest in (and one of the least expensive), monitoring software, especially the VISEC home and business surveillance software package, turns any computer into a global video surveillance system in just minutes. This software allows you to keep an eye on your home, office, even your car! You can view your surveillance area from anywhere in the world via the internet by using your personal IP address. You can even view archived video in addition to current activity. The software can be set to operate secretly, to record all activity taking place, or just turn on when motion is detected.

The Dish Network Receiver Guide

DISH Network receivers have come a long way since the days when all they did was change your satellite TV channels. Now they can pause and replay live TV, record your favorite programs, and transmit your shows in HD (high definition). Here's a guide to the various DISH Network receivers and what they can do.

DISH Network Standard Receivers

In addition to changing your channels, DISH Network's entry level receiver has an on-screen program guide so you can see what's on satellite TV. It also has an interactive TV feature that gives you access to breaking news reports, sports, weather, games, and DISH Network customer service. And it includes parental control locks so you can restrict the TV programs your children watch,

Standard receivers are free when you order DIRECTV satellite TV programming.

DISH Network HD Receivers

HD receivers have all the features of the standard receivers plus you can watch your programs in high def for the clearest, most lifelike picture available, and listen to your shows in digital audio for theater-like sound.

HD receivers are free when you order DIRECTV satellite TV programming. You must have an HD TV to view HD programs.

DISH Network DVR Receivers

DVR receivers have all the features of the standard receivers, plus you can pause and replay live TV. You can also store up to 350 hours of your favorite shows on your DVR's hard drive, and you can record two shows simultaneously while watching a recorded program

HD DVR receivers let you record your shows in high def for a lifelike picture and theater-quality sound.

DVR and HD DVR receivers are free when you order DIRECTV satellite TV programming. However, you must purchase DVR service in order to record satellite TV programs.

Bottom Line

If you don't have an HD TV and you don't want to record satellite TV programs, then the standard receiver is all you need. If you want the highest picture quality available and you have an HD TV, then you'll need the HD receiver.

If you want to record your favorite shows, plus the have ability to pause live TV to answer your phone or get a snack, then resume watching it when you're ready, you'll want a DVR receiver.
