Will having wifi at home affect my health negatively?

I have wifi wireless Internet at home, but I'm worried that it will affect my health. I've heard it gives out rays and can cause cancer. Is this safe?

there are much more harmful things, the range of a wireless network is around 20-30 metres realistically, your mobile phone is much more powerful.

in essence turn off the router/wireless when you dont need to use it, also goes for your mobile phone as well

Security Camera Mysteries: What Is Horizontal Definition?

Video surveillance systems used as devices to ensure the security of a home or a business come with a variety of capabilities and functions.

Security cameras within the system also have a number of capabilities, and some are "sharper-eyed" than others.

One of the capabilities a prospective purchaser can look at to determine how clearly the camera can "see" is to look at its horizontal definition.

This capability, which has to do with the quality of the picture display, is usually expressed as a certain number of lines of horizontal definition.

The higher the number of lines, the greater the definition or clarity and sharpness of the picture that the camera can create when it "sees" the image, takes the light in through its lens and then sends an electrical signal to the monitor or other device to be decoded and then rendered as an image.

Think of it like this; a camera is looking at something going on outside in the yard and captures that image.

Let's say that it is capable of rendering 380 horizontal TV lines of horizontal definition ("TV lines" is the standard, along with the number of lines...in this case, 380 of them).

In comparison to a camera which is able to display 320 TV lines of horizontal definition the security camera able to put up 380 lines will feature a picture a bit sharper and clearer.

Today, the typical quality wireless security camera features between 380 and 420 TV lines of horizontal definition. One also sees this standard of the ability of a camera to see clearly and with precision in most mini cameras intended for use in a security setting.

Additionally, many surveillance pinhole cameras (these units are very small) will advertise the number of the lines of horizontal definition as a way to assure a person considering getting one that they're able to see very clearly.

Normally, a picture from a camera of at least 320 TV lines of horizontal definition can create images sufficiently sharp to show more than enough detail.

It will be well-defined and with no evidence of shadows where they don't belong or of any blurriness. Any wireless system should be able to meet this standard before it should be seriously considered by a purchaser.

Anybody who's thinking of purchasing a security system needs to consider a number of factors when it comes to the ability of the system to work well in almost all environmental conditions, including low (or no) light, for one.

They should be able to create a signal strength (which also affects the quality of the picture being displayed) sufficient to ensure captured imagery makes it to the monitor or recorder system in good order.

Nowadays, a great many people are considering some form of video surveillance system in order to bring additional security to a home or business.

There are several different kinds of systems, though, so take the time to learn a bit about them and how they manage their video surveillance duties before deciding on selecting any single one.

Home Security with a CCTV Monitoring System

If you've given any thought to home security you've probably considered a closed circuit television monitoring system (better known as CCTV.)

What you'll have with your CCTV system is at least one surveillance camera, a variety of lenses (pan, zoom and infrared for night vision) to focus on particular areas of your grounds and home, and a VCR (video cassette recorder) that will make a permanent record of what the camera is seeing.

If you should decide you want to provide CCTV security in your home you'll need to do at least one slow walk around your home, making notes as you go, about where you need surveillance, and what areas are the most vulnerable, and in need of protection. While you certainly want to focus on your house - the place where your family's safety is the primary concern - don't neglect to include garage, breezeway, in-law quarters, front and back yard, driveway, alleyway, or any outside fence or gate entrance.

You may want more than one camera in your home. This could be important if your home is large, for instance, and you're regularly in one section of the home while a babysitter watches your children, or a housekeeper performs his or her duties. With the prevalence of home offices this may be especially important, if you're in your office all day with the door shut. Having a separate camera watching that home office may also reduce your insurance bill as well.

Once you've determined what areas on which you need to focus you'll have to measure the areas. The range of area needing monitoring is important to the size of camera or cameras you purchase.

While you can choose five sizes of camera - ranging in size from one quarter to two thirds of an inch, the wisest choices are to go no larger than one half an inch. With a camera one half inch or smaller you'll have a more extensive choice of lenses that will work with it.

There are four different versions of CCTV camera lenses from which you can choose. They are fixed aperture, manual or auto iris and zoom. An auto iris lens is ideal for outside viewing, as it adjusts itself to accommodate changes in lighting. In places where the amount of lighting stays fairly stagnant a manual iris will do. This type of lens requires that you actually make the lighting adjustments by hand. Zoom lenses, just as with any camera, allow you to bring a viewed situation closer to your eye for improved visibility. Some zoom lenses offer a motorized option.

Once you know the number of cameras you're going to need you'll know whether you're going to have to have more than one monitor or whether you can make do with a switcher (one monitor, alternating location views) or a multi-plexer (several locations showing in boxes on one monitor at the same time).

Decide how long you are going to need to record prior to being able to remove and replace the VCR film. If the time you're going to be absent from the home, i.e., unable to remove and replace the VCR tape, is going to exceed 4-6 hours (depending on the VCR) you may not be able to use your household VCR. You may need to upgrade to a commercial quality recorder.

Fake Security Cameras! - Do They Provide The Due Security?

You hear about it all the time - people bragging about the fake security camera that saved a bundle as does the work of a good home security system. Well, think again. The myth of fake security cameras should be shattered once and for all.

The truth is that cameras do not prevent crime. The fear of getting caught prevents crime. Security cameras are useful to identify and catch criminals, not to frighten them away. A fake security camera provides nothing but a false sense of security. It certainly can't help law enforcement arrest and prosecute someone one's who's violated your privacy, property, and possessions!

A good home security system that uses cameras uses HIDDEN cameras that can't be tampered with or blocked. Fake security cameras are easy to identify because they're out in the open. The bottom line: fake security cameras are a waste of good money.

In fact, most would-be criminals don't care about security cameras. They know it's easy to change identifying clothing or use masks. They know not to look at the security camera and to hide their face from easy view. They also know about the significant time gap between the crime and the response. They'll have time to get away and change clothes before the police show up. So cameras, whether real or fake, are not the important assets for a security system. Fake cameras are about as good as a stand-up picture of a cop!

If you've been thinking about using fake cameras to help protect your home or business, it's time to revise your plan. Functional cameras are inexpensive and easy to install. Connecting them to a video monitor and VCR to record crimes when they happen is the best way to assure the criminal gets caught. Especially when you consider that a fake security camera is a waste of money in the first place, it's well worth the expense to set up a real security system with real security cameras.

There is one situation in which a fake camera may influence or deter crime - crimes of opportunity like shop-lifting. These impromptu crimes are usually committed by inexperienced wanna' be thieves. They don't understand the way security systems work, and the believe a camera is a sure way to get caught and end in jail. So, a fake security camera may prevent petty crimes. But is it worth the risk?

Our advice is to truly protect your person and property by using reliable common-sense security measures and real security systems for your home or business. Fake security cameras may sound like a good idea, but criminals know better. The false security of a fake security camera is very false. It may make you overly-confident and open your home or business to tragedy.

No matter how realistic or expensive a fake security looks, it is still a fake camera. The truth is, you get what you pay for. If you think you can save a bundle by using a fake security camera, you're likely to lose a bundle when you get robbed. It won't deter anyone but the bothersome petty thief, it won't help catch or prosecute real criminals, and it most certainly won't substitute for a real business or home security system.

Online Voting Security Takes a Quantum Leap

According to a recent article By Roland Pease of the BBC Radio Science Unit, “perfect secrecy has come a step closer with the launch of the world's first computer network protected by unbreakable quantum encryption”.

The article, published on the BBC News website on 9 October 2008, talks about quantum cryptography and how it differs from the mathematically-based security systems used on today’s computer networks which are said to be extremely hard - but not impossible - for outsiders to crack.

Quantum encryption certainly sounds like the next generation of computer security but is it too early to be discounting traditional security measures and considering them sub-standard in comparison?

Ian Haughton, Managing Director of Corporate Mailing Solutions thinks not. Providing transactional mail and election services to a long list of blue chip financial institutions for several years means that Ian has been working at the core of an industry where data security is paramount. He says, “Amongst other things we’ve had to make sure our online voting system – Castavote – is based on absolute data security, otherwise our clients just wouldn’t entertain it. All voting data is secured by 128-bit SSL security certificates on servers that are protected by several of the very best hacker, fraud and malicious code safeguards.”

The Importance of a Home Security Camera

No less than numbers and statistics have shown that robberies are increasing and getting uncontrollable these days. In a report given by the Federal Bureau of Investigation alone, an increase in of eighteen percent in robberies from the years 1999 to 2003 has been recorded.

What is most alarming lately about these numbers is that by 2003, fourteen percent of the crime has taken from the streets and other public areas into more suburban and residential areas. This implies that places which should be kept safest for us and our families are, now not exempted from these robberies.

A Home Security Camera

Home security cameras are one of the most popular gadgets that people can equip their homes with. This is because home security cameras are easy to install. Having home security cameras in your home may not prevent your home from being robbed but it offers a certain level of peace knowing that everything going on in your home and its premises are well recorded. With a home security camera, no one can go in and out of the house unnoticed and no movement goes undetected and unrecorded. Installing a home security camera in full view may also be one way of warding off and discouraging robbers as home security camera recordings can be transmitted to local security receiving stations and monitored by people who can immediately respond to untoward incidents in your home. Furthermore, having security cameras in full sight can also discourage robbers from pursuing the crime as home security camera recordings can now be used in court as evidence of crime.

Installing Your Security Camera

Home security cameras are available in many types and shapes allowing you to install them in the most inconspicuous areas in your home. It also comes in wired or wireless models that are easy to set up or install. The wireless home security camera allows you to set the camera up without the tell-tale signs of the cords and wires running along in every corner. Using a wireless home security camera is discreet as well as hassle-free.

As mentioned, there are those homeowners who purposely set their security cameras up in plain view of people to discourage any robberies and break-ins. There are also others who - for the purpose of discreetly monitoring guests' and house help's actions without offending them - choose to keep their home security cameras hidden.

How Many Do You Need?

The specific number of home security cameras that you need will depend on many factors such as:

- the size of your grounds

- the size of your home

- the number of rooms

- the number of entrances and exits

- how intensively and extensively you want every corner monitored

The number of cameras that you have covering your home should not be your one and only consideration. Your home's and family's security does not stop there. Keep in mind that as many as three home security cameras per room would still be useless if these cameras are not backed up by a solid home security system with people who can monitor and respond appropriately to untoward incidents should the need arise.
