Cheap Surveillance Cameras For Your Home Security

CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) is now affordable for everyone and not only meant for businesses and well-off individuals. Technology has improved and costs have come down so the ordinary person can purchase security cameras for the home.

In real world terms 600 to 800 dollars will buy you a decent spec DVR (Digital Video Recorder) to record video images and around 4 security cameras which could be mounted internally or externally using infrared.

When embarking on a project to install CCTV you need to decide how many cameras you need. Do you want the cameras to be external or internal and do you require the ability to be able to record in the dark? If so, an infrared camera will be needed. However, most external cameras come with infrared capability as standard. There are many cheap security camera starter kits available bundled with 2, 4 or 6 cameras and a DVR in the package too.

When choosing a DVR go for a uncomplicated, simple device as this will keep the cost down. A straightforward 80GB hard drive model would be fine for most home security applications. This will offer around 7 days of continuous image capture recording but is dependant on the resolution and quality of picture that is selected. Check out the additional options as some allow backup onto CD burner, USB ports or a network link into your PC.

There are DVR devices that have a built in CD burner – but this will come at additional cost. But in reality, the home user wouldn’t need to look over several months of video recording so they would generally configure their DVR to record on a continuous 7 to 30 day loop. A continuous loop is when the hard disk is full to capacity it will start to overwrite the oldest video recording. Unless you want to keep every single minute of all of your recordings this is the easiest and simplest approach.

Be sure when you are spec’ing your CCTV system that you purchase suitable required lengths of cabling to connect the cameras (unless of course you opt for wireless security cameras). Be sure that all cameras come with the necessary power adaptors and suitable wall mounting kits.

Finally choose a DVR that ha a VGA output connector. This is so the video output can be viewed through a regular PC monitor – which can be sourced inexpensively these days.

resale value of Wii console?

if I were to buy the bundle Wii console, Wii 1GB Secure Digital card, 12-month replacement plan, Game Informer subscription, and six games, including Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Madden NFL 2007, and Marvel Ultimate for $700, how much do you think the resale value would be?
I am basically asking, is there a chance I could turn a profit? Much like when the XBox 360 came out, people would buy it for 400 and then turn around and sell it on ebay for upwards of a grand.

I have been following the wii launch closely since its announcement at E3 2005. Due to Nintendo's claims that 4 million launch consoles will be available worldwide by the end of the calendar year, with the majority of the consoles being sold stateside, the demand will not be nearly as high as it was with the 360 and for sure the PS3. Within the first few weeks of launch, i would think you could definately turn a profit (if the person buying would want all games and accessories in the bundle - the full game selection is a bit too varied for my taste), but the margin will be quite small. After looking at the number of wiis different targets around the country are receiving (some stores will be getting launch shipments upwards of 60 units and the majority more than 30), my honest opinion is that if someone wants to pay retail for the game, they will be able to find a store (target, wal-mart, gamestop, etc...) that will be selling the console, granted that it may take a bit more searching than usual. I personally wouldnt pay more than 300 for the console itself and maybe MAYBE 775 for that bundle. If you want to turn a profit, go with the PS3. Only 400,000 consoles at launch compared to 1 million for Wii in North America on Launch day.
