Video Database of Crime

The International Association of Chiefs of Police has begun an ambitious project to compile a nationwide video database of crime. Four cities have been chosen to begin the collection of data: Fort Worth Texas, Everett Washington, Raynham Massachusetts and Cincinnati Ohio.

The database will collect clips of actual crimes in progress and will be used by law enforcement to visually identify suspects, methods of operation, weapons, etc. across multiple times and locations. The actual data will come from both public and private sources including traditional CCTV camera systems, hand held camcorders and even cell phones.

Some day a detective may be able to sit at a computer and search for bank robberies committed any where in the country by a male with a read ball cap or a certain weapon type. Access to this information of course could easily help connect the dots that would in the past take endless man hours of interviews and detective work.

At present there are fewer than 700 recognized forensic video analysts in the country but the International Association of Chiefs of Police and this program hope to change that as the amount of video evidence used in law enforcement continues to grow.

The Law Regarding Audio From A Camera Security System

Recording Audio with the Professional Grade Audio Products sold by CameraSecurityNow.com for use with a Dell based Geovision DVR is quite easy and questions about that topic come up daily.

Unfortunately many people we talk to have one or more misguided opinions as to the law in regards to audio recordings. Some people believe they have no obligation to inform anyone that audio is being recorded and others think they have some state law that takes precedence over the federal law I have attempted to educate them on. Of course both of those beliefs are in error but seldom can you change some one’s mind when they have their own preconceived notions on such topics. To help explain the basics we have listed below a notice as posted on the Louroe Electronics website in regards to Audio Surveillance.

Judging the Worth of a Camera Security System

It has been said that everything has its price. But in the business world does this truly apply to the often intangible benefits of a Camera Security System?

To be fair and balanced we should of course remember that every corporation or government entity is ultimately run by imperfect human beings that must make decisions based on real world financial limitations.

With that in mind, below are some observations from my small town:

This morning I heard on the local news that an elderly pedestrian was hit and killed just four blocks from my home by a police car over the weekend. The police car did not have an in car camera installed. The accident happened in a city where revenue generating Red Light cameras have been installed for years. Several eye witnesses have already disputed the officer’s claim that he had his lights and siren on as he traveled at high speed down the road in response to a call from assistance from a fellow officer. Unfortunately the lack of an in car camera will undoubtedly lead to countless allegations and denials in the wake of this life shattering and life ending tragedy.

Tech-Army.org PX offers High End CCTV DVR Surveillance System for Bars and Nightclubs

Camera Security Now along with Geovision have Partnered with the Tech-Army to offer a High End CCTV Camera Security System tailored specifically for Bars and Nightclubs.

DVR Surveillance System integrates with the POS system to overlay the cash register receipts on the recorded DVR video images. This will allow bar and nightclub owners to capture a view of their employees in the cash register with the actual receipt transaction overlaid on the recorded image.

The DVR Recorder itself is a 480 frames per second DVR system so you can view and record full motion. The cameras are a true Day/Night Camera from Samsung with a quality varifocal autoiris lens. This combination of camera and lens is designed specifically for the low light situations of bars and nightclubs.

If you are a bar or nightclub owner and you are looking for a quality Camera Security System installed and serviced locally, anywhere in the US, Tech-Army.org PX is the place to start.

TV Output from Geovision DVR Server

Currently there are four methods available on having a TV output of your DVR monitoring.

1) If the PC DVR server is equipped with a combo card, there is a single video out (RCA) connection on the card. If your card is designed for 8 channels, all 8 channels will be displayed on the TV. If your card is designed for 16 channels, then all 16 channels will be displayed on the TV. Combo cards consist of the GV-1120, 1240 and 1480. If you wish to show only one channel or change the overall layout of the multiple cameras on display (i.e. channel 1 is large with 3-6 on the side is small) you will need to use the software called Spot Monitoring. Spot Monitoring is only available on the GV 8.01+ software, which means you need to latest GV combo card before you can use this feature.

2) If your using the GV-250, 600, 650, or 800 capture card, then you will need to buy a separate extension card in order to have the TV output feature. The card is called a GV-Loop Through card and can output four channels. Unlike the combo cards, the GV-Loop Through card will only output one channel at a via for each connection. For example, output #1 will only output camera #1, output #3 will only output camera #3. You do not have the option to use the Spot Monitoring software with this card.

3) For those that wish to have the spot monitoring feature, but only have a GV-250, 600, 650, or 800 capture card, there is a new extension card that is available. This card is call the GV-TV Out card, and will give you the display feature options just like that with the Spot Monitoring software. Since this card is fairly new, it will only work the the GV main system 8.01+ software.

4) If you wish to display one channel to multiple TVs, you will need to buy a module called DIS-104. This module will recieve one video signal and distribute it to four separate TVs.

Audio Equipment for Police Interview Rooms

More and more Law Enforcement Facilities are going with Louroe Microphone and Audio products for their Interview Rooms. Louroe has developed a product to work specifically with the new DVR CCTV Surveillance Systems. It is called an Audio Interface Adapter.

The Louroe Model IF-4 and IF-8 Audio Interface Adapters are designed for connecting up eight Louroe microphones to a DVR that has multiple audio inputs. The units contain dual outputs (per microphone) for accommodating either an RCA input or a 3.5mm (mini jack) input connection to a DVR or sound card. In addition, the IF-4 and IF-8 receive wiring from the Louroe microphones, provide phantom power and contain a variable gain adjust per output to prevent the overdriving of signal to a soundcard. All Louroe microphones are compatible with the IF-4 and IF-8.

The Verifact Model L-DT is a desktop microphone that is designed for conducting interviews or similar applications. It contains two electret condenser microphones facing opposite directions that are mounted in a sturdy non-slip ABS plastic housing for adherence to a desktop or flat surface.

What is framerate?

Framerate is how many frames per second (fps) a card can do. Obviously the better the framerate, the smoother the picture will be. Geovision cards have 2 framerates. One is for real-time viewing (Display rate) and the other is for watching playback (Recording Rate). Check out the post for more information.
