Nortonics

If ya really feel the need to incorporate virus protection here's my view from literally decades of experience: In the Corporate world there is really only one antivirus package worth a darn, and that's Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (Corporate client) in the 10.x versions for instance. Very Low overhead on the machine it's running on - undisputed complete virus protection that auto upgrades practically on a daily basis. Real-time scanning is easily turned off & on and if chosen will also scan Outlook/Exchange in real time too. Ain't cheap but there's a reason for that - it works, and it's what all other antivirus software manufacturers only wish they could produce. Don't even think of the Symantec/Norton versions made for the home user or McAfee Antivirus as these are all huge resource hogs, not to mention they often install so much garbage alongside the actual antivirus software that unusual operation of the system afterwards is a common occurance - not good. Now realize this is antivirus protection only. This software does not really protect against spyware, root kits, and other forms of infections.

Nice video setup. Wow - you got pretty close to 'em there. If I were you they would have never got away from that scene without injuries, guaranteed. I'll reserve my tactics to the self defense forums though...

Would a polarization filter help with the pool water glare?

You mean I can actually call that number and speak to a person? No way! Actually, that's solid advice - thanks. Sometimes I get so caught up on believing that anything like that would more likely be available on the Internet, and if not here, probably nowhere. Incidentally, I did determine that this camera is in fact coming with the CD after-all, but thanks much for the kick to the brain...

Hey folks, question about this camera - Panasonic WV-NM100: Just bought a used one that is coming without the original OEM software CD. I see this camera is able to stream in either JPEG and/or MPEG-4, but in order to use it in the MPEG-4 mode a plug-in from the original CD that accompanied the camera is needed. I need a copy of that plug-in, or a copy of the whole CD - can any of you folks help me out? P.S. - I can receive large e-mails with attachments, or I can supply a intermediate FTP site as well...

Seems to me it would be quite easy to jam a low power 2.4 gig wireless transmission - both wireless video links as well as wireless network links. Looks like some stuff is even available out there to help: http://www.globalgadgetuk.com/wireless.htm Heck, being in Ham Radio myself, I could easily muster up a multi-watt 2.4 gig transmitter driving a tiny beam antenna which would likely guarantee swamping any 2.4 gig receiver front end for sure. Could also just drive it into a high-gain omnidirectional antenna (again, tiny size at these frequencies) and just about blow any chances of any 2.4 gig activity within a block or so without too much problem. I'd be willing to bet there's all sorts of ways to destroy a wireless video signal from getting to the receiver of most any wireless security camera system, at least gear running the oh so common 2.4 gig frequency range. Seems to me that this is a severely simple limitation to inject into a product (security system) that should attempt to be bullet proof. Comments? Ideas? Personal experiences?
