Web cam to cctv dvr?

Recommended Posts

I am a Newbie and have a Q.

Can a Web cam that tracks faces be used on my CCTV system as a door cam?

 

I like the face tracking option and its a 1.3 megapixel cam for 80 bucks. The face tracking feature should spook most criminals who are casing a joint for invasion. I want them to see the cam tracking them.

Thx folks.

Interesting.... Is it a Static Cam or does it actually move ?

 

Put a link in your message so we can have a look at your Gadget.

 

If it has a Video Output then it can be wired into a DVR !

 

 

P.S Sounds like a Swann special (scorpians favorite manufacturer)

Hello!

 

I would like this wireless camera that you have in the glass case. I am trying to watch who is stealing my mail from my mailbox.

 

You mean I can't get a video of the guy's face?

 

What do you mean that I have to change a 9 volt battery everyday???

 

Well then it will watch my car at night then.

 

NO??

 

Why not?

 

What is IR?

 

Oh Kay! I will take the wireless outdoor IR cam.

 

Oh?

 

I only have $50.00!

 

I need a vcr too? Well Ya! I do want to record.

 

Yikes! You mean I have to buy 7 tapes, one for each day, and I need 3 tapes a day for 24 hour recording?

 

I feel dizzy

I would like to see this tech used at a pos (point of sale).

 

The software puts a circle around an item that has not been rung up, and tracks the item such as "under the cart theft" ect!

 

How about a circle on the guy/girl who is walking the wrong way such as at an airport, or a theme park where travel paths are directional.

 

I know they have this tech, but in a cheaper software version.

Hey, a 9v Battery Camera, I think I can sell this to protect our airports and military installations on a maintance contract and make my fortune.

 

I will be the next Bill Gates

 

I think we should go back to Betamax tapes but hey instead of one tape a day set the VCR to 400 hours timelapse and call it Video Analytics

 

Is this what Sunday's does to us Guy's !

I got my answer and a lot of friendly chiding.. Ok, I'll be the goat, but, WHAT ARE TAPES??

 

 

I do have a nice professional installed system, well planned and records to a offsite dvr. I like it.

 

One thing though, my vandal armored unit on my barn took only one shotgun blast and that was it. Seems a 10 year old farm boy was just out hunting cameras. Police report reads- no investigation warranted.

 

Thanks guys

Davis
