Back when I used to work at a Burger King in the Bronx, New York, a fight occurred between two customers and two managers. If I wasn’t in such shock, I would’ve recorded the fight myself. Luckily we had the surveillance cameras in the lobby, and it was a pretty nice fight. I was wondering, since I WAS a witness, is there someway I can grab hold of a copy of the video? There’s nothing wrong with a good ol’ laugh, I say. Please help if you can.

‘Tis the season for eating, shopping and being merry, but unfortunately some people aren’t always filled with holiday cheer. Car break-ins and thefts always tend to increase during the holiday shopping season.

What do you do to keep yourself safe during holiday shopping season?

ADT distributed a press release with some tips:

•Park in a well-lit area as close to your destination as possible. Parking lots and structures are typically the most dangerous places at the mall. If you are shopping alone and feel uncomfortable walking to your car at night, ask mall security officers for an escort. Consider valet parking during the holiday season when many malls offer free or reduced price valet parking. Look for security cameras and try to park near them. Also, opt for walkways leading to malls and parking lots that have security cameras installed.

•Choose to do your holiday shopping at malls that take security seriously. Shopping destinations with regular mall security patrols and visible surveillance cameras provide an added layer of security and a deterrent to criminals.

•Take extra care when returning to your car. If you notice anyone suspicious in the parking area you can use your keys as a weapon. If needed, you can also use your car’s alarm system by pushing the panic button on your alarm remote control or car horn to draw attention.

I\’m trying to find a camera like the EVI-D100 but smaller. Key features being its 10x optical zoom, physical remote control, S-video capture (Although firewire and USB are fine as well,) and PTZ. It\’s way too bulky for what I need it for but alas no matter how much I search I find expensive, bulky surveillance cameras.

I have tried hooking up my camcorder via Firewire, however the capture area is about two thirds of the size of my Logitech 9000 and this is unacceptable even if I set it up to PTZ because we’ll be using it to capture things between 3 and 10 feet away.

Do you have any suggestions?

I’d highly prefer to keep the price under 200usd, but can go up to 500 if I must.

Oh and it only needs 320×240, so finding one cheap shouldn’t be hard but I can’t seam to discover one.

I’m evaluating several daycares for my son and the one that I really like told me that they don’t archive the video footage that they take from their surveillance cameras. I think that it’s great that they provide a way for me to check in on my son when I’m at work, but I’m worried that if something were to happen I wouldn’t be able get a ‘copy’ of the incident.

Are daycares required by law to keep archive footage from their cameras?

I know some of you may jump on me for my concerns relating to privacy and goverment surveillance cameras on street poles and in city buses. I was wondering who monitors these cameras and are these cameras recording the activities of people.
I don’t have a problem with highway cameras because it’s not really a problem. One car is the same as the next. But when I’m on a city bus I think I have a right to know who’s watching us.
