Hi, I want to buy a security camera system (indoor) with about 4-8 cameras. This will be installed in my office, however I want all of the video uploaded on a hard drive at home (is that possible). My criteria is listed below…

4-8 Cameras
Wired or Wireless, doesn’t make a huge difference.
Secure remote viewing over the web
Two hard drives, one at my office downloading the video and another at my house downloading the video over the web.

Thanks

I’ve had Microsoft Security Essentials for about a week now and i’m a little suspicious that the other day a Web page downloaded a Trojan Horse. Will it remove anything that could seriously threaten my computer.:P

I already have a home security system and pay for a service. I would like to purchase some more sensors, etc. to make it a more robust system, but I don’t want to pay the service to come out and do it; as they cost a ton.

If so, do you know a place where I could purchase components?

Our landlords want us to keep their security alarm system activated but to do so we have to connect a home phone which will cost us money. Can they make us do that?

Can I use non-network surveillance cameras and somehow display and record the videos on a computer? Is there a way it can connect to a network? Also, the wires used to connect the cameras to the tv look like phone cables, only a bit larger, but not as large as ethernet cables. Any ideas?

I wanted to make a raid3 to put my operating system and frequently used programs and games for speed and reliability and protection from data losses… I was wondering if I can have a raid and also have some more single hds not in raid for storage on the same computer…
Or… maybe have raid 3 for the OS and raid 1 for storage… sooo now I’m asking if I can have 2 different raid in the same computer
Also like your opinion on what raid will be best for operating system and high end gaming /applications and speed?
And what raid will be ideal for storage and protection from data loss?

Is this possible? Or another ways to set off car alarms (without brute force or noises) perhaps with two way radio?

Playing with the online ordering at AT&T. Looks like you have to pay minimum .95 per month for calling plan. Pus .00 minimum for 200mb of data. I just want it as backup internet access!
I wouldn’t come close to using even 100mb for calling!

Currently I’m using cc cleaner, spy bot, adaware, malwarebytes, spywareblaster and an systemantic(spelling) anti virus. What else can I get I recently got that security suite virus and I wondering do i need more protection.

I appreciate that there have already been a raft of related questions regarding this but i don’t feel my particular question has been covered. However apologies in advance.

Tank cycling : I set up a new cold freshwater aquarium about 6 weeks ago now and have made every effort to do things correctly, researching as much as I can beforehand and during the set-up (even though it can be difficult with so much conflicting advise!)

I have a 90ltr Nano with a built in back filter box which I have a selection of filtration media, pump sucking in water and a powerhead pumping it back out.

I let the tank cycle for around 2 weeks and to be honest with a little impatience added one 1.5 inch fancy goldfish even though I knew the water quality test results we a less than desirable, however they weren’t so bad as to cause too much alarm. One week later I added two Blackmoors and a week after that another small fancy goldfish.

I have been monitoring regularly and have been doing 25-30% water changes every week (I add Nutrafin AquaPlus and Nutrafin Cycle each time and will actually be switching to RO water this week). Sometimes with one or even two 10% water changes in between. However, the results I have been recording have not been in tune with what I believe to be the ‘typical’ cycling levels.

PH has been steady at circa 8.2 (is this a little high?). Nitrate recently spiked at about 1ppm but has now gone back to 0ppm. Nitrate, after been 0ppm for the first two weeks gradually moved through 10ppm to 20ppm and has remained there. Ammonia is the real issue. Since day one until now it’s been at 4ppm (sometimes verging on 8ppm) irrespective of anything I do. This profile just makes no sense! :-(

i can’t believe that a 30% water change would not show any change in ammonia readings.

I even added a second filter/pump (Fluval U1) inside the tank to bolster up the main filter (not a bio-filter).

Please help! Am I wrong in my thinking? It’s been 6 weeks now and the tank just doesn’t seem to be cycling? Am I just being too impatient?

Importantly all four fish seem to be very happy in their environment thus far - especially playing with the air stone and swimming (purposely!) into the powerhead flow stream :-) They are fed small pinches of flakes twice daily and they clear the lot within 2 minutes. No food waste is left in the tank that obvious to see.

Many thanks in advance
Thanks for the responses peeps but I’m not sure I agree with a couple of things and just wanted to clarify some more.

The Nano tank doesn’t have a built in filter as such. It’s just a segregated section of the tank which allows you to add your own filtration media. A pump sucks water from the tank and pushes it out of a flute at the top onto the first media, then down into the next and the next etc then finally pushed back out into the tank via another pump/powerhead. I have 3 layers of synthetic wool (diff. grades), then two bags of ceramic tubes then activated carbon gravel and dead rock at the bottom. So I wouldn’t consider this to be a poor built-in filter if you know what I mean (I may still be wrong!). As for number of fish, I am just following a typically given rule of 1 inch per gallon. I have circa 5 inches of fish in a circa 23 US (20UK) gallon tank so am not sure why my four fish is too many?? I can pretty much agree with all other :-) Thanks for the RO water advice!

would this be a good buy for college and to play wow and combat arms on?

In all paces it appears (if it’s not named).
2) what online free service for storage/backup data would you recommned?

I have read articles on how to get rid of the fake antivirus Security Suite, but I can’t run anything on it to do so. I can’t open Internet or firefox, even in safe mode with networking. Also, when I even try to START doing something on it, it will shut down not allowing me to do ANYTHING. Is there anything I can do to be able to use my computer again?

I am looking into setting up an alarm…..I have three doors and Three windows that would need monitored. But I want to make sure I go with a company that is good….. Any feed back on this would be helpful

my car was in a little accident recently with a stop sign and since then its alarm has been going off non-stop. i have a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. Is there a way it can get fixed do-it-yourself style?

I have been put in charge of setting up a way to record audio in the lobby of a pain clinic. There will be a sign, letting people know that their conversations are being recorded. There are times where patients become very hard to deal with when they aren’t prescribed what they want. Especially seekers! We currently have a Sentinel-1 video surveillance system which does NOT support any kind of sound. Looking to do this on a budget, but not miss out on important conversation.
