Sometimes people use video surveillance cameras for things other than security. M&J Video recently installed 4 cameras in a beautiful home on the beach in Santa Barbara. 3 of the cameras are infrared bullet cameras that are used to watch the front door, driveway and back deck. The 4th is a Pan/Tilt/ Zoom (P/T/Z) camera that can be controlled inside the house with a joystick. The family uses the P/T/Z to watch their kid play and surf in the ocean and also watch wildlife around the home. Since the P/T/Z has a 32X zoom lens they can record whales as far as a quarter mile away, birds in flight and seals on a reef. They record everything in real time at 60 frames per second, per camera on a digital video recorder. All the video is saved to a hard drive built into the DVR. Because the video is saved for over a month they can than choose whatever they want to download to a disk or thumb drive. This familiy is having a great time with their video surveillance camera system. M&J Video also installs Video Surveillance Camera Systems in other areas around Santa Barbara such as Carpinteria, Goleta and Buellton.
