Hunting cameras are key to selecting the perfect spot for setting up a perch before hunting season begins. But what happens when a company wants to take their technology in hunting cams, and apply it to home security? The result is the TRACE line of home surveillance cameras from Moultrie. The company brings the same triggered recording technology and sensors to a suburban neighborhood with the TRACE Perimeter and the TRACE Premise. Do the cameras handle their transition from watching deer to watching cars pull in a driveway well? Or would the consumer be better off buying a dedicated, wired system over the individual TRACE cameras?
Tactical Recording and Capture Equipment (TRACE) cameras bring simple installation and use to home security. Rather than having a complex camera system, expensive software, a troublesome DVR, or a dedicated PC, Moultrie brought their simple system of game cameras to the home consumer. The TRACE cameras look just like Moultrie's game cameras, sans the camouflage paint jobs in lieu of a slate grey on the exterior, and in the internals are much the same. Hardly any setup is required other than fixing times, dates, and renaming the cameras to something more fitting to start keeping tabs on your home.
Both the Perimeter and the Premise utilize gray weatherproof casings that snap shut to house the infrared nighttime sensors that boast a less than one second activation time. They shoot video in 720p through their eight megapixel sensors (3840x2160 at the high setting for photos) to SD cards with a capacity of up to 32GB.
The difference between the two TRACE cameras from the standard Moultrie game cameras starts to come in when looking at some of the features between the models. Sacrifices were clearly made internally when looking at the transition from the woods to the streets, since the cameras don't require the range that one might need to see game. For this review, we compared the features of the TRACE Premise to the hunting camera M-880, and the TRACE Perimeter to the Panoramic 150.
When compared to the hunting-oriented models, the home security line shows a reduction in range from 10 to 30 feet. The range can be a situational loss depending on the area the cameras are to cover, but considering usage for security around corners and doorways of homes, the range differential shouldn't be an area of large concern. The loss of range and other features in the hunting cameras, notably the time lapse mode which isn't present in the Perimeter, isn't much of a loss at all.
Because of how the trigger system works, a full feed isn't necessary -- the video that is automatically recorded is all that is ever really needed. Moultrie created a sensitive system that kicks on with the slightest bit of significant movement. By significant we mean that it will easily detect a person walking up to a door or a dog wandering about, but the window blowing some bushes most likely won't trigger an event. Users can also select the duration of the recording time to either stop after a fixed period or once the visuals remain inactive for a certain amount of time.
This concept becomes important because both TRACE cameras are made to run on batteries; AA for the Premise, and C cells for the Perimeter. Since the cameras are building on technology that is meant to be tied to a tree and left there for an undisclosed amount of time, the recording options make sure to make the most of what is available. Moultrie states that the Premise should be able to reach 16,000 photos taken, while the Perimeter will peak at 9,000. During the month of testing, each camera was able to fill a 16GB SD Card with HD video with little impact on battery life.
Some buyers might be deterred by the fact that, compared to dedicated home security cams, the TRACE models offer less storage space, depend on batteries, and are themselves able to be stolen if discovered by thieves. Most home security cameras are meant to be always on, capturing footage continuously to a self-contained or remote storage drive that is also powered continuously. The other side to that debate is that if power was cut to a residence, the cameras will still operate. Moultrie does offer a power adapter, but it isn't included with the camera. In our experience, both cameras were run for a month without an problem with the set of fresh batteries.
Storage space isn't as much of a concern since the TRACE cameras don't simply stop recording once the SD cards fill up. Instead, they feature "Managed Memory," which causes the recording to "roll over" as the card approaches full and start overwriting the oldest files on the card. In most case,s this won't be a problem -- since the data won't be needed unless the camera recorded something important. For people reviewing footage, it is up to the camera when data is erased forever. SD cards do have their problems though, as we discovered when trying to pull a day's worth of video from the Premise that was completely corrupted. Both cameras are compatible with Wi-Fi SD cards, though one wasn't available for testing.

Security takes Woody's toy gun -
February 12, 2014 by
Mr HomeBuilder
Dont mess around with airport security when it comes to guns, even if its a tiny toy gun.
Security staff at Heathrow airport confiscated a miniature six-shooter from a Woody doll from Toy Story fame because they thought it was a terrorist risk.
- John Hazen
The dolls owner John Hazen snapped a picture of Woody's pat down as it was happening.
The guy said 'we have a serious problem with your bag. Theres a metal shape object in your bag that looks like a gun,' Hazen told FoxNews.com.
He said that the security agent was very cordial and even checked with his superiors to see if they had to confiscate the gun. They ultimately did, but left Woody to be on his way.
Hazen said he posted the image on Reddit, with the caption, "security just confiscated his 'weapon, keep the world safe boys..., and then got on the plane.
A few hours when he landed in California, he was met with a flurry of comments on his post, with many criticizing security staff for being overzealous --or mocking the situation.
"I'm just imagining what it would be like if he tried to hijack an airplane with that small gun. People squinting looking at his hand," a user named Groonz wrote.
A user named duseinsha wrote, "Pathetic. What happened to common sense?"

Charlotte, North Carolina (PRWEB) February 09, 2014
Often homeowners are focused on finding tips pertaining to the installation of a home security or alarm system, but security systems need to be removed in some instances as well. A few common reasons a homeowner may need to remove a system would be if theyre planning a move, or if they want to upgrade or replace an existing system.
Its certainly possible to remove a system, or components of a system, without causing damage to the wiring or the walls. Hardwired systems are definitely harder to remove than wireless security systems, however, which is why theyre becoming the most popular type of system.
The team at SecuritySystemReviews.com, a site that provides reviews of top security companies and equipment, including updated wireless security system reviews, has put together a few tips to ease the removal of a system.
1.Before doing any removal, contact the alarm monitoring company, and alert them that the system will be removed. The reason for this is because when a wire is disconnected or cut, or power is cut off to a security system, the alarm company will automatically dispatch the authorities.
2.Avoid tripping the siren. Most alarm systems have sirens that are located on a separate current from the rest of the system, so its usually necessary to disconnect the power that runs to the main portion of the security system, as well as the siren power supply.
3.Remove the control panel of the system lastthis is where all the other wiring for the system is located. Its easiest to install another panel in the same location, but if for some reason a homeowner isnt planning to install a new security system, the wiring thats behind the panel should be capped off.
4.If the battery pack of the system, which is located behind the systems control cabinet, is still in good condition, it can be reused for a security system replacement or upgrade. If a control cabinet isnt being reinstalled, or is being put in a new location, as with the control panel wiring, cap these wires as well.
5.For adhesive components, like door and window sensors, it may be necessary to use rubbing alcohol to fully remove them.
6.If a homeowner is planning to install or upgrade the security system, its probably best to leave all of the existing wiring in-place, rather than removing it. The reasons for this is because unless wiring is badly damaged, it can probably be used for the installation of a new security system, unless of course a homeowner is installing a wireless system. Even for the installation of wireless security systems, it may be best to wait until a professional installation company has visited, to determine whether or not the wiring should be removed.
