Protect America and ADT Make The List of Top Home Security Systems By TopConsumerReviews.com

Samsung's entry in the home video surveillance arena is the SmartCam WiFi Home Security Camera (SNH-1011N). It's a nice-looking device with a breezy setup process, some useful features, and remote access for whenever you have an available Internet connectioneven via iOS and Android smartphones. The SmartCam ($149 list) lacks features that the same-price Dropcam HD and the Editors' Choice Logitech Alert 750n Indoor Master System offer, such as Dropcam's "DVR" style recording option or Logitech's on-board video storage on SD Cards. But if you only need real-time video and can put up with a few performance glitches, such as occasional crashes and slow-to-load video streams, at least until Samsung updates the firmware, you'll probably be more than happy with the SmartCam.

Design and Setup The Samsung SmartCam is an sleek-looking device constructed of white plastic with a big eye-like lens over an LED indicator that's there to tell you what mode the camera is in. It measures 3.5 inches high with the base, and 2.1 inches wide, with a depth of 1.2 inches at the thinnest point, depending on how you orient the camera on the base. It also comes with the necessary hardware for mounting the camera to a wall or ceiling. You can only use the SmartCam inside (the case isn't weather proof) and you have to be near AC power because there's no battery option.

The features list of the SmartCam is fair to middling: integrated 2.4GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi (which is much more convenient than the HomePlug found on the Logitech Alert 740N); Ethernet for wired connections (but no Power over Ethernet); 640-by-480 maximum resolution at 30 frames per second using H.264 and MJPEG compression; and as is de rigueurthese days, night vision and motion detection. What it lacks: a wide angle lens, zoom, and any kind of local storage, such as an SD card.

Setup couldn't be simpler. If you've got a router that supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)the method of hooking up devices to the wireless router by pushing one button on each device so they can find each otherthen by all means use it. Even without WPS I had no problem. I plugged the SmartCam into my network using Ethernet, and it connected quickly.

Setting up an account online at Samsung's website is easy and it's the primary method of controlling the camera, unlike, for example, the Y-Cam Bullet HD 1080 which is geared toward those controlling their own local network. Once you create an account, you enter the serial number of the camera, and the Web interface will find it across the Internet. Samsung provides an extra layer of security by asking you to register a personal identification number (PIN) for each camera, which you must enter before viewing the video feed. You can register multiple Samsung SmartCams at the site and access them all from one place, but you can only watch one at a time. The website even handles firmware upgrades for the camera itself.

To view the video feed in any browser, you need to download Samsung WebViewer, an app that installs a plug-in for each browser. In contrast, the Logitech Alert 750n uses specialized software, but what that model lacks in convenience, it makes up for in performance and its ability to view multiple streams.

Features and Performance Honestly, the video stream from the SmartCam isn't great, especially at the maximum resolution. Setting it down to 320-by-240 nets a huge improvement, but that impacts video quality. There's the typical one to three second delay from real-time, all the time. The video looks pretty good in bright light, but not exactly high-def like that of the Logitech cameras.

As with other cameras, the infrared night-vision works like a charm for low- or even no-light situations. The view in the dark is perhaps a little too dark compared to other cameras, as the SmartCam has fewer infrared LEDs than the competition (only six). The lack of a wide angle lens makes it hard to capture all of a room, unfortunately, even when the camera is jammed in the corner.

The performance delays occur despite Samsung SmartCam's ability to tell the difference between access on the local network (peer-to-peer) or when you're remote. For the latter, it enters a "relay mode," where the video goes to the Internet first, then back to you. In relay mode, the streaming video connection is limited to three minutes, after which you can extend viewing time. That's nice for Samsung, as it cuts down on the company's server load. But in practice, whenever the SmartCam site asked me to extend the viewing time, the browser plug-in for Google Chrome crashed. These are not limits you find with the Dropcam HD.

HANDLE WITH CARE. The traditional feng shui compass or luo pan can be used for a lot of good. But when put in the wrong hands, you will probably get dreadful advice like the ones below. Photo by Borghal taken from Wikipedia

HONG KONG - I chanced upon a television interview a few weeks ago that featured a feng shui expert. In his white, short-sleeved shirt and black pants, he looked like one of those nondescript uncles who gatecrash wedding receptions yet blend in so well that everyone assumes he is an obscure 4th-degree relative. His wispy beard was a tangle of stringy black and white hair which, for some reason, added a certain degree of credibility.

The geomancers client base is broad. Families approach him. Businesses approach him. Even the Church sees me, he exclaimed, (because) feng shui transcends religion. Wow. I guess something that is even mightier than an almighty God should be taken really seriously.

The famous interviewer sprayed him with questions tweeted in by a home audience that was apparently just as curious as I was. The geomancer handled each question confidently while referring to the animals of the Chinese zodiac or to the basic feng shui elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water).

Just by knowing your birth year, he could predict how your love life or business investments would fare in the new year. It was very fascinating.

It is widely known that there is serious money involved in the art of feng shui. Which made me wonder: how do I get in on some of that action during this Year of the Snake? Aside from growing a goatee that looks like it could use a good rebonding, I should probably learn how to give credible advice

Master Yu,

I was told that having new things to usher in the New Year is good luck. So we bought a brand new 42-inch Smart LED TV. Where should I position it in the living room of our 50 sqm condo unit to reap the greatest luck? - Mark

#FamilySunday: Feng shui follies

MANILA, Philippines Feng shui is usually applied to homes and businesses, but this is also used to determine if a person is compatible with his or her friend or partner.

With the start of the Year of the Water Snake last Sunday and only three days until Valentines Day, feng shui expert Raquel Anion said all animal signs of the Chinese zodiac have their respective friends and allies, noting that some people are simply not compatible with others.

The Chinese zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, with each year assigned to a certain animal.

Lahat ng tao may kanya-kanyang animal signs. Lahat ng animal signs ay may mga friends and allies, said Anion, who is the managing director of Charmed House of Modern Feng Shui, in an interview on the ABS-CBN morning show Umagang Kay Ganda on Monday.

According to Anion, those born in the Year of the Tiger are compatible with the Horse, Dog and Pig, but are in conflict with persons born in the Year of the Monkey.

(To know which years are included in a certain animal sign, click here.)

The Rabbit, on the other hand, will get along well with the Pig, Sheep and Tiger, but not with the Rooster. The Rat is a good match for the Dragon, Monkey and Ox, but not with the Horse.

Anion added that the Ox is compatible with the Snake, Rooster and Rat, but not with the Sheep; while the Dragon is good with the Rat, Monkey and Rooster, but not with the Dog.

The Snake is well-suited to the Ox, Rooster or Monkey, but not with the Pig; while the Horse is great with the Dog, Tiger and Sheep, but not with the Rat.

Meanwhile, Anion said the Sheep is compatible with the Pig, Rabbit and Horse but not with the Ox; while the Monkey is well-matched to the Rat, Dragon and Snake, but is in conflict with the Tiger.
