IP security - Sony IP Camera Debuts for Radiology Market

IP cameras, also known as internet cameras, are a combination of a camera and a computer in one unit with built-in OS, web and FTP servers that transmit image data and control signals over a fast Ethernet link. Unlike a web camera, it does not need to be connected to a PC; it operates independently and connects via an IP network.

Strapping an indoor dome IP camera to an IV stand and calling it a medical device for radiologists only works if you’re Sony.

It’s also not just any old IP camera or portable stand.  Sony is using its SNC-RH124 dual streaming, HD, 360 degree rapid dome IP camera that incorporatings state-of-the-art image-enhancement technologies in a compact body including 10x zoom that allow users to capture clear and bright images in challenging environments.

MD2GO Rolling Medical Stand

Coupled with the SNC-RH124 is Sony’s MD2GO rolling stand specifically designed for medical applications that forms a remote HD IP camera system.

The Sony MD2GO system has just been introduced to the radiology field at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) this week:

“The system is designed to enable HD Video communication between remote parties including multiple radiologists, radiologists and referring physicians, or even with radiologists and their patients. By simply using a PC and Microsoft Internet Explorer®, the radiologist can view the other party in HD video and have a two-way audio conversation from virtually anywhere at any time.”

New World of Applications

It’s intertesting to note that we’ve billed this Sony IP camera as capable of opening up a “whole new world of video security applications” for it’s great picture quality, wide monitoring area, and responsive pan and tilt functions.  Now, it’s been opened up to the medical world.

So if it feels like you’re being spied on the next time you have a procedure done, maybe you are, and that’s fine by me.  Sony claims the MD2GO has already been successful in surgery applications.   It’s great to see IP cameras aiding the advancement of medical science with effective involvment of remote expert physicians,  helping to teach next generation med students, or post-procedure patient monitoring.

Child Claims Abuse - Using A Video Surveillance Camera In Child Custody Cases

No one wants to see a child placed in unsafe or abusive situations and nowadays child custody cases don’t just involve one parent making accusations against another.  You could be contacted by a grandparent, an aunt or uncle or neighbor who is filing for custody of a child and wants evidence of wrong doing by one or both parents.

 

In some cases, these clients may want to collect evidence of certain behaviors such as:

• Neglectful behaviors such as not fastening seat belts or using car seats. Leaving a child in the car while the parent runs into the store or some other place. Excess partying with the child in the home, or an unclean or unsafe environment.

• Placing The Child In Danger.  Using drugs in front of child, driving while drunk, having known child abusers visit or spend the night in the home, allowing the child to play with improper toys,or alleged sexual or physical abuse by one or both parents.

Collecting evidence of any of these situations should consist of both observation and use of video taped evidence as well as interviews of neighbors, teachers, and relatives of the child.
Know the laws for video taping in your state.  In most cases you can video tape anything that occurs in public such as a yard that is cluttered with unsafe objects, a car, the front door the home, what is going on in a public parking lot, school grounds, or park. Spy Cameras

 When A Child Claims Abuse
In a case where the child itself is claiming abuse you can use video tape to get their accusations however, you must be extremely careful not to ask any leading questions that would suggest to the child the answer you are looking for.  You may also want to video tape or take pictures of any bruises or physical signs that abuse is going on.

Keep in mind that many times in child custody cases your client may have an ulterior motive for wanting to hurt the child’s parent or caregiver.  If your investigation reveals no bad behavior or danger to the child then let the video tape and your report show your findings.  While it is easy to want to save a child that you feel is being neglected or abused don’t get caught up in your client’s drama. Instead let the evidence speak for itself.

If you suspect wrong doings taking place you might want to consider installing a video security camera system around the perimeter of your residence. Wireless IP Camera systems even allow you to monitor your cameras remotely from another location. Get the peace of mind you need knowing that if something goes wrong that it will be documented with a video recording.

Also keep in mind that if you do become suspicious that child neglect or abuse is going on, many states demand that you immediately report this to the proper authorities.  Refusing to speak up for the sake of your investigation will not do the child or your reputation any good.

Surveillance Equipment - Surveillance cameras will be installed

The red and gold graffiti streaked 40 feet across the window and 60 feet down the face of the building — the third time Mayor John Linn’s business was vandalized. If the colors were any indication, the same person or gang had struck each time.

Linn said he hopes a grant received by the Lompoc Police Department to install mobile cameras in high-crime neighborhoods in October will reduce the amount of graffiti and other illegal activity in those neighborhoods.

Cameras are widely used in large cities, and the use of mobile cameras, approved by the Lompoc City Council, will make this one of the few “small” cities — the first city in Santa Barbara County — to relay a live-feed to the Lompoc Police Department, said Capt. Larry Ralston.

Funds from the $400,000 Community Oriented Policing Services technology grant received in 2009 have also allowed for the installation of surveillance cameras in police patrol cars.
Police eventually caught the juvenile who vandalized Linn’s property, but by then he
 had already committed numerous similar acts on other property, the mayor said. 

“If we had a camera in one location to catch him in the act, then we would have stopped him at the beginning of the road instead of four months later,” Linn said.

The surveillance cameras produced by Phoenix-based company RoboVu will provide an extra pair of eyes for police to watch over high-crime neighborhoods.

Police will be able to use the cameras, which can pan, tilt and zoom in on activity, to capture the images of suspected criminals, Ralston said.

Eight mobile cameras will be placed in undisclosed locations and two fixed cameras will be placed at the intersections of H Street and Ocean and H Street and Central Avenue, Ralston said.

“Crime in our worst areas will get reduced once word gets out that these cameras are out,” he said.
RoboVu founder Ed Foster said his line of products have been put to use in nearly 100 cities across the United States. The cameras allow police officers to skip costly jury sessions and convict criminals quickly with indisputable camera images, he said.

During budget-stretched times, Foster said, the cameras are a cost-effective way to prevent crime.
“You can hire more cops, which is hard to do with the budget,” Foster said. “Or you can put these cameras up.”

Ralston said the traffic cameras set up on H Street will provide a live feed that residents can view through the city’s website.

The cameras will also be used there to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic, Ralston said.
Ralston said the cameras would not be a step toward one day implementing red-light traffic cameras.
He would not reveal the location of the other eight cameras, which will be used in areas known to have gang activity, graffiti and other crimes, he said.

Ralston said cameras will not be used to pry into the lives of residents, which is illegal.
In one year, the city will submit a report to the City Council on progress.

Linn said his support of the cameras came because he was tired of seeing public property damaged.

“It’s just a hoodlum out to deface public and private property,” Linn said. “Enough is enough.”

Cameras Everywhere: Current Challenges and Opportunities at the Intersection of Human Rights, Video and Technology

I’m pleased to announce the launch of our new report: “Cameras Everywhere: Current Challenges and Opportunities at the Intersection of Human Rights, Video and Technology.” You can read and download it on our website. The report, like the initiative of the same name, aims to ensure that the thousands of people turning to video for human rights can do so as effectively, safely and ethically as possible.

The revolutions of the “Arab Spring” and the ongoing struggles for change in Libya, Syria and other parts of the world constantly remind us that cell phones, video and the Internet are playing a major role in the social and political change movements of our time. Our report notes the opportunities presented by this rapidly changing landscape as well as some of the risks and challenges, mainly to individual activists who risk their lives bearing witness and standing up for change.

Beyond taking stock of this new visual-media heavy landscape, our report makes specific recommendations to companies, organizations and individuals in the sectors of technology, policy, human rights, and civil society as well as those who fund and invest in such endeavors.

This report was developed by a team at WITNESS including myself, Bryan Nunez (our Technology Manager), and Yvette Alberdingk Thijm (our Executive Director). And the lead researcher and author was our former Hub Manager, Sameer Padania. Our insights and recommendations are based on interviews with over 40 experts and practitioners in the fields of technology, media, technology and policy including people like Bob Boorstin (Director, Public Policy, Google), danah boyd (Senior Researcher, Microsoft Research), Steve Grove (YouTube News & Politics), Joi Ito (Director, Media Lab, MIT), and Marietje Schaake (Member of European Parliament).

We hope you will find the findings of the report thought-provoking and that you will join us in engaging with the technology, human rights and policy fields to support and advocate for the recommendations. You can read more about the next steps we are taking here. Visit the Cameras Everywhere Report section of our website for more on the report.  And we invite you to return to the blog for forthcoming posts focused on specific recommendations of the report and guest author perspectives on some of the topics.

HP’s seven new all-in-one PCs target consumers, business

HP's seven new all-in-one PCs aim at both businesses and media-hungry consumers, marking the company's "largest investment" in the form factor.

For a company that’s looking to get rid of its PC business, Hewlett-Packard is certainly making a major play for both consumer and business desktops, today unveiling no fewer than seven new all-in-one models designed to appeal to both small- and medium-sized business as well as consumers looking for an elegant computer for the home. HP’s investment in all-in-ones rather than traditional desktop form factors is a result to research showing both consumers and businesses are gravitating towards all-in-one systems with their integrated displays and small form factors—IDC research says in the next year 15.7 percent of commercial PC buyers worldwide intend to buy all-in-ones, while over a third of consumer desktop PC purchases in July 2011 were all-in-ones.

“The popularity of the all-in-one form factor continues to grow, and HP’s contribution to this market is significant,” said HP Personal Systems Group executive GP Todd Bradley, in a statement. “We continue to expand our portfolio to remain the global leader in Windows-based all-in-one PCs, introducing innovation that matters to business customers and consumers alike.”

HP’s new Omni and TouchSmart PCs feature HP LinkUp, enabling users to shift content from a notebook PC to the all-in-one without file-transfer hassles: users can view and interact with content on their notebooks from the all-in-ones, but the data never actually leaves the notebook, so users can pick up and go without having to worry about re-syncing.



First up, HP is introduction the HP Omni 120 and HP Omni 220 PCs, with integrated 20- and 21.5-inch displays, respectively. Both feature HD-capable displays for entertainment and multimedia; the 120 will be available with either Intel or AMD processors and up to 750 GB of hard drive storage, while the 220 features a new cantilevered design, second-generation Intel Core processors, and selected models will sport Beats Audio. The OMni 220s will be available September 11 with prices starting at $799.99, while the Omni 120s will be available September 21 for starting prices of just $399.99.



Next, the TouchSmart 320, TouchSmart 420, and TouchSmart 520 are designed to offer premium multimedia and touch experiences, with a new tilt-enabled display that’s intended to compliment a room rather than stand out as a high-tech über-gizmo. HP’s TouchSmart software enables users to get into Windows apps and use built-for-touch applications without having to fuss with a keyboard or mouse.

The TouchSmarts feature Beats Audio technology, and the 520 and (previously released) 610 are available with an optional HP Pulse subwoofer. The TouchSmart 320 sports a 20-inch display, while the 420 steps up to a 21.5-inch display and a Blu-ray disc player, while the TouchSmart 520 moves to a 23-inch display and sports an HDMI input. The TouchSmart 520 and 420 will be available on September 11 with starting prices of $899.99 and $699.99, respectively; the TouchSmart 320s will follow in early October with starting prices of $599.99. The HP Pulse Subwoofer will run $149.99.

HP isn’t leaving business-types out of the loop: the HP TouchSmart Elite 7320 All-in-One business PC sports a 21.5-inch display, a choice of second-generation Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processors, along with backing from HP’s premium support program for 24/7 security and help. Meanwhile, the HP Pro 3420 All-in-One aims at small businesses that rely on video chats and conferences: it features a 20-inch display, a second-gen Intel Core i3 processors, and handles up to 8 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage. The TouchSmart Elite 7320 should land on September 21 for starting prices of $850; the HP Pro 3420s should be available in October for prices starting at $599.
