Camera security systems are available all over the place. I spent three years working in my best friend’s restaurant. With a variety of shady customers popping in and out, it was certainly hard to keep up with what was going on.

He soon invested in camera security systems to keep a much closer eye on his patrons and employees. This paid off one night. As we were closing up the store, a final customer came in to place a quick order. Without warning, he pulled a gun and demanded all of the cash from the till.

We complied, but he didn’t know that he was being filmed. This paid off the very same night. The local police nabbed him only blocks away. Because of the camera security system, the restaurant didn’t lose and money.

I love my home theater system, but I worked hard at it. I read the article “Designing a Great Home Theater System on Any Budget” and got some great ideas. Then I went shopping for the best HDMI cables and equipment I could get for what little money I had. It was a fun trip and I was able to put together a great system. Sure it isn’t exactly state-of-the-art. But on my budget, it’s close.

Along with all the buzz and excitement that satellite Free TV On PC software has brought, quite a bit of controversy has also been generated especially across online forums. Some folks swear by it and some swear at it. So, is it a scam or gem?

People must look at the whole thing objectively before taking any position. First and foremost, satellite TV on PC functions on FTA (Free-To-Air) feeds. By on large, these are broadcast free of charge. As such, opponents are just overly quick to contend that they should not have to be paid for simply on that basis.

Computers can be installed with TV capabilities through hardware or software. The hardware method is more complex in terms of technical requirements but is surely more straightforward in economics and civics. A configured PCTV card with a mini-dish fitted onto the computer will get you satellite TV, no scam or any two ways about it. The software method is where the bone of contention is centered. It still accesses the same FTA streams as the PCTV card system but a charge is levied for the purchase of the computer program that performs that function. Actually, there is value-add by the service providers. First, they have to come up with the specialized software. After that, they provide lifetime administrative service on an ongoing basis including updates and upgrades. Think of the computer program as a tool like the PCTV card and dish system and you’d be more receptive to it. To be sure, the programs that they bring are from free sources but so are fish from the oceans. Try demanding free fish at the market.

Some self-claimed users also grumble about set-up and operation. Typical of such so-called field shortfalls are video stutter, access difficulty, poor programming variety and service support. On the other hand, there are just as many users if not more, upgrading their packages so the providers must be doing something right. Furthermore, such software retail with refund guarantees through established e-commerce service providers like Clickbank. They are in fact the ones sticking out their necks. By all means, give it a try.

Perhaps the underlying problem is in the misplaced expectations that people have of the product about Is TV For PC A Scam. Granted, there’s a charge for the software but programming is free and it’s being unrealistic to stack it against subscription or pay-per-view TV. These folks may have been misled somehow, or perhaps influenced by cheap tactics to clock Adsense clicks by some webmasters cum forum editors. Quite likely, the scam is hidden in their apparent war on scam itself.

A recent advertisement for HD contact lenses set a new standard for marketing hubris and brought into focus the growing confusion over the meaning of “High Definition.” Regrettably, HD is becoming a catch-all term for “better video,” whether or not it actually meets accepted technical standards for HD image quality. In the video space, where specifications should truly mean something, HD apparently refers to the number of pixels that are sent to a video monitor, regardless of the quality of the information in those pixels. Telepresence technology looks at HD solutions from a different approach: the quality of the information contained in those pixels is just as important as the number.

Nowhere is a precise, technical meaning of HD more important than in the growing field of life-like videoconferencing, where large amounts of information must be transmitted in real time and utilized interactively. Because life-like videoconferencing – also called telepresence – is designed to replicate an in-person meeting experience with great clarity and precision, it requires large bandwidth to achieve high quality results.

For example, DreamWorks Animation interconnects multiple HD-caliber videoconferencing, story board and editing suites so that creative teams can collaborate in the production of films. As recently described in Wired and BusinessWeek, the stream of video and audio information between each DreamWorks location consumes over 20 megs of high quality bandwidth. This enormous requirement can be visualized by imagining a home furnace that must be fed by a giant oil pipeline in order to provide sufficient fuel to heat a house.

Most companies, of course, are not in the film animation business and are therefore unwilling to pay for this extraordinary quantity of broadband. Providing these enterprises with a high quality videoconferencing capability requires a different approach – the use of sophisticated compression technology that reduces video information by 80% or more before it is transmitted, and then restores the data stream at the other end. The job becomes particularly tricky when HD-caliber videoconferencing is desired.

With the exception of “pure HD,” as implemented by DreamWorks, videoconferencing – as a practical, cost effective service for businesses – is technically incapable of replicating the HD technical standards associated with broadcast television. Too much information needs to be removed/restored via the compression process to replicate broadcast quality HD, which employs cameras, recording devices and transmission equipment that far exceed what a typical corporation could afford.

Thus, a new specification for HD videoconferencing should be established – one based on the amount and quality of the source information – rather than simply the pixels – delivered to an end-point. Such a specification would level the playing field for vendors, eliminate hubristic marketing claims and, most importantly, help buyers make informed decisions about the systems they purchase.

Telepresence is Transparent
In order to be successful and truly change the way companies do business across distance using telepresence, no matter whether its Personal Telepresence or otherwise, the telepresence technology can in no way interferes with the meeting conversation, it must be natural. This is a simple statement, but one that takes into account several factors that together accomplish the details necessary for a natural meeting experience.

As with the larger systems, Personal Telepresence has to accomplish the same objectives as a fully built out four or five screen room. No matter how many participants or how many site locations; a true telepresence meeting must have precise and uncompromised eye-to-eye contact. Participants must be able to look in any direction and see eye-to-eye, off to the sides and vice versa. Each person also needs to be able to hear directionally, from their location at the virtual table AND be able to interrupt each other without delay – all interactions that we take for granted during a face-to-face meeting.

All of these technological challenges were the root of why many lost confidence in traditional videoconferencing, a technology solution plagued with blurry images, out-of-sync lip movements, frustrating audio delays and shoddy sound quality. Today’s technological advances that make up true telepresence solve these visual and audio inadequacies and feed into the goal of capturing non-verbal cues such as facial expressions and body movements – the interactions that people would interpret and engage in if they were sitting across the table.

From an audio/visual perspective, telepresence features directional sound and broadcast-quality video that allows conversations to take place in real time and participants to make eye contact. As a result, the meeting experience is transparent, intimate and effective. Essentially, a true telepresence meeting evokes an emotional experience whereas videoconferencing with its lifeless images and jerky sound and even self-start HD videoconferencing historically could never accomplish.

Personal Telepresence, along with other varying types of other telepresence solutions, were essentially created to provide an alternative to travel, a way to communicate with people across the world at a moment’s notice. It is not the size of the system, the number of screens or the resolution that accomplishes this feat, it is the combination of an immersive set of technologies wrapped with a managed service and extended reach network that together provide an unmatched solution for companies to cut travel and carbon emissions, collaborate more effectively, create a better work / life balance for their employees and even secure a business continuity plan.

Telepresence possesses Interoperability & Agility
Whether a Personal Telepresence solution or a three, four, or even five screen fully-built out room, telepresence needs to be agile enough to integrate with other telepresence and traditional videoconferencing units within the same organization, with partners and customers without losing the immersive experience. If this is not possible, telepresence becomes an island and one that will quickly fizzle out in usage and diminish ROI in prior videoconferencing and telepresence systems. As important as the connectivity agility is extended reach. Personal Telepresence is agile for a number of reasons – size, ease-of-use and if it’s the right solution, it also has an extended network reach that can allow telepresence calls from any corner of the world AND connect with any of the other vendor solutions.

The Advent of Personal Telepresence
Most companies that have looked into telepresence expect to save money with their purchase, but the specifics of what the solution needs to have wrapped around it is part and parcel to achieving the best results. Essentially there are four critical elements that separate Personal Telepresence from a traditional videoconferencing system.

Collaboration capabilities in Telepresence
Collaboration capabilities are also important to telepresence technology since the objective is ultimately to faithfully replicate an in-person meeting. Telepresence allows participants to feel as if they are in the same room with colleagues across distance, but what about having the ability to act as if in the same room? Newly released collaboration options including surface computing solutions and virtual whiteboards that allow multiple types of content to be manipulated and shared over many locations have helped to bridge the physical to digital divide that has challenged telepresence and traditional videoconferencing in the past. As system price points move from fully built-out rooms to Personal Telepresence, the array of collaboration tools pares down. The more basic options offered by all the main vendors such as presentation screens (either separate or picture-in-picture) and document cameras have been a mainstay option across all telepresence solutions.

Telepresence: Reliability and Ease-of-Use
Creating telepresence technology to execute a natural meeting experience is only part of the solution that makes telepresence viable and successful for companies to communicate over distance. A telepresence meeting is only valuable if it’s reliable. Reliability is not a sidebar to true telepresence, it’s required. It is critical to inculcating telepresence throughout all levels of the organization. The key to reliability lies with a managed service, but there is much confusion in the market about what this actually means. A telepresence managed service means that all components are monitored and tested before each meeting and appropriate adjustment are made remotely (a certain level of instrumentation needs to be designed into the telepresence solution to enable of instrumentation needs to be designed into the telepresence solution to enable remote adjustments). The managed services needs to be guaranteed with an ironclad SLA and integrated into the appropriate company scheduling system. Whether Personal Telepresence solutions are self-start or if the call is initiated through a concierge service is less important – it’s the guarantee that a managed service provides that a meeting will happen, without compromise.

Google Video pulled the plug on video uploads - and as a very active internet marketing person, I used them a lot. So I needed to find a reliable replacemnt.

What did I need? I wanted low cost, high quality, ad free and easy to use.

I contacted one of the well known service. They were expensive and unpopular according to the blog comments. One day they even pulled free content from users, and set an entry point at $2000. You cannot use it as a storage place because you can upload but not download. I did not like the vibe from them.

My final choice has a number of benefits. It is EzS3video. It works like an ftp combined with a player creation tool. You can control access for sepcific URL’s only and make players that will allow full screen mode.
