April 5, 2012   Direct Look Into Analog To IP CCTV System Upgrade



The above illustrates something new, trendy and making a lot of noise at this year's ISC West, Hong Kong International and probably at the ISC East trade show in N.Y. this fall. IP is going to get stronger as demands for mobility, flexibility and scalability become the standard for video demands. We are going to add this to our IP Camera section. We will add an accessory items section very soon (probably in at the end of the month), if you have read our previous blogs then you will certainly know that we are have a lot of updating to do as we are in our first year. Stay tuned or use our site search engine to find more information about how this solution works.


April 4, 2012   Ajax Pagination For Shopping Grids & Ordering

In the past month we have had several orders where people have gone to our online store and placed a "phone verification" order. There is a reason for this! Due to past security reasons, identity theft, charge-backs and many other malicious behaviors; we are not accepting credit orders direct. We certainly can process credit cards, but we are looking to move away from automated payments. If you are serious about your surveillance needs, you will place temp orders, call us and verify your application and payment options. We are bringing paginated grids to help speed your shopping and browsing experience. We should have this system in place this month. All in all, if you are interested in a certain camera, dvr, system, call us direct for purchase invoice and payment options. We are out of the country this month for a trade show. Feel free to leave a message and we will get back to you when we return mid April 2012. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may or might cause.


March 31, 2012   Analog To IP CCTV Solution

Part of the 2012 year new trends emerge from manufactures. Every few years the closed circuit television market grows with new technology and or improves upon older methods or parts of surveillance to offer very powerful solutions to flexibility and adaptability. This year our team witnessed the number of exhibitors that were pushing analog to ip video solutions. Analog is of course standard signal or better said traditional way of transmitting video. In the last 7 years this has been the way most have setup their surveillance systems. In between the last seven years, wireless, video servers and ip solutions showed up. Due to a variety of reasons, wireless has proven still too expensive and not consistent. IP cameras and video servers have the same problem. Finally manufactures wised up and created both analog and network capabilities. Today you can purchase an ip/analog setup to upgrade your current setup or setup a closed circuit television system that can handle both analog (local) and IP (internet) ways to monitor and record video. We are going to start a special section for this equipment and start placing sample order pricing. If you have additional questions, feel free to write us or call for a quick consult.

November 24, 2011   Be Careful Of Shotty CCTV Systems This Black Friday



The very law of capitalism is the ability to compete and the vast amount of goods and services available to consumers. You can measure the strength of an economy by the amount of entrepreneurs and businesses that take a risk on their capital to provide such prices and work with consumers to deliver the right prices and the low prices. However, some retailers mislead or intentionally lower price of goods and leave out some important details. Prices are good, but sales are better. Measure complete cctv systems based upon the type of quality and pieces that are involved. For example, the picture above dictates a cctv system with nice looking bullet cameras and a cctv dvr; however, if you look at the specs, you'll notice that this unit is not a "real-time recording dvr" and it has no hard-drive? Seriously? Why even bother selling a cctv system without a hard-drive. These are price points designed to trick you into making a purchase. The point we are making is, "You want a plug and play solution and zero hassle"! If you have never formatted a hard-drive and then integrated the settings into the BIOS-chip-set on the standalone dvr, then you will be very frustrated and unhappy with your purchase. Stay away from EBAY systems if at all possible and contact the supplier and ensure that what you need is being met! Give us a call if you have any first initial questions about what to look for in a cctv system and how to purchase one! We will give you a 30% CCTV System Discount if you find this article in contrast with a potential buying action; we'll take care of you and supply your needs.




November 24, 2011   Happy Thanksgiving To Everyone In The World



I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! It is this week, where I and my staff here at DSCEUSA, take time to realize how thankful and lucky we are to be able to do what we do. We realize this year families in Europe especially, Greece and Turkey, where the economy has hit hard and left many people suffering. In Turkey, they had a massive earthquake that has left many people in the cold and snow. Although governments are taking action to help alleviate the suffering, inequality is always the silver-lining and it just takes too long to provide real comfort and end suffering. I tell my staff, family, and friends to really be thankful for the government, economic system, and the many different people that make U.S.A what it is. We enjoy almost endless supply of goods and services to help keep our standard of living at the very highest degree. I hope that your Thanksgiving is one for the books! We look forward to bring even better equipment and low prices this 2012 year!

November 19, 2011   Differences In Real SONY Chipsets & Chinese OEM Chipsets



Today, I came across a topic, that I don't know if anyone is really out there trying to talk about. However, what are the differences in prices in cctv cameras across the Internet? Above is a small diagram (smallest one I could fit) that shows the visual difference betweeen an OEM version of SONY's chipset. The main difference is in the gapping in bewtween the pins of the ccd sensor on the main motherboard. Also you'll notice the marking on the digital signal processor. An OEM or imitation chipset has just serial number marked on it. The truth is OEM version of SONY chipsets is they are neck-and-neck! The quality is hard to tell. In cctv cameras that have less than 480TV line specification, OEM imitation chipsets might have a little graniy image, but other than that they will do just fine for any CCTV application.

A new section underway, and by that I mean, "planned"! In light of scouring the Internet, you can find all sorts of spy camera deals on the Internet.

Then I realized, it’s the laws of economics; the more competition the better the end-result for the customer. Our attempt to supply the market place even more spy cameras is to offer “application” information. Stay tuned for a new section of security cameras to make their way to our e-store.


November 7, 2011   OEM Chinese CCD Camera Chipsets Are Soild





In the great world of integrated circuits, technology and product availability has never been better. The cost of manufacturing circuit boards for digital technology is explosive; as a result, powerful electronics like digital cameras, graphical user interphased phones, dvrs, are very inexpensive. This is the result of economics, where customers and suppliers work together to get a true market price. We benefit in this by being able to offer a generic brand to much of the highest advertised brand security cameras, security dvrs, and many other cctv equipment. Chinese oem chipset technology is the end result of market activity and we have comparable cctv cameras at sometimes one-third the cost of most of the cameras that have SONY, LG, SHARP, and SAMSUNG chipsets. We offer OEM manufacture CCD chipsets with 600TV Lines of color video for $69! This is very powerful for our customers and the market. One thing I can say is if the market can stay active, we can ensure more power and high quality cctv cameras at low, low prices.

October 31, 2011   Hidden Infrared LED Lights On PTZ Camera

A new addition to the ptz cameras catalog, is our infrared led lights embedded ptz camera. This camera hides the infrared led bulbs up in the head of the ptz camera. Infrared led bulbs, take away from the professional look of the camera. There are other reason too, for example, staying covert.

October 29, 2011   What Is Wide Dynamic Range Technology

So what is WDR? What does it do and what cameras have it? All security cameras have several built-in features that act as sensors that work to constantly improve upon tough environment conditions. Wide dynamic range is one of those features. As the photo illustrates above, wide dynamic range, allows images to display with more luster and brightness from poor lighting conditions. The camera adds the necessary color and works better than traditional BLC sensor also known as backlight compensation. We have bullet cameras and dome cameras that have wide dynamic range technology built in; use our search engine and locate the camera and style you need for your application. Last, we suggest using WDR cameras in areas where glass doors and windows will be the primary target for feild-of-view. During the day when the sunlight drops, these cameras will adjust the video shot necessary to continue to produce high quality video.
