How Home Video Surveillance Works
When they were first introduced, video surveillance systems were mostly used with medium to large businesses. These days however, they are becoming more and more common in homes. Video surveillance security systems are also known as Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) and are used to monitor certain areas around the home and help to protect it from burglars and thieves.
The monitor is a key aspect to the video surveillance setup. The monitor will feed the video from the cameras that make up the system. The monitors are normally black and white and feature a higher resolution than that of a standard television set. Monitors vary in size and resolution, although the standard resolution is between 500 and 1000 lines.
Cameras are also important. When setting up the home video surveillance system, the cameras are placed strategically around the outside of the home, in the most vulnerable areas. They should be set up in areas where they are nearly impossible to see. The cameras are always working, sending the video transmissions to the monitors on a frequent basis.
Coaxial cables are also a must have for video surveillance systems. The coaxial cables are what transfers the video signals from the camera to the monitor. The cables are available in a variety of sizes. You can find them at a local electronics store in your area. Your home video surveillance system will come with coaxial cables, although you may need more depending on where you plan to set the cameras up at.
Home video surveillance systems also use switchers. Switchers allow you to run multiple camera feeds to one monitor. Normally, a switcher will cycle through feeds unless it detects movement going on around a camera. When the switcher detects any type of movement, it will automatically lock in to the camera that has detected the movement.
There are some video surveillance systems that you can get for the home that make full use of VCRs. These systems will use the VCR to record any live video feed that you program. This can come in handy if you travel a lot, as the VCR can capture a break in as it happens. If you end up going to court or to the police, you can use the video tape as evidence. VCRs can catch burglars in the act – especially if you set the camera up to a location that is hard to see.
By utilizing the combination of a monitor and video camera, home video surveillance systems can easily catch burglaries and break-ins. They are very affordable these days, and used in thousands of homes throughout North America. If you’ve been looking for the ideal way to protect your home – a home video surveillance system is something you should look into immediately.

Brad Fallon's 2 Minute Report Review
I really enjoy Brad Fallon's 2 minute report. Here is a sample of some interesting comments from his website.
"The key to get the word out about your website this day in age is posting about it on social networks. For every social network out there, someone has created a cross posting tool in WordPress. Our current favourites are the MySpace, Twitter and Facebook plugins, that take any post you put on your WordPress website and posts about it on the respective Social Network.And of course, you want to make sure that your fans and readers have a chance to do the same thing. Check out the Sociable plugin- it makes it a snap to tell anyone and everyone about one of your web pages. It automatically supports Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Mixx, Email, Facebook and lots of others. Its like the swiss army knife of social bookmarks.
WordPress MultiUser, the version of WordPress that lets multiple blogs be hosted on the same website. Automatic, the creators of WordPress and WordPress MU just bought BuddyPress, a plugin that turns WordPress MU into a full fledged Social Network. This means that future versions of WordPress MU will contain all the stuff that BuddyPress added in, giving your WordPress install all the power of MySpace of Facebook."

Free Google Keyword Tool
Brad Callen has done it again! This is one of the best google keyword tools I've seen in a long time. It gives you the ability to analyze the google adwords campaigns listed to the right side of your browser window. Before you would read the ad and then if you were interested in knowing more you'd have to click on the link to go to the offer page and in the process the person bidding on the adwords would be charged so much money whenever their link is click on. This keyword tool actually shows you the link of the offer page and the person paying for the ad is not charged!
As a side benfit after you click on the View keywords box under the ad, on the right side at the top of the screen the PPC Web Spy tool lists the keywords the person is using in his campaign, the position of his ad, the average cost per click (CPC), the number of clicks per day and the cost of the ad. Another great feature is if you click on the underlined keyword it will show you another ad with the keyword in it that the person is using in another google campaign. This is a great tool as you can see the many campaigns a particular person is using.
There is also a suggest tool for an even greater number of keyword ideas. This tool is viral because it is a free tool and you can give the link to many people. It has benefits for the marketer also as if you buy the upgrade you can advertise your affliate links in the top 2 positions of the Firefox web browser.
