What is CCTV?


Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.

It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point wireless links. CCTV is often used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores.

In industrial plants, CCTV equipment may be used to observe parts of a process from a central control room; when, for example, the environment is not suitable for humans. CCTV systems may operate continuously or only as required to monitor a particular event. A more advanced form of CCTV, utilizing Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), provides recording for possibly many years, with a variety of quality and performance options and extra features (such as motion-detection and email alerts).

According to Intel, its customers would soon have the possibility to have a computer chip implanted into their brains so they would operate computers, mobile phones, TV and more, using their thoughts, without any physical interaction.

Currently the company's new invention is being developed at its lab located in Pittsburg, USA. The chip will be able to feel brain activity with the help of a special technology based on Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI). Scientists at Intel have not yet developed such a chip but according to one of the company's researchers Dean Pomerleau these are close.

Theoretically, different people thinking of the same word or image would have the same activity in their brains, but since no one really knows exactly how the brain works, this is not certain.

Tech Gifts Beautiful Inside and Out



Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-ray Player
Most DVD players don't care how they look, with boring black boxes the rule. Not this Samsung Blu-ray model, whose case is a lot more attractive than its name, the BD-P4600. The rounded corners and 1.5-inch-deep case wrap a player that can stream Netflix and Blockbuster videos and Pandora music-and pump out 1080p Blu-ray movies.


Dell Adamo XPS
Dell flew into the teeth of the recession with new laptops that are sophisticated in styling and are, the company says, the world's thinnest. Even opening the slim Adamo XPS is slick, with a finger swipe popping the halves apart. Then the screen starts swinging on an unusual hinge that also lifts the main case for extra cooling.
 

 Panasonic SC-ZT1 Wireless Home Theater
A wireless home theater system seems impressive enough. But these Panasonic speakers are so superthin that they almost disappear. Each of the four SC-ZT1 spindles holds four speakers and a subwoofer, enabling the combination to create a roomful of sound that mimics a 7.1 system
 


Samsung Pebble
Rocks are a popular theme with this year's beauty tech. The Samsung Pebble's case looks like it was sculpted in a flowing stream and comes in a stack of colors. The 1.5-inch-wide Pebble looks natural hanging from a neck on its lanyardlike earbuds. No screen means limited control over playback, but buttons allow switching between shuffle mode and a playlist.

Annoyed With a Slowly Starting PC : Here’s the Solution

1. Keep your constant eye on which applications are running on your PC
A major factor that leads to slow starting up is that, very often Windows automatically starts processes and programs as soon as you turn your PC on without any kind of notifications. If the number of programs running gets higher in number, then it becomes tougher to speed up the boot time in operating systems of Windows arena like, Windows Vista and XP. To get rid of such automatically kicked off programs just click on your start menu at left of your screen and then select Run, and type in “msconfig”. Once you hit the enter button, this will allow to access a window disbursing you the features of System Configuration Utility. If you click “Hide All Microsoft Services” located in the Services tab, this will display a few of the unwarranted applications that are in processing or running.
2. Use the Disk Defragmentation Utility:
This step is very much needed for your PC in order to fasten up the start up time. This particular action acts as a service to your computer’s regular maintenance as to check if your PC contains files that are in disarray and needs to get optimized.
3. Use quality Antivirus software:
Beware that your antivirus software is up to date and keeping an eye to all computer processes all day. Because always remember, spywares do contribute in slowing down your PC by a margin and a good anti virus or anti spyware helps to identify and kill such harmful processes.

So, in order to get a quick starting PC, try to follow the above mentioned little but very effective tips.
