CCTV Forever

CCTV gear is probably the greenest thing that ever created by man.

I must admit the camera per say is not totally environmental friendly but I would like to point out that CCTV cameras can be used almost forever.

Of cause again it is not the camera can function forever but all spoiled cameras can be used as dummy cameras. A second phase of their usefulness to the surveillance system so to speak.

Like this spoiled door turned window.

RoHS Compliance CCTV Gear

It is important to coexist with the environment for sustained growth and development. Hence look out for the RoHS compliance sticker on the CCTV gear or any electronic and electric gear for that matter.

RoHS stands for Restriction on Hazardous Substances.

The RoHS directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic and electronic equipment which is harmful to the environment. Any RoHS compliant component is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

Green CCTV

While we have been enjoying the fruits of rapid technology development, the earth is suffering the negative consequences of the technology boom. With global warming and climate change deteriorating, people are beginning to realise the inseparability between the fate of the globe and the future of all human beings.


Hence, before you make any decision on your CCTV deployment please give green designed CCTV gear a thought.

Green Wagon

Everyone is jumping on the Green wagon.

Take a look at this 2 new drinks from Coke and Pepsi.





Did you check if your CCTV gear was RoHS Compliance? RoHS stands for Restriction on Hazardous Substances, for more detail check out my previous posting, Livi's 501.

Livi's 501

I must admit I'm a big fan of Levi Strauss 501 button fly jeans.

In celebration of the annual Levi’s 501 Day on May 1st, Levi’s is launching a special edition eco-friendly jean inspired by its classic and definitive 1947 design and made from 100% organic cotton. Organic cotton starts with seeds that are not genetically modified or treated with fungicides or pesticides. Weed and pest control is taken care of with the use of natural predators, by hand hoeing, trap crops and biological practices., The whole process from growth through harvesting is monitored by The Organic Trade Association. This special edition instead of its usual red tab it will carry a white tab with green Levi’s sign off to mark its exclusivity.




Today go green, go organic and environment protection is not only big in the fashion industry but in our CCTV surveillance industry as well. If you are aware of the importance of coexisting with the environment for sustained growth and development, look out for the RoHS compliance sticker on the CCTV gear.

RoHS stands for Restriction on Hazardous Substances. The RoHS directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic and electronic equipment. Any RoHS compliant component is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component.

Well, that is that. Oh yes, I'm going to get this pair of jeans.
