2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

FIFA World Cup is finally here!

During such auspicious day I would like to share with you one soccer rule;

When a free kick is awarded in a soccer match, your opponent gets a place kick and your team players must stand at least 10 yards away until the ball is kicked.

And it is strongly advise that your team players to cover their body's vital part.


This is how a free kick is executed;




For Women's football;




If your CCTV cameras awarded a free kick to the burglar;

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.

Stripped Down

Like I said in my "Minimalism" posting I am a big fan of minimalism, here is another proof that less or simple is the ultimate sophistication.

I too am striving to design CCTV solutions as minimal as I possible can.

Wonder where can I get those environmentally friendly stripped-downed keyboard, Anyone?

BTW if I were the designer of this keyboard I will make it smaller to save our mother earth :)

Best CCTV

A good CCTV design is to allow a user to watch clearly a committing or a committed crime.

But the best CCTV design is to prevent crime from happening.



What is the point of knowing who ate your bread, stop them from eating your bread!

NESLO

The other day while I was shopping for groceries, I saw NESLO, the instant Nescafe coffee and MILO. A combination of Malaysian most popular coffee (70% market share) and chocolate malt beverage (90% market share).

The ultimate Malaysian drink.


This smart combination happens in our CCTV industry as well.

A hybrid NDVR system comes with analog composite video supporting DVR and digital network camera supporting NVR software. Like NESLO, hybrid NDVR gives you the advantages & benefits of both the analog & ip surveillance gear.


Cherlyn Gan's video demonstrates we all Malaysian are crazy for this fusion drink. It was published on May 22, 2009 even before Nestle launched it's NESLO in November, 2009.

Oldest Security Gear

The other day A CCTV prospect asked if we have any security gear which required no power supply.

I proposed the following unplugged security devices;

Hardworking Security Guard


Fiercest Guard Dog


The prospect told me those 2 options are too troublesome and expensive to maintain, he said he want something which required no power supply nor alive.

I proposed to him yet another 2 alternatives.



He bought some IP cameras from us.

120 Black and White Surveillance Cameras to Filmed Avatar

The talk of the town during this new year holiday season, box-office film "Avatar" is well known for its technological advancements and visual triumphs.

To film the movie performers' movements from every conceivable angles, some 120 black and white surveillance cameras were deployed on the sound stage in Playa Vista and software translated those movements into computer generated skeletons. The end result is a photo realistic universe where the aliens seem to live and breathe and its 3-D effect makes viewers forget that they are watching images on a movie screen.

Now that we have been to Pandora, what next?
