There appears to be a new product coming out on the market sometime next year that is good news to some of us and bad new to others. The reason that I am making this statement is because new technology created for the popular surveillance systems we see in large stores will allow these systems to be installed a lot easier. What this could result in for those who enjoy stealing items from smaller stores or hiding from the current installed cameras is a change in reality. The power is going to be given back to companies large and small thanks to this new equipment. I am going to review the new surveillance system created by a company called NEC.

NEC is a company that is reportedly located over in Japan. The company has gone on record stating that they would reveal a pretty cool product during the upcoming iExpo2007 conference that is going to be held in Tokyo on December 5th. Rumors had been circulating about what it was for quite some time. It finally appears that the company has released to the press what it is going to be without many more details surrounding the product. What we have here is a solution that NEC created that presents to the public a new security cam that is both quick and easy to set up. Oh yeah, did I also mention that the camera receives all of its power from a standard fluorescent light?

Industry insiders are excited to hear about this camera. The fact that it can be powered from a currently installed power source located in most stores provides businesses a cheap and easy way to install a security camera system. What is also great is that this is not all of the information that the company released. The camera also boasts a unique built-in 802.11b WiFi capability! This means that you will be able to stream all of the recorded video back to a PC that is connected via the WiFi signal.

These are great for most purposes. Cheap and easy. But I can tell you with absolute certainty that they are easy to defeat ("hack"). They can also be hijacked, tapped, disabled ("jammed"), turned off remotely, and otherwise "p0wn3d" by anyone who knows their way around a computer. Some airports in the U.S. have been using them, and they are easy to manipulate (refer to an article in 2600 Magazine a few months ago). Nice report!

This sounds fascinating - now if we could parlay this technology into our battery operated monsters, this would be a welcome Energizer Bunny reprieve.
