Can anyone recommend an outdoor home video security system which is wireless and requires simple installation? Price is not a factor. Thanks!

Looking for a system which will allow me to detect motion, see in the dark, and is weatherproof.


Check out surveillance-video.com. Or just to go into their shop at 387 Canal Street, just outside of the Holland Tunnel. They can put together a nice system. You want Infrared cameras for day and night use. Simple recorders go to HD, but you can also get systems that connect online.

Installation advice? After installing a system and recording some shoplifters I didn't have a good shot of their face because I placed the cameras around 8' off the floor, just like you see on all surveillance footage. I recommend putting one camera low, at most chest level through a window or some other protected area so you get a good face shot.

good luck

I think the weak link is the JC public accepting that same old story from JCPD that there is nothing that they can do, not enough resources.


Then why aren't we inviting red light and speeding cam operators to set up more locations here? Enforcement plus cashflow to city with zero outlay. Seems like a no brainer. The contract and implementation just needs to be made to prioritize enforcement rather than cashflow. There should be signs at every major road entrance to JC: "traffic laws enforced by radar cameras", so everyone knows and it's not a "gotcha".


Yes, Yes... That is easy. Outside contractors would love to get the contracts. They and the city can rake it in and put down control over the major streets and intersections. It is also good to get REAL cops pulling people over, but they can't do it because they are too overworked and underpaid. (yea right)

Having lived in Hoboken for a dozen years, prior to moving to JC, I can tell you that no one in the know illegally parks too close to the crosswalks - traffic tickets and booting raise revenue there.

I wish that we could hire additional staff to enforce parking rules - I nose my car into cross walks as I often can't see past the cars parked right up to the stop signs.



In HP, everyday I see Parking Authority 'Interceptors' simply pass by cars parked up to or in the crosswalks. Why don't they ticket? They seem to be only concerned with cars that don't move for street cleaning. Must be some sort of orders from higher up.

4bailey,

I am not home theater expert, but I am a two channel audiophile.

If you want protection from spikes I like a simple HIGH quality surge protector. It should not be made of plastic and the best place to get one is from a high end store like Stereo Exchange in NYC. (just an example)

"Power conditioners" tend to degrade your signal unless you spend over $500 and you still have to do your research in the audio reviews to be sure that others have had positive results. The term "power conditioner" is thrown around a lot for a wide range of power products and most are as you asked, hype.

If you are adding an outlet, make it a dedicated circuit. That is, has its own circuit breaker in the main electric box. This will help keep interference from dimmer switches and household appliances out of your signal.

In the big picture the above will only make a slight difference. A little here and a little there end up making a noticeable difference in the end.

If you actually spent time observing Monmouth Street traffic during the morning and evening rush hours, reasonable people would conclude otherwise.


Monmouth is very bad during the commute hours. I cross at 8th street and it is always a dash between cars. Honking horns and middle fingers is how I get greeted in the morning.

There are four "yield to pedestrian" signs installed at Monmouth and Pavonia, but drivers don't care because police don't enforce them. Yield signs do not work.

Mr_Bunny... don't change the subject. (Something many Obama detractors claim he did with his speech.) Brian_em's original post had no mention of Farrakhan.

You agreed 100% to everything he said. So I took the both of you to task about it & to post evidence in your defense. How did you guys respond? No evidence.. just opinion & conjecture.


I have been aware of The Trinity United Church of Christ's fondness for Farrakhan for some time now. When reading brian's post that fact was dominant in my mind, even more than the comments of Rev, Wright. The views of Farrakhan and what brian_em posted as descriptions of the church are in line. Unlike you, I didn't follow up with half a dozen posts explaining every nuance of my agreement and I didn't mention Farrakhan at the time because it was not the purpose of my post. I just wanted to share with brian_em that someone on the other side of the isle agreed with him. Simple and short. I didn't chime in earlier because I thought some of your responses were rude.

If we are trying to determine the politics of Obama's church shouldn't their endorsement of Farrakhan be put on the table. Do you think it's not important? I know you are detail oriented, but look at the big picture.

I really think it is terrible. Obama had my vote, but I can not in good conscience cast a vote for someone who belongs to an organization that holds Farrakhan in such high regard. He made his bed, now he has to sleep in it.

Good luck Obama.

That's right... pat yourself on the back, but I still agree with brian_em's post.

Rev. Wright has made some questionable statements. Racist? Intolerant? Truth? How people react to Rev. Wright's statements is based on personal interpretation. Nonetheless, the church gave Farrakhan their Trumpeter Life Achievement award.? Farrakhan is not the embodiment of unity and tolerance. Slick move in an election year.

Rev. Wright, Farrakhan, and Obama all holding hands. That is just how it looks and it may cost Obama the election. Rev. Wright complains about the rich white people running the show and now that Obama has a good shot at becoming President, he could be the one to spoil the election.

The fact that Obama is still in the race after this astonishes me.

Now, I will give him the benifit of the doubt when it comes to how close his relationship is to Rev. Wright. I'm a conservative, but have many friends and acquaintances who have extremist views towards our government. And their voice doesn't influence me in any way.

But besides Rev. Wrights actions, the entire ordeal goes much further than that. If you look up the church in general, you will see the entire position of that church is racist and extremist. It's not just one psycho who will spit hatred here and there. If you saw the commercial for the church, you will understand. It's strange, almost, cult-like.

It brings up HUGE questions about Obama. Why in the world would he be a part of this church if he doesn't believe in it's very public racist position? How can he send his children to a church where they are told that white people are trying to infect them with the aids virus?

How can he stand on a stage with a straight face, and tell america that he wants to unite our country and end racism, when he belongs to a church that tells young black kids that white people are un-evolved human beings?

Now, i am somewhat sympathetic to Rev. Wright. I understand that the black community has faced a great deal of racism in it's history here in America. I understand that he is angry. But there is NO EXCUSE to go on stage and shout hate speech and propaganda towards an entire race of people. These men talk about a future where racism doesn't exist, how is that going to happen when they are telling children to hate white people?

Barack Obama IS A MEMBER of this church for 20 years. Whether he says it to a camera or not, it is proof that he at least condones this type of hate speech.

Think of it on the flip side...If John McCain was found out to be a member of a white supremest group, He'd be done, he'd be finished, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT....and I'd be glad. Because there is no excuse for that type of racist thinking.



As a tree hugging liberal... I agree 100%

For him: aggravated assault, robbery and weapons offenses
For Her: conspiracy to commit robbery

Don't these charges seem a bit weak?
I thought that the use of a baseball bat to the head would be considered attempted murder with the use of a deadly weapon. (Or is aggravated assault legally the same thing?) Add to the fact that the robbery and attack was pre-orchestrated... I am particularly bothered by the lack of charges for Jasmine Rios.

These guys were at a comedy show. Do you really think they were in the mood to kick some ass? If David Murray was in the right, why was he the only charged by JCPD? If the incident went down as Mr. Murray claims then the other party would have been charged with assault. They were not.

David Murray broke the law. How do you defend that?

Someone I work with recently moved to Great Neck, New York. It's in the Queens area.

I visited her for a house warming and I have to say it was quite nice. It reminded me of some areas in Marin County.

It is obvious that those inclined toward crime are made less likely to do so when a potential victim may be armed.

I suspect that you have little experience with people who legally own and carry firearms. In my experience, those who do so are much more careful to avoid putting themselves in a position where they would be involved in a violent confrontation than the average person.

You are also more than a bit mistaken in terms of your faith in the police having extensive firearms training above and beyond those who have a carry license. My father was a police officer and qualifying with a handgun amounted to hitting some stationary targets a couple times a year. Some cops practice on their own time but in general they are as much all over the map as private gun owners. Nevertheless, their having firearms is a huge deterrent to criminals and most cops never have to shoot at someone. It's mostly about deterring rather than shooting, and this is even more true of private gun owners.

Even in a simple argument, a person carrying a gun would be more belligerent knowing that they have a gun at their side. I don't trust human nature enough to allow a bunch of "law abiding citizens" to be armed on the streets. To many idiots have not broken the law and that is your only qualification for owning a gun (besides age and mental defect). I don't mind cops with guns because they have extensive training.

If you want a gun in your house... fine, whatever, I don't care. Be responsible. Just don't shoot me through the wall while you are cleaning it.

Sorry to get off topic.


My point is that most of the people in this country are idiots or a$$holes and that I would not like them walking the streets with a gun just because they are paranoid. Many gun owners are responsible, know proper gun safety and have a cool head, but many do not. Looking at the general population of this country, I think it would be safer if they didn't have a gun in hand.

I know several people that own guns and they use them to hunt game, not humans. THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE. Statistics show that you will kill yourself or a loved one before you kill a armed robber. The gun owners I know would never consider walking the streets with a gun on their side. To top it off one had his house broken into and all 20+ guns were stolen and are now on the streets. Good times.

When I wrote of police having "extensive training", I refer to the total training, not just how to point, pull the trigger and hit a target, but how to use professional judgment of when a firearm is necessary. All drivers have to take a written and practical test in order to be able to drive. To get a gun all I have to do is not drool on the counter.


Sorry again for getting off topic.

Re: estimates and contractor recommendations for central air/heat or ductless heat/air
#20

1. Central Air (Forced Air)
We have a central forced air (standard type) heating and cooling unit on the roof of our 3 story. It works, but the first floor does not heat/cool as well because it is far from unit on the roof. Our house is very well insulated so it is not a big deal. The unit can range in cost from 6 to 10 thousand depending on your needs. Then there is installation. That would be very high for a 4 floor house. There would be a lot of drywall work to cover all the large ducts.

2. Ductless
We have a store that has one of these systems. It works fine for the space of 1000 square feet, but it is ugly. You would need to have these units in multiple areas of the house with the condenser outside and hooked up with what look like black garden hoses. Our single unit was around 7 thousand.

3. Central Air (High Velocity)
I would give this high consideration. Not many people know about this type of central air system, but you may be able to find someone who can give a quote and install it. The air passes through 2 inch hoses that can easily be run through walls and floors. It is great for homes that do not have the space for large ducts. The air exits through small vents, often looking similar to what you see on an airplane, pumping out air like a leaf blower. I have seen one only once and was very impressed.

Here is a link talking about the system.
