I accepted an offer to be chief of security for a sizable talent stable, having gained the requisite experience within Chicago's bar scene, especially the west side. I even earned extra safeguarding the offices, houses and cars of these high-profile personalities for whom I was responsible.
I was a self-protection weapons expert at the time, however relatively green when it came to covert surveillance devices. I prevailed upon a good friend based in Hawaii to come quickly and show me the ropes on top wireless video cameras at reasonable costs.
We were both aware on the outset that weather resistance and handiness 24/7 are reasons to love wireless video cameras. We could skip the essentials of a low-light outdoor camera or day-night color camera, of which I was familiar.
At the very least, I could tell that the all-weather bullet camera we spotted with infrared illuminators would make a wise purchase. He did not need to tell me that the ability to adjust to poor light settings outdoors make great wireless video cameras.
He directed my attention to the slow shutter and low-light-perfect .001 lux features of a 220x zoom day/night camera. According to him, the 1/3" enhanced HAD CCD image sensor is a plus factor for that model and the 60 LED day/night camera we saw next.
A combination of 60 infrared LEDs and X-Vision technology boosted the appeal of that other camera as far as covert surveillance devices go, not to mention its true color capability when used in very dark environments.
He next schooled me on high-resolution wireless video cameras, like this short range day-night color camera with 540 TV lines. Its 56 IR LEDs provided superb night visibility up to 150 feet.
On the other end was a similar-featured high-resolution day-night color camera, with wide angle lens this time via impressive 9 to 22 mm DC auto iris varifocal lens. I now know my way around covert surveillance devices but my buddy led me there.
