What is the Cyber Eye?

If you own any property, you run the risk of someone else wanting it for their own. While burglary rates have been declining recently, they still number about 25 per 1,000 households. You should have some sort of motion detection camera installed at home or your office to catch any intruders, and the Cyber Eye Infrared Digital Surveillance Camera is a good choice.

Burglary is defined as the unlawful or forcible entry or attempted entry of a residence. Burglary usually, though not always, involves theft. The person is usually a drug user that does not work, and needs money to support their habit. The use force to illegally enter your home or office by breaking a window or slashing a screen. They can also enter through an unlocked window or door. Whatever the method they use to enter the building, as long as they have no legal right to be inside, a burglary has occurred.

Also, the building need not be the house itself for a burglary to take place. Any illegal entry of a shed, garage, or any other structure on the premises also constitutes a burglary. Burglary can even occur in a hotel or while you are on vacation, it's still classified as a burglary.

Unless you have someone inside to watch your property 24/7, the simplest thing you can do is to have some sort of surveillance camera system in place to protect your property. If you can't afford a multi-camera system, there are several choices for single unit cameras that are self contained and can either record motion or pictures.

One of the most economical choices is the Cyber Eye Infrared Digital Surveillance Camera. The Cyber Eye Infrared Digital Surveillance Camera is a black & white, self-contained, motion detection camera that will take pictures of whatever is in front of its lens, whenever motion is detected, day or night. The Cyber Eye can be set to record images at intervals between one and sixty seconds, up to 680 images before the unit is full. That gives you recording times between 11.3 seconds to 11.3 minutes.

Since the Cyber Eye is a tiny, self contained camera, it can be set up anywhere in your home, office, or vehicle. You can point it out a window and it won't affect the image. One creative use is to put it in your car to catch vandals who might be damaging it, or spraying graffiti on your fence. Just activate the Cyber Eye up with the included remote control, and you can leave knowing your Cyber Eye Surveillance Camera will record any movement. This is not a good camera if you have children or pets, as they will be constantly triggering the camera. A volumetric room alarm that is activated by an open door or window is a better choice for those applications.

To view your images, simply plug the Cyber Eye into a TV or VCR, and use the remote to scroll through the images to find the ones you want. Then, you can record the images to the VCR, or you can use a Camcorder to record the images to tape, and then dump that into your computer so you can make a CD or DVD. The images are stored in non-volatile memory, so you can't loose them if your battery dies or the power goes out.
