Bogen Ceiling Speaker HFCS1 Video


Bogen Ceiling Speaker HFCS1

The Bogen HFCS1 ceiling speakers deliver superior sound and clear intelligibility in a variety of ceiling environments. The system can be easily installed in hard-surfaced ceilings, suspended ceilings, and new constructions. The HFCS1 offers several levels of power output controlled via a front-mounted rotary tap selector switch (under grille). The low-distortion speaker design, coupled with a computer-matched venting system, delivers high intelligibility and exceptional low-frequency response for both music and speech reinforcement. Bogen also offers the HFCS1LP (low profile) for applications where space might be an issue. The HFCS1LP is 4.25" shorter than the HFCS1, which can make a huge difference in cramped spaces. In this video, Mercy shows you what to expect when ordering the HFCS1. Enjoy

Day Night Dome Security Camera Video



Day night dome security cameras are perfect for indoor applications where low light viewing is a concern. In today's economy, it's more important than ever to be protected. One of the best ways to protect your investment from burglary, is to prevent it. According to United States Burglary Statistics, in 2007 a burglary took place roughly every 14 seconds. That means by the time it takes you to finish reading this article and watching the video, 17 burglaries have occurred. That's 6,171 every day. By installing a surveillance security system in your home or business, you chances of a break in are dramatically reduced. Here is a video about the very popular Everfocus ED230 day night security camera. Enjoy



Features:

  • 1/3” Sony Interline Transfer Super HAD CCD
  • 380 TVL of horizontal resolution
  • Special optical low pass filter (inside) for high IR response
  • Low light sensitivity of 0.3 Lux/F=1.2
  • Automatically switches to black & white image when light levels fall below 1 Lux
  • Angle View: 75° range
  • IR Distance: 45 feet (13 meters)
  • Compact size for discreet surveillance
  • Suitable for any indoor IR surveillance

The Everfocus ED230 day night dome security camera is top of the line in performance and reliability. This dome camera uses the Sony 1/3" chip and has 380 TVL (television lines of resolution). We do have the optional high resolution version available, which has 480TVL (Everfocus part # ED330). They both run off of 12V DC power and have a 4.3mm lens. One of the greatest features about this dome security camera though, is the small rubber boot on the end of the lens. This prevents unwanted glare into the lens that you would typically get from some of the lower end IR dome cameras. These day night dome cameras are available with either a black or white base, depending on your application and have an IR distance of 45 feet, which should be more than adequate for most indoor uses.
