  • Jobsite Cameras Past, Present, Future
    Jobsite Cameras Past, Present, Future How jobsite cameras are evolving in use and capability By David Gaw, Founder, CEO – Sensera Systems Jobsite cameras have become an essential tool for the modern connected jobsite. Understanding these systems and how they support construction best practices is important in today’s ever-expanding jobsite technology array. In this article, we’ll take a look at the evolution of jobsite cameras and how they are impacting the construction industry. WHAT IS A ‘JOBSITE CAMERA’? A jobsite camera is simply a camera that is used on a construction site to provide automated capture of imagery and/or video. Most would also agree that a jobsite camera is one that is network connected to allow for remote viewing and image retrieval. However, there are some more basic devices used on jobsites that record images and video to local storage for periodic manual retrieval by the user. For the purposes of our discussion here we will consider only network-connected cameras, since non-connected cameras are typically not suitable for commercial construction project applications. In addition to the camera hardware itself, a ‘jobsite camera’ typically also incorporates software that provides the following basic functions (at minimum): • Remote configuration of the camera operation • Viewing of images and video • Remote long-term storage of images and video (e.g., cloud-based storage) • Creation of time-lapse videos from individual still images collected at specified intervals BACK IN THE DAY The initial jobsite cameras grew out of early ‘webcam’ applications. A webcam is a camera that is connected to the Internet (or the Web), to allow for remote real-time viewing.

  • Digital Camera Fully Compatible, Newly Developed S-TTL System
    Digital Camera Fully Compatible, Newly Developed S-TTL System "S-TTL" enables TTL auto shooting by an external strobe for a digital SLR camera as well as for a point & shoot digital camera. INON S-TTL auto strobe supports any manufactures' model providing highly accurate exposure control. Film camera era without strobe selection problem TTL stands for "Through The Lens" and TTL auto strobe system controls flash amount to provide correct exposure based on calculation by camera's internal sensor metering reflecting strobe light from a subject through the lens. This TTL system meters actual light amount reflecting from a subject providing accurate exposure. When we start with the history of underwater TTL auto strobe, underwater camera "NIKONOS V" released in 1984 was the first to provide automatic TTL flash control for underwater strobe SB-102, SB-103 succeeded by NIKONOS V compatible underwater strobes form other manufactures. The 5 pin electrical sync connector for NIKONOS V is most popular and widely adopted to connect an underwater strobe and underwater film camera (underwater camera / housing). A film SLR camera has flexibility to select an underwater strobe. As far as housing has NIKONOS type electrical sync connector and properly NIKONOS type 5 pin electrical wired, automatic TTL flash control is usable with any TTL auto strobe sync connector and NIKONOS V like Nikon SB-105, INON Z-220, Z-22 connected via electrical sync with INON Z-22 strobe cable. Film camera compatible strobe is not usable for a digital camera!? Underwater TTL strobe circumstances have been drastically altered with the spread of digital camera among divers.

  • Privacy Risk Assessment on Online Photos
    Privacy Risk Assessment on Online Photos B Haitao Xu1,2( ), Haining Wang1, and Angelos Stavrou3 1 University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA {hxu,hnw}@udel.edu 2 College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA 23187, USA 3 George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA [email protected] Abstract. With the rising popularity of cameras and people’s increas- ing desire to share photos, an overwhelming number of photos have been posted all over the Web. A digital photo usually contains much infor- mation in its metadata. Once published online, a photo could disclose much more information beyond what is visually depicted in the photo and what the owner expects to share. The metadata contained in digital pho- tos could pose significant privacy threats to their owners. Our work aims to raise public awareness of privacy risks resulting from sharing photos online and subsequent photo handling conducted by contemporary media sites. To this end, we investigated the prevalence of metadata informa- tion among digital photos and assessed the potential privacy risks arising from the metadata information. We also studied the policies adopted by online media sites on handling the metadata information embedded in the photos they host. We examined nearly 100,000 photos collected from over 600 top-ranked websites in seven categories and found that the photo handling policy adopted by a site largely varies depending on the cat- egory of the site. We demonstrated that some trivial looking metadata information suffices to mount real-world attacks against photo owners. 1 Introduction With the proliferation of cameras, especially smartphone cameras, it is now very convenient for people to take photos whenever and wherever possible.

  • Security Managers
    Point of View Security Managers: Your Livelihood Is at Stake Increasing Business Relevance While Improving Security Effectiveness By Chuck Adams, Business Resiliency Practice, and Joanne Bethlahmy, Retail Practice, Cisco IBSG When the economy turns south, so does the professional well-being of security experts—if they aren’t able to reinvent themselves. In these times of economic uncertainty, it is imperative that everyone deliver maximum value against organizational objectives. Security personnel (physical and cyber) are no exception. Even though security spending is expected to remain strong due to evolving threats and anticipated compliance challenges,1 security organizations continue to be viewed solely as protection or loss-prevention mechanisms. Often they are considered a “necessary evil” with little value to the organization beyond security.2 This is especially true when they struggle to keep pace with industry trends and business strategies. These continuing perceptions put security resources at risk. Additionally, leadership seldom consults with the security team for new market opportunities or insights on increasing organizational efficiency. Recent developments in the security realm, however, begin to paint some interesting possibilities. Trends of particular interest are the migration from analog to digital for video surveillance, the innovation explosion in video analytics, and the convergence of traditionally isolated security functions onto a consolidated, connected platform. More interesting than any of these single-dimensional trends, however, is what they represent when converged into a consolidated risk-management function. This possibility is far beyond merely protecting and preserving assets. There are numerous applications for intelligence that can be garnered from the next-generation unified risk-management function.

  • Ecological Changes Over 90 Years at Low Isles on the Great Barrier Reef
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12431-y OPEN Ecological changes over 90 years at Low Isles on the Great Barrier Reef Maoz Fine 1,2*, Ove Hoegh-Guldberg 3,4, Efrat Meroz-Fine 2 & Sophie Dove3,4 Coral reefs are under increasing stress from local and global factors. Long-term perspectives are becoming increasingly important for understanding ecosystem responses. Here, we provide insights from a 91-year study of the Low Isles on the northern Great Barrier Reef 1234567890():,; (GBR) that begins with the pioneering Great Barrier Reef Expedition (1928-29). We show that intertidal communities have experienced major phase-shifts since 1928, with few signs of a return to the initial state. Coral communities demolished by cyclones 50 years ago and exposed to multiple stressors have yet to recover. Richness and diversity of these commu- nities systematically declined for corals and other invertebrates. Specifically, massive corals have replaced branching corals, and soft corals have become much more numerous. The long-term perspective of this study illustrates the importance of considering multiple factors in reef decline, and potential recovery, of coral reefs, and the importance of tracking changes in community structure as well as coral abundance over long periods. 1 The Mina and Everard Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences, Bar-Ilan University, 52900 Ramat-Gan, Israel. 2 The Interuniversity Institute for Marine Science, P.

Since 1996, abundance estimates <[email protected]> in Puerto Rico have been conducted by scuba divers at intervals of 5 yrs. Yet diver surveys are limited by depth and time. In contrast, underwater video or camera surveys are not constrained by these factors and also provide a permanent photo record of observations. We conducted a survey of queen conch density on the western shelf of Puerto Rico in 2016 using two different methods: divers and a camera sled. Divers surveyed eight transects of 2–3 km using diver propulsion vehicles and standardized, historical methods. The camera sled was fitted with a digital camera, synchronized strobe lights, and paired lasers, and was towed along the dive transects several days later. Conch densities (conch ha−1) estimated with the camera sled were significantly higher than those estimated by diver survey methods, while mean length was smaller.

  • BRAVO! Summer Employee Institute 2012 How to Buy a Digital Camera
    BRAVO! Summer Employee Institute 2012 How to Buy a Digital Camera What is a Digital Camera? A digital camera is a camera that captures both still images and video as well. A digital camera is different from conventional film cameras because still images and videos are recorded onto an electronic image sensor. Both conventional and digital cameras operate in a similar manner, they differ because unlike film cameras, digital cameras can immediately produce an image that can be displayed on the devices screen. The images the digital cameras record can also be stored or deleted from memory. Digital cameras also possess the ability to record moving images or videos and also capture sound. The first digital camera was invented in 1975 at the Eastman Kodak company, by an engineer named Steve Sasson. Steps to Buying a Digital Camera 1. What do you need from a Digital Camera: Determine the main purpose you will be buying the digital camera for. If you are going on vacation and will be using it for family photos, then you do not need a $2,000 digital camera. 2. Do you need a DSLR: A Digital Single Lens Reflex camera is a more expensive digital camera. Used for more professional photography sessions that also gives the photographer more creative control of the shoots. 3. Shutter Speed: The speed between captures is very important depending on the activity being captured. Some cameras lag in the time between captures, while others do not. 4. Image Stabilization: Automatically stabilizes the capture from a person’s shaky hands. Lower end digital may not have this feature, it is something the purchaser must look into.
