Basically this site is generated with information based off of local police agencies inputing data. 


Sometimes there are cities which aren't covered on this map BUT can be found by searching in GOOGLE for terms like 'crime map in Hulbert, Oklahoma' or 'crime mapping in Cool, Texas'.

Snap In Design


What's great about this design is that it offers convenience if needing to take the camera head out for service or repair. The mounting plate actually holds all of the tours, patterns and scanning points in the memory so that when you reinsert the camera head, everything is back to normal. You do not have to reset the tours patterns etc.

Durability 


Why these cameras will last:
  • Life Expectancy of the Slip Ring is rated over 60 million rotations 

  • The camera module is Japanese (Dont worry their not Toyota/Honda)

  • The rings that runs the run the motor are made of a nylon Synthetic (Very Durable)

Compare

Personally I feel as if the Bolide PTZ  ranks on the high end of PTZ and offers a competitive advantage compared to some of the TOP competition. 

Check out the Comparison I did for Bolide's Auto-tracking PTZ and The Famous Pelco Spectra IV.

Is The USA Behind In Electronic Technology

I just found this camera, manufactured in Europe, which allows you to go completely portable off of your 3G Network!

Does Bolide make this? NO, I just thought it was cool!












One Box
Supplied as a ‘one box’ solution: A complete PTZ camera,
500Gb on-board DVR and 3G modem.




Portability

The ultimate in portability - Operate a total monitoring solution anywhere with 3G, GPRS, Broadband or Wi-Fi coverage. Flight case included.









Rapid Deployment
Can be rapidly deployed to any location and is ideal as a temporary
portable camera sending live images direct to a PC, laptop
or dedicated monitoring station.









Built-In 3g Transmission
The transmission of live video is achieved using the GSM/3G
phone networks, providing a completely wireless connection
enabling deployment of the unit in almost any location.





Go Anywhere With 3g Transmission
3G Wireless dome - meaning it can be set-up anywhere with
3G coverage. The dome can be linked to the mains or battery
supply. It can be installed even in the most remote locations immediately.

This is the type of stuff that really gets me motivated. The USA is still in its infant stages when I see things like this. BUT thats great because I'll still have a job for the next 20 years!!!



Las Vegas Bum Beats Blue Car!!

**Turn off your sound if your sensitive to Bad Language. 



I would say a mixture of drugs, alcohol and dumbness pushed this Bum from Las Vegas to do something so crazy. My jaw just about dropped when I first saw this. I for one would have ran up and OVER the curb to get a away... what would you do??
