F.A.Q`s for Surviving a Disaster
Q - Can I just depend on the Government ?
A - Yes and No. You should be prepared for at least for 3 days, it could even be longer for help to arrive, depending on the Emergency and how large it may be. So having a Survival Kit and a Plan is Your best bet.
Q - Can I just go to the store and get what I need, if a Disaster occurs ?
A - You can but statistics say that about only 2 out of 10 Canadians are prepared and we don`t know when something will happen, so if you were to wait the stores may be jammed with people buying everything in site that they may need and when you go to get your supplies they might be out of stock or worse yet if the hydro goes out most stores would close and you get nothing to be prepared. So if you had a Kit on hand you would not have to worry.(Make sure that you have extra cash on hand because if the power goes out Bank ATMs, Devit cards and Credit cards Machines will be down)
Q - Where do I find out where to go or whats happening if a Disaster does happen ?
A - It`s good to have a battery operated, crank operated radio on hand. Most radio stations are linked to your Government so that may advize you of what actions to take if there would happen to be an Emergency situation. If possible purchase yourself a generator (5000watt) so you can have some of you nesessities working (Freezers, Fridge to keep food fresh and other home items Furnaces even your Sub-Pump)
Q - Do I need extra Gas ?
A - Yes is is good to try and keep you vehicle full if you happen to hear you have to evacuate also a couple of Jerry cans Full (if storing Gas for awhile add stabilizer to keep gas good). You may need it to fill even your generator which hydro might be out for awhile. Always store your gas in proper containers and a safe place.
Q - Will I have to worry about water ?
A - YES, water may become Tainted and Contaminated during a Flood or even if the Hydro goes out, so make sure to always have water on hand at all times. (enough drinking water for 72 hrs. plus washing and Sanitation)
Q - Why should I have a Kit ?
A - You may never know when something is going to happen and at the last minute you and your family have to move quick to evacuate your home. Not being prepared can be very stressing to you and your family when you don`t have the access to anything and have to wait for help to come and Save you which could be 72 hrs or even longer. So having a kit prepared you are somewhat ready.
Q - What do I need in a Survival Kit ?
A - This is very important so always check and update your kits. (every 3 months) also practise drills. Our Food has a 5 Year Shelf Life
Items needed for (72 hrs for each person).
1 - Food and Water
2 - Water for washing (All Hygiene essentials)
3 - Water for Sanitation purposes (Bucket with lid) and toilet paper.
4 - First-Aid Kit (also all everyones medications)
5 - Important Documents (Insurance papers, Bank information, Home policies (put in plastic Zip-Lock to protect them)
6 - Contact phone numbers and addresses of Friends, Family and Doctor. (put in plastic Zip-Lock to protect them)
7 - Extra clothing (Pants, socks, underwear, sweaters and coats)
8 - Bedding (Sleeping bag and blankets)
9 - Tarp (For shelter and cover)
10 - Communication, Lighting (battery operated or crank operated flashlight even a solar powered radio)
11 - Extra Cash (Banks may be closed and ATM`s may be down. No Hydro)
12 - Most of all preparing yourself for your family they may need to depend on you or even a stranger might need your help. So prepare yourself even for the worse, you never know what may happen in the time of a Disaster.
Remember if you have Pets you have to Care for them too!!
Safety4UCanada carries a wide range of Survival and Safety supplies for one person to a group of 10 or more to be prepared for the what ifs of life in our changing World.
We hope you never get to use Our Kits.
But it`s better to be Safe, than Sorry.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Cameras
Surveillance Definitions -
AGC
Automatic Gain Control is an electronic system found in many types of devices. Its purpose is to control the gain of a system in order to maintain adequate performance over a range of input signal levels. Or An electronic circuit that tries to keep the video signal at a constant level (1volt peak-peak). Useful on cameras working at low light levels
AI
Auto Iris is an electronic circuit that acts as an iris on CCD cameras by electronically shuttering the CCD sensor. Or An automatic method of varying the size of a lens opening in response to changes in scene illumination.
AWB
Auto White Balance is an electronic process used in video cameras to retain true colors. It is performed electronically on the basis of a white object in the picture.
CCD
Charged Coupled Device: It is analog technology. The CCD camera has a little bit higher resolution than CMOS. The camera also functions better in low light. A CCD camera drains a little bit more power than the CMOS cameras. It uses 12v instead of 9v. CMOS camera is smaller than a CCD camera and works longer with the 9v battery.
CMOS
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor: a lower resolution camera compared to a CCD model. The advantage of a CMOS camera is that it uses lower operation current.
HAD CCD
Hole Accumulation Diode is a type of CCD sensor with a layer designed to accumulate holes (in the electronic sense), thus reducing noise level.
S to N Ratio
Signal to Noise Ratio is simply the ratio of the signal power and noise power, expressed in decibels (dB). Or measure of noise on a video signal. It is represented in Decibels as the level of the video signal compared to the level of noise present on that signal. The higher the signal to noise ratio the better.
BLC
Balance Light Control is a method to compensate for bright spots in a picture. It is also important to consider whether there are bright spots in the picture such as car headlights which can make identification of the vehicle registration or model impossible. This can also be a major problem where it is necessary to identify a person who is moving from bright daylight into artificial light. This could result in the subject becoming an unidentifiable silhouette.
OSD
On Screen Display is a method of displaying set-up information or instructions on to a display monitor.
Resolution
Resolution measures the cameras ability to reproduce an image. The higher the resolution, the better the picture quality.
LUX
LUX is the measurement of low light needed for the camera to view and record properly.
FPS
Frames Per Second is the number of still frames (pictures) that give the illusion of motion, which appear in a single second of time.30fps is considered "Real Time". So for Real Time viewing of your cameras, you need at least 30fps for each camera.
IR
Infrared, IR LEDS are used on Day/Night cameras which allow the camera to see in the dark.
Focal Length
The distance from the surface of a lens and its focal point.
Hidden-Camera Questions -
How do hidden cameras work ?
A small board camera is built into an everyday item. The camera can be wired which means it is connected to the DVR or VCR using a cable. The camera can also be wireless, in this case the camera transmits a signal to a receiver that is connected to the DVR or VCR.
Can I get audio in my hidden camera ?
No you cannot. According to United States federal laws, audio should not be used in a surreptitious manner. One example of surreptitious interception is audio in a hidden camera. This includes pinhole board cameras and all covert or hidden cameras; i.e., a clock radio. Audio in a hidden camera or board camera is only available to law enforcement agencies. Title 18, Section 2512.
What is the difference between a wired and a wireless camera ?
Wired cameras have a video cable that runs from the camera to your recording or viewing device such as a DVR, VCR or monitor. Wireless cameras have a built-in transmitter that sends the video signal to a receiver. The receiver connects to your recording or viewing device.
How far can a wireless hidden camera transmit ?
Standard wireless hidden cameras can transmit up to 1000 feet and high-powered wireless hidden cameras can transmit up to 2000 feet.
How many wireless cameras can you have in one location ?
You can have up to four wireless cameras in one location. You can view all cameras at once using four receivers or you can use one receiver and switch to each camera. You will only be able to view one camera at a time if you only use one receiver. If you want to install multiple wireless cameras in one location it's best to order them at the same time so that we can put them on different channels.
Will a cordless phone interfere with wireless cameras ?
Cordless phones that operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency will cause interference with 2.4 GHz cameras. Interference should be minimal and usually occurs if the phone is between the camera and receiver.
What is a Quad ?
A Quad splits your monitor into 4 sections allowing you to view 4 cameras at once.
What is a 2.4 GHz wireless frequency ?
A frequency is used to transmit a signal or data like video. 2.4GHz is the specific wireless frequency that our tranmitters use to send video signal to a receiver. All of our wireless cameras operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency. Range varies from 200' to 700' depending on environmental conditions. These units are FCC approved.
Are the transmitters FCC approved ?
The transmitters used in all of our wireless systems are FCC and Industry Canada Certified.
What is CCD ?
CCD is used in professional cameras because of it's high resolution quality and it's ability to record in low-light situations. CCD is basically a small silicon chip that receives light and turns it into voltage variations which makes up an image. It's usually measured in inches with 1/3" CCD being the standard. They are higher priced but are great for cameras that may require vision in near darkness.
Will a Quad allow four cameras to record at the same time ?
Yes you can record all four cameras at the same time. You also can record using a switching monitor, which will record the camera that is showing at that moment.
Do the receivers work through walls up to two feet thick ?
Yes as long as there isn't excessive amount of metal in the wall.
Do the plug and play connections require extra wire to run the signal back to the VCR or TV ?
Yes, you need to buy the length of cable you need we offer the CA-25, CA-50 and the CA-100.
What is the difference between a DVR and a VCR ?
A Digital Video Recorder (DVR) system records high resolution digital images to a hard disk drive (HDD) and eliminates the requirement of maintaining VHS tapes. Since the video images are stored digitally, the image quality will not degrade overtime, as would a VHS tape when recorded over multiple times. The time-saving search capabilities of a DVR will enable the user to locate the desired video clips via user defined parameters (camera, time, date, etc.) versus the fast forward and rewind functions of a VCR. A
DVR can be accessed remotely from anywhere in the world using the Internet.
How many hours will a DVR record ?
The amount of time a DVR will record for is based on the size of the DVRs hard drive, the number of cameras recording and the number of frames per second it is recording at. One camera recording in Real Time uses 1 GB per day. So a 16 camera system will use 16 GB in one day.
What is a DVR card ?
DVR Cards enable the user to convert their computer into a Digital Video Recorder. The DVR Card(s) is typically installed in an available PCI slot of a computer. DVR cards are bundled with video surveillance software which allows the user to record and display multiple cameras simultaneously from the camera site or a remote location.
What is a Plug and Play connection camera ?
It is an RCA Video plug and a power plug on the camera for easy connection to VCR or TV. This is done by running the RCA (Aux) line into the VIDEO IN of the VCR or TV. The TV or VCR must be set on the correct channel to view the VIDEO IN picture.
How many cameras can I hook up to one TV ?
You can hook up as many cameras as your TV has inputs. Most TVs have 2 inputs but when using a quad you can hook up four cameras.
Do you need a VCR to record or will the cameras record ?
You must have a VCR or DVR if you want to record.
How long will the camera last with a 9-volt battery ?
The Cyber Eye and BD-127 will last 5 hours.
Between what temperatures is it safe for cameras to operate in ?
It is safe for B/W cameras to operate between -23°C to + 50°C or -10ºF to +122ºF
It is safe for color cameras to oeperate between -23º C to +40ºC or -10ºF to +104ºF. It is safe to store cameras between -30ºC to +70ºC or -22ºF to +158ºF.
What is the operating voltage of a camera ?
Our cameras range from 9 volts (CMOS) to 12volts, and also 24 volt professional models.
What is a varifocal lens ?
A varifocal lens is one where the focal length of the lens can be varied. This is a fancy way of saying it is a zoom lens. Most varifocal lenses have, and in almost all circumstances should have, an auto iris feature.
What is a fixed lens ?
A fixed focal length lens cannot zoom. The focus is fixed. A fixed focal length lens usually allows more light to pass through the lens at a given focal length than a varifocal, or zoom lens. This can be important in low light situations.
