Lorex Technology LNE3003 network IP surveillance camera
Lorex Technology has rolled out its LNE3003 network IP surveillance camera which allows you to view whatever it is looking at, as long as you have an Internet connection. This does not mean you’re limited to just your computer, as you can also rely on a 3G-enabled cell phone or the iPod touch to take a peek at all the action. Video is transmitted in VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) at 30 frames per second, having compressed to MPEG4 format that makes it a snap for viewing from mobile devices. You have a wide array of choices to plug the camera into - a router, or connect via 802.11b/g WiFi, with a maximum wireless range of 250 feet in open space. You can even choose to have the LNE3003 email you whenever a motion is detected, with a JPEG attachment as proof. I wonder whether this is good for ghost hunting.

Samsung’s 8 megapixel shooter out to impress
September 30, 2008 by BabyReaps
Filed under Cell Phones, Digicams
Most cell phones these days come with a sub-5 megapixel count in their digital camera, but Samsung intends to forge far ahead of the rest of the competition with its new Samsung Pixon, also known by its model number M8800. This candybar handset even beats Nokia’s N95 that features a 5 megapixel sensor, boasting 8 megapixels worth of shooting goodness despite being crammed into a body that measures a mere 13.8mm in thickness. Other features of the Samsung Pixon include a 3.2″ WQVGA full touch screen display, 16x digital zoom, MP3, AAC, e-AAC+ and WMA compatibility, an integrated FM radio, DNSe, Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD memory card slot at 200MB of internal memory. Expect to see the Pixon hit the French market first for a yet undisclosed price.

Video device concept
The video device concept is pretty snazzy, and it definitely flows with many of the current electronic devices we have which are able to record more than just still images, capturing our favorite memories in full color video at ever increasing resolutions as well. This concept is made up of two components - the video recorder itself and a docking station that remains connected to a TV. The recorder will store everything in a digital format (what did you expect anyways, analog?), and when docked, you will be able to throw in your own special effects and perform clip edits thanks to a touch screen interface that is available on the recorder. Once you’re satisfied with your work, you can burn it onto a DVD to share with family and friends. The video device concept is the brainchild of designer Jonas Buc.

Spy Camera Glasses
The next time somebody wears a generic looking pair of sunglasses and look your way, you’d best check whether that zipper is pulled up to where it belongs.

Last but not least, the Spy Camera Glasses have polarized lenses and offer UV400 protection against the sun. It will retail for £89.99 per pair.

Canon Powershot Elph goes bling
Are you an avid photographer? Well, if you like to capture all things pretty, why not get a digital camera that looks good on the outside as well? This limited edition Canon Powershot Elph will come in five different diamond-encrusted colors, and will be unveiled by tennis star Maria Sharapova - a long time spokeswoman for Canon and their range of Powershot cameras. The camera itself, in its vanilla version won’t retail for much, but slap on a bunch of diamonds and you are met with a $12,000 price tag courtesy of the 88 white diamonds which weigh a stunning 2.22 carats. I suppose this digital camera would go down well with the Mobiado Lucido.

USB Mirror Web Camera
Most webcams these days come in a professional and business-like manner, looking all serious in their design. Well, there is a lighter side to things always and the USB Mirror Web Camera from Brando proves it. This mirror comes with two dozen white LED lights surrounding it, helping your face light up whenever you want to hold a video call with somebody over an instant messaging program. Works well as an impromptu make up mirror for the ladies at the office too, if you ask me. The mirror comes in handy as you can make sure there are no bits of food stuck between your teeth before you chat somebody up, while those who are more suspicious of their colleagues can always use this to make sure nobody sneaks up on you. The 1.3 megapixel webcam ought to function just like any other generic device in its class, and will retail for a rather hefty $79.

Liquid Underwater Mask
Are you a big fan of snorkeling and diving? If the answer is yes to both underwater sports, then the Liquid Underwater Mask is just the device for you. It not only helps protect your eyes from the stinging sea water during your dives, it also comes with a built-in digital camera right smack in between both lenses. You will be able to choose from 3 or 5 megapixel CMOS sensor models, and other features include an LCD display, 16MB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot (up to 2GB in capacity), a USB port (presumably to transfer data directly) and video recording capability at VGA resolution at 25fps. It will retail in Japan for 75€ and works up to depths of 30 meters. Just make sure the camera is dried out before you place it near a computer for data transfer.

Samsung TL34HD
Fairly new on the list of Samsung’s digital camera releases is the TL34HD, in a slim design with features that will keep you snapping. Following the NV24HD, this model is more advanced and easy to use. A 14.7 megapixel resolution gives you beautiful precise pictures and with an optical zoom of 3.6x you won’t miss a moment. Movie stabilizer for those video memories you couldn’t quite catch in just a photo, and successive recording mode so you can pause for any interruptions.
With an all metal build, the design is sleek and sturdy, plus small dimensions of 3.68” x 2.34” x 0.80”
The Smart Touch 2.0 user interface will make changing your options and menu items up painless and with HDMI connectivity nothing will slow you down. 720p video recording with a high 30 frames per second is great for most anything you want to capture on video. Includes a 28mm Schneider lens for the best shots. Other models are currently available if these features aren’t what you are looking for, but look for this coming in September from Samsung.
