Some Want Cameraphones Banned Due To Happy Slapping

It never fails. Every time some moron kids do something stupid with a camera phone, instead of blaming the moron kids, people start screaming about why we need to ban cameraphones. The latest is in reaction to the ridiculous “Happy Slapping” situation — which sounds like it’s been blown out of proportion to how serious an issue it’s really become — where the mother of one victim is saying cameraphones should be banned, or, at the very least there should be an age limit on them, like cigarettes. The problem, of course, is that there’s no age limit on stupidity — and people will still get cameraphones and still do stupid things with them. The real issue is making sure that those who do these stupid things — especially in the happy slapping cases where the morons film themselves doing stupid things — get punished.

happy slapping & banning cell phones

Sorry about previous post (hit return by mistake). If technophobes want to start banning gadgets because of potential misuse or harmful effects they might want to look at ordinary consumables like tobacco & alcohol (which both would not pass FDA scrutiny if introduced today) before they get their skivvies in a knot about anything else. Remember when kids played with cast acrylic balls on strings. They banged together violently and caused innumerable injuries from impact and plastic shrapnel when they shattered and what about ‘lawn darts’? How much brain damage did they cause before we woke up?

700TVL MINI PINHOLE COLOR CAMERA

Micro CCD color microcamera interfaceable with any analogic video surveillance device.

Unlike other wired video surveillance systems that use considerable sized cameras, the ENMN-Q1945L is suitable to be interfaced with analog devices video recording (DVR) with a minimum space. Due to its small size is in fact preferable to other devices of that kind, much more cumbersome and outdated, while assuring high quality and video performances.

The mini CCD color camera with 1/3 Sony 700TVL chipset and 2.8 mm pinhole lens allows you to give back high definition images. The result is an effective and lasting camouflage inside of small appliances or other items powered directly from the electric grid (wall clocks, junction boxes etc.).

The device operation is extremely simple. You need only to choose the most suitable place to work and connect the video camera to a powered system for video surveillance. After that, it will work, collecting great images for you, suspicious movements, evidence that nail.

Our support doesn’t end after the purchase. Our technicians will be at your disposal at all times for the resolution of any problems or explanations, recommending the installation and the use of the product.
