Check in Quietly With Cell Phone Surveillance

Now why on Earth would you be looking for information about cell phone surveillance? Because with the ability to look at your video security system from your cell phone you could check in at your house or a second home or perhaps check on your pet, your nanny or cheating spouse while you are at work during the day ;-) Yes, I have heard it all. Maybe you have a large high tech state of the art office with a high tech state of the art wireless video surveillance system and you want to make sure everything is running in tippety top shape and at optimal speeds, all vital systems operational-check, auto programs have started running and all maintenance tasks are going as scheduled, check, employees in the office doing work and not spending half the day on social networking sites, ok, we'll skip that one. Maybe you need a cell phone surveillance system ONLY for that instead, lol. Only, kidding, respect people's privacy, but you know that you need to give them fair warning if you are going to be using your little homemade cell phone surveillance system to 'spy' on them. A Word of Wise to Employees: Just say no when your company offers you a desktop computer or laptop computer, desk phone, cell phone and BlackBerry and you have absolutely nothing to be worried about :)

For those of you wondering if it is REALLY possible to use your cell phone for surveillance, yes, it is and there are also a few ways to do it. Be advised, there are quite a few variables from the kind of cell phone you have, to the type of surveillance system you have or decide to purchase so do your due diligence and check with the surveillance company before you make any final impulse or final purchases. Let's get into the basics and then we can expand on it a wee bit later. Alrighty then let's begin.

First off, if the cell phone surveillance system is a recent model it usually offers an alarm notification to any cell phone, BlackBerry or text message pager via sms text message. That means when your alarm sounds at your house, glass break, motion detector etc, you will receive a text message alarming you. Of course you will be frantic because you will have no idea what in the heck is going on, but hey, at least you are in know.

Secondly, if you want to see and get the first hand experience of being there in the moment from your cell phone video surveillance system, you can do that as well. You too, can watch the psycho person (could very well be your ex) rummage and stomp up all your hydrangea flowers as they throw the patio umbrella through the back window and you can see it as the plot thickens and plays out. In this case, you will need to have a cell phone, smartphone, or Pocket PC that has a Windows Operating System with a Media Player and Internet Explorer i.e. Motorola MPX200, Microsoft, HP and Dell. One of these cell phones paired with a cell phone capable surveillance system which recognizes you are browsing from the mobile cell phone or handheld device as opposed to from your computer when you are checking in online, will also work.

Thirdly, is that a such word, lol?!? some video surveillance manufacturers also make systems where they provide you with a 'special' cell phone packaged with the surveillance equipment that allows you to check in at your leisure.

It's cheaper to keep her
Funny enough, just like porn is still the #1 topic searched on the internet AND BlackBerry and mobile web capable devices, more than anything else, lol, catching your cheating spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend still tops the charts of why folks are purchasing cell phone and other surveillance equipment. Can you believe that? Anyway, I'm not encouraging it or condoning it, I'm just saying, be careful out there.

Getting the Best Deals on Mobile Phones

When people get a mobile phone contract they seem to buy the phone and not give much concern to the contract , this can be a dreadful mistake. Handsets have short-term appeal, the new must have ,Sony or Samsung will be yesterdays news in 6 months time but you will be tied in for a good year or in some cases, you will be in a 24 month contract, last years new toy will be next years brick.

So many contracts
Choosing the right package is sometimes confusing the gut reaction is to go for the cheapest. This is often false economy and over the long term can end up costing you a lot of your hard-earned money. Calculate how many texts you send a month and how many minuets you talk for and then increase those by 25% to give your self a good buffer making sure you don’t go over your allowance. I know some people use the phone differently month by month and one of the best packages for this is the T- mobile flex plans this will allow you to have an allowance that can be spent on texts or calls

Choosing the right phone for the long game
Things you should consider are what you are going to use the phone for. You need to ask yourself some questions before you start looking for a new contract.

Are you going to be taking video and photographs with your phone? As mobile phone camera technology has improved, we are starting to see a trend as people start using the mobile phone as their main camera. People with children and pets will benefit from having a good camera phone as it is something that is always with us

Music junkie
Do you like to listen to music on the move with all the major phone manufactures pushing music there has never been a better time to get a music phone with the likes of Sony Ericsson, Nokia and now Samsung promoting the phone as a mobile music wonder machine. With the long term in mind I would advise you to find a phone with lots of storage space and the ability to play all the latest music formats

Movies on the mobile
Mobile phone video clips are all the rage we've all seen them the funny movies shared over the Bluetooth. If you like movies, the mobile is fast becoming a platform to watch them on. With video compression algorithms changing, and video files becoming smaller; meaning complete movies can be stored on a memory card and shard between different devices again storage memory is king so I would get the biggest I could with the ability to play all the most popular movie formats such as MP4 and Windows media files

Always connected
The internet is a wonderful thing always connected to a massive information behemoth the likes that have never been seen before. Mobile internet access is becoming more popular and faster. Even if you don’t have need for it today , get a handset that supports internet access and email.

Longer mobile phone contracts are now becoming the norm, unless you are wealthy enough to be able to buy a new handset at cost price every 3 month it is likely you will have your handset at the very least for 12 months before you can upgrade. It is important that you get the best phone you can; it is worth paying a little extra for a better handset with larger memory and better features. Get the best contract for your usage, a package that will include all you calls, and texts.
