High-speed Net coming to a plug near you?
By Paul Davidson, USA TODAY
For years, high-speed Internet service was only a dream for Lee Stanton. His house in a nook of Potomac, Md., is too far from his phone company's switching center for DSL.
And forget cable broadband. Stanton, 68, "always had a negative feeling about" dealing with the cable company, even for TV. "I have perfectly good broadcast TV."
But just as Stanton had resigned himself to molasses-like dial-up speeds, an unlikely savior galloped to the rescue: his electric utility. Two months ago, the retired software engineer signed up for a free trial of broadband over power lines by Washington, D.C.-based Pepco.
"It's remarkably good," he says. And he can tap the service by plugging his laptop and modem into any outlet in his house.
After years of fits and starts -- marked by technological and economic hurdles -- electric utilities may be poised to jolt the high-speed Internet market by offering the service over the same wires that power your dishwasher, refrigerator and toaster.
That could bring broadband to millions of rural consumers with no access to cable or DSL. And it could add a third, low-priced alternative in urban areas. Several power companies say they can offer broadband for as little as $30 a month, well below the typical $40 to $55 range of cable and phone services.
"I think it's ready to explode," says Alan Shark, head of the Powerline Communications Association, which represents utilities interested in broadband. "We're talking about millions being served in the next 24 months."
At least a dozen utilities are conducting field trials, including, among the USA's 15 largest, the Southern Company of Atlanta, American Electric Power of Columbus, Ohio, and New York-based Con Edison. At least two utilities -- Pennsylvania Power & Light and Ameren of St. Louis -- are expected to launch service in a few neighborhoods this year. Some utilities in Europe and Asia already offer limited service.
Don't expect most of the USA's top power companies, however, to rush headlong into broadband. Noting past failures and the power grid's resistance to data traffic, many analysts and utility executives remain skeptical. "I've had enough of all these guys' Kool-Aid," says Yankee Group analyst Seth Libby. "It's still a work in progress."
Also, utilities are a cautious lot. They were chastened when a telecom glut decimated their late 1990s investments in stringing fiber-optic cable, which they planned to wholesale to local phone start-ups. "When the bottom fell out of the telecom market, Wall Street rewarded utilities for maintaining a more traditional electric utility viewpoint," says AEP tech chief Bill Randle.
But even skeptics say this year's planned broadband rollouts could be a watershed. "If they go well, you'll see a lot of utilities joining the bandwagon," says Brett Kilbourne, director of regulatory affairs for United Telecom Council, which represents 850 power companies that also offer telecommunications services.
Broadband would supply fresh revenue to a power industry buffeted by the sour economy and the implosion of the energy-trading business. And it would let utilities slash costs by using the fast data links for internal benefits, such as automated meter reading, line monitoring and load management.
The economics are appealing: The new technology only requires utilities to add certain equipment to their existing wire grids. It's potentially a way to "leverage our network for additional revenue," says Pepco Finance Director Jay Demarest. He adds that the communication capability can also be useful in tracking power outages.
For consumers, a new high-speed offering couldn't come at a better time. The Federal Communications Commission recently voted to phase out DSL competitors' discount access to the regional Bells' broadband networks, hobbling rival providers such as Covad Communications, EarthLink and AT&T. FCC officials say electric companies could replace that lost competition, helping to hold down retail prices.
"This is within striking distance of being the third major broadband pipe into the home," FCC Chairman Michael Powell said last week at a demonstration of the technology in Maryland by Current Technologies.
But if utilities are game, they ought to join the fray in the next year or two, industry officials say. While just 23% of online households buy broadband today, that figure is projected to jump to 40% by 2005, Jupiter Research says.
For nearly a decade, as the cable and phone behemoths haltingly rolled out high-speed Net services, power companies muttered: Why not us? After all, unlike cable, electric wires run to every home and business. And their grids can push broadband to remote areas more efficiently than phone networks.
Power companies also boast miles of fiber-optic cable -- largely used for internal communications -- which they can use to connect an Internet backbone to their medium-voltage power networks.
Some problems to solve
But the networks haven't greeted the Internet traffic warmly. "It's a hostile environment," Kilbourne says. Early attempts at providing broadband service through power lines by Siemens, Nortel and others failed.
Although data can easily share the same wire as electric current by running on a higher frequency, overhead power lines are not insulated. So data, which travel in energy waves, can easily disrupt -- and be disrupted by -- TV, radio and mobile communication system transmissions. Also interfering is the electric noise generated by say, a vacuum or fan on the same circuit. Another problem is that the power network is laid out in branches, with the same wires feeding many customers. That, as well as a collision course of capacitors, switches and other gadgets, weakens data signals.
But a new crop of technology suppliers has cleared most of these hurdles by chopping the data into tiny packets. If a few are lost through interference or attenuation, your computer can still figure out the message. Amplifiers and repeaters boost the signal.
The biggest roadblock, however, is the transformer that converts medium-voltage current (10,000 to 69,000 volts) to the low voltages (220/110) that enter your home. It can swallow data signals whole.
The upstarts believe they've finally solved this with a variety of techniques. Ambient and Current Technologies bypass the transformer with a special wire that carries the data, while only electric current passes through the transformer. Main.Net relies on packet-chopping technology to slip the data intact through the trash-can-sized transformer. And Amperion's Wi-Fi antennas wirelessly link the Internet signal to the customer before it gets to the transformer.
Such solutions were around a few years ago, but then they cost as much as $2,000 per home to put in service, says William Blair of the Electric Power Research Institute.
Costs recently have fallen to $50 to $160 per home passed, suppliers say. "The breakthrough is that cheaper silicon has made this possible on a large scale," says Amperion CEO Philip Hunt.
This is much cheaper than what cable and phone giants had to spend beefing up their networks with fiber or copper, as well as adding broadband gear. At first, they spent $750 to $1,000 per home passed, though costs lately have fallen to $200 to $400, Jupiter's Joe Laszlo says.
The less-leveraged power companies, thus, say they can charge $30 to $39 per month for speeds of 256 kilobits to 1.5 megabits -- comparable to cable and DSL. Yet Libby questions whether the services will slash data speeds to offer that price, just as cable and DSL firms are starting to do.
'A major business opportunity'
PPL, whose trial serves about 60 households in Allentown, Pa., is closest to a real-world service offering. "It's really a chance to offer high-speed service, especially to rural customers in northeastern and central Pennsylvania that don't have access" to it, says PPL spokesman George Lewis.
Other utilities performing trials are optimistic but have made no decision about service offerings.
And many major utilities around the USA simply are watching the tests with varying degrees of interest. "Assuming it works, as it appears it may, then there's certainly a major business opportunity," says Bill Muston research manager for Dallas-based TXU.
"We have a modest effort underway to understand the technology, but no firm plans to apply it," says Florida Power & Light spokeswoman Kathy Scott.
Some companies are considering becoming Internet service providers, but most plan to wholesale the service or simply lease their wires to the equipment suppliers.
"Our core business is electricity. Do we want to take on another thing we have no clue about?" asks George Jee, Con Edison's director of resource planning.
EarthLink, the No. 3 Internet service provider, is in discussions with several utilities to resell their broadband offerings. AT&T says it, too, may use the power grid to reach broadband customers.
Some utilities say selling broadband would merely be icing on the cake for other uses they see for a data link: to improve customer service by installing modems on meters and home appliances. It costs AEP 70 cents a month to read each of its 5 million customers' meters. Remote readings, Randle says, could save $42 million a year.
Other companies say data feeds can let them turn off air-conditioning during peak load times when a customer isn't home or know immediately when a customer's power is out.
Unanswered questions
Despite the optimism, challenges remain. While the trials have gone well, no one is certain how the electric and data networks will mesh if hundreds or thousands of customers are using both at the same time. Says Pepco's Demarest: "Does the speed slow down? Does it interfere with the (electric service)? So far, the answer is no."
Another hurdle -- though apparently a small one -- is regulatory approval. State regulators will likely ensure that utilities' unregulated broadband units pay adequate lease rates to use the wires of the regulated electric arm, officials say. Pennsylvania regulators endorsed PPL's arrangement last month, the first such approval in the nation.
And the FCC's Powell believes the service can be rolled out under rules that let unlicensed wireless services emit tiny amounts of energy. At worst, however, officials say, a waiver or slight change to rules or equipment standards might be needed.
So far, cable and phone companies profess not to be worried. "It sounds like they have an awful lot of work left to do," says Rob Stoddard, spokesman for the National Cable Television Association.
Maybe not that much. Stanton would plunk down as much as $40 monthly for the Pepco service. "I would swear by it," he says.
Efficient Networks Announces Retail Availability of Industry's First Powerline Home Networking Routers Certified By the Homeplug Powerline Alliance
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030107/datu009_1.html
Tuesday January 7, 8:05 am ET
New SpeedStream(R) Routers Lead the Market in Delivering the Flexibility To Create Reliable and Secure Home Networks That Mix Powerline, Switched Ethernet and Wireless Technologies
DALLAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Efficient Networks Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens Corp. and a global leader in digital subscriber line (DSL) customer premises equipment (CPE), today announced availability of the industry's first powerline routers to be certified by the Homeplug Powerline Alliance. The new routers include the SpeedStream 2524 Powerline Wireless Router that combines powerline, wireless and switched Ethernet technologies, as well as the SpeedStream 2510 Powerline Router which provides both powerline and switched Ethernet connectivity. Both routers are compatible with all of Efficient Networks' previously released network adapters including the Ethernet, USB and 802.11b wireless powerline adapters.
"The SpeedStream powerline routers break new ground in the home networking industry," said David Schmertz, vice president of the Home Networking Product Group at Efficient Networks. "They're the first powerline routers offered in the marketplace, they're the first powerline routers to be certified by the Homeplug Powerline Alliance, and they're the first routers to empower consumers with the ability to create home networks with a single product that combines wireless, Ethernet and powerline technologies."
With the new SpeedStream routers, consumers may use powerline technology to link PCs distant from the router, or even in remote locations such as outbuildings, by using a home's electrical wiring as a network. PCs closer to the router itself, may be directly attached to the router through switched Ethernet technology, while other laptops and PCs may be easily linked to the same network by using wireless adapter cards.
The SpeedStream 2524 and the SpeedStream 2510 are both built upon Efficient Network's proven router technology and advanced feature set, offering browser-based wizards for easy setup and configuration, built-in stateful inspection firewall security, and robust support for network gaming. The routers are also compatible with existing standards-based network adapters, so consumers can retain any investment they have made in Homeplug 1.0, Ethernet or 802.11b wireless adapters.
"For the first time, different users on a home network can make an individual choice about which networking platform makes sense for their needs, rather than be forced to use a common platform," said Dave Schmertz, vice president of marketing at Efficient Networks. "Some users on the network will find the convenience of wireless is ideal for their particular needs, while others may prefer the connection stability and higher throughput of powerline."
The SpeedStream® 2524 and 2510 will be available January 2003 in major retail and online outlets. Efficient Networks will be conducting a live demonstration of the new routers at the 2003 International CES in Las Vegas from Jan. 9-12 in booth 30196, LVCC SO 3&4.

Don't think about pulling the plug on SeaView Video Technology Inc.
http://tampabay.bizjournals.com/tampabay/stories/2002/12/09/focus1.html
That's the word from George Bernardich III, chairman and CEO of the oft-challenged underwater video technology company. It also focuses on security productions and applications developed to transmit voice, video, audio and data over power grids.
Benardich breathes a bit easier since publicly traded SeaView received an initial investment of $1 million in October. SeaView slowly has ramped up revenue, he said.
"You just take baby steps and keep building on the sales day by day," said Bernardich.
To turn baby steps into giant steps, Cory Tellbuescher, sales and marketing director, pushes SeaView's trademarked SecureView Light Bulb security camera on the Home Shopping Network LP.
Cable television proved beneficial in late 2002, and SeaView will take to the broadcast airwaves in 2003, said Bernardich.
"We need to broaden our distribution of our retail products and Home Shopping (Network) was really the first major step toward that coming to fruition," he said. "We were very pleased with the results, and consequently we are going to expand our television marketing presence."
New SecureView products for 2003 include Powerline Communication baby monitors, doorbell security systems and cameras for monitoring warehouses.
SeaView also plans to enter the transportation sector by offering Powerline principal vehicle system cameras, designed to replace semi-trailer fleet under carriage mirrors with day and night video systems.
"If we accomplish those things in 2003, in addition to the daily operational issues of raising capital and things of that nature, you could say SeaView could be a success in 2003," Bernardich said.
The former J.C. Penney Co. Inc. executive and his management team have faced challenges.
Together SeaView officials have invested more than $1 million of their money, own more than 24 percent of the company and didn't receive salaries in 2001, Bernardich said.
Bernardich followed in the footsteps of controversial SeaView founder Rich McBride who stepped down as CEO in February of 2001 and died in October of the same year.
As previously reported by The Business Journal Serving Greater Tampa Bay, SeaView faces an ongoing investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting inaccuracies under McBride's watch and accusations that the company hyped sales projections in McBride's news releases.
In addition, Bernardich faced a December 2001 class action by shareholders that claimed McBride misstated revenue.
In May, SeaView reached an agreement to settle the shareholders' suit. It will pay up to $125,000 for costs incurred by plaintiffs in the litigation and tender 6 million shares of common stock to class-action participants.
"The biggest challenge was just cleaning up all of the issues left by previous management," said Bernardich.
Bernardich calls patience a key business virtue.
"It takes time to execute a good business plan as the days of the boom market back three years ago are long gone," he said.

Holster that Drill, Cowboy SecureView PLC Video Products make retrofit easy.
by Cory Tellbuescher
http://www.hometoys.com/htinews/dec02/articles/secureview/cory.htm
Whether overt or covert, the PLC advantage is clear: Without the burden of additional cabling, and minus the hassle of installation, SecureView products turn potential retrofit nightmares into sweet dreams. And multi-channel, multi-camera systems are already in beta. Cory Tellbuescher cory@seaview.com is the Director of sales and marketing at SeaView Video Technology Inc.www.seaview.com
Every video-security installer can tell you a story about the retrofit job from hell. A story that usually begins with "It seemed pretty simple at the time," and ends with "...I wish I'd never even drilled that first hole."
Once the finish work is completed on new construction--especially after the owners have moved in--going back for a retrofit is a sure-fire way to induce panic in the customer and elevate your stress level.
Older homes can be even worse. One of my favorite stories is about a century-old farmhouse built from local timber. The plaster on the walls was as tough as reinforced concrete. Under the plaster, the lath boards were half-inch-thick black oak. The installer went through three drill bits and six saw blades just to flush in a single work box!
Sometimes we're overly tool-centric. Sure, your job truck can be an arsenal, fully stocked with weapons of mass construction. But you may find yourself in a losing battle--when you might have been able to win without a fight.
SecureView, the brand name for a line of PLC video products from SeaView Video Technology, Inc., gives video-security pros a new set of options in the retrofit wars. SecureView delivers live, full-motion video via the AC wiring.
PLC ("Power Line Carrier") has gotten a lot of attention in the last couple of years. While most of us are familiar with the wide variety of PLC controllers and switches, it's only recently that newer products have appeared with higher-level functions. SecureView is unique among PLC products, since it's focused strictly on video.
Video's Bandwidth Burden
Video is time-sensitive and bandwidth-intense. All NTSC video is made up of individual electronic "frames," sent at a rate of 30 frames per second (fps). The frames are interlaced, a technique developed when television was born in the 1930s. While modern technology is capable of progressive scan and higher sync rates, CCTV security products still rely on a standard set over half a century ago, optimized for the tube-circuit technology of the WWII era.
Digitizing this live video without compression generates a digital stream of 12 to 20 megabytes per second. Compression forces the user into making trade-offs between resolution and frame rate. The video must be stripped and squeezed to fit the "pipe."
IRFS: The SecureView Solution
SecureView uses a proprietary technology, IRFS™, to transmit live video via power line. Unique among PLC technologies, IRFS achieves a "double modulation" of the video signal, avoiding A/D conversion and compression. There is no compromise or trade-off between frame rate, frame size, and resolution. The signal at the decoder's video output is RS-170 compatible, and easily connected to a wide variety of video equipment, from standard consumer TVs and VCRs to commercial CCTV products. In the realm of video performance, no digitized solution comes close. And it's PLC technology, with no additional wiring or cabling required. The delivery system is already inside and outside of every building with electrical service.
The original SecureView PLC product, the "camera in a light bulb," combines stealth and convenience in an easy-to-deploy, relocatable system. Available in two styles--an indoor R-30 flood for ceiling cans and other fixtures, and a PAR-38 flood replica which is fully weatherproof--the SecureView PLC camera has been featured on ABC's Good Morning America, TechTV, and in Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. The camera appeared on Home Shopping Network in October.
System integrators and resellers can also choose from other form factors, including a "box set" which accepts the output of any RS-170 standard video camera. SecureView IRFS technology is also available in circuit-board form to qualified VAR's and resellers who build and certify their own stealth products.
SecureView PLC video is designed to co-exist with most PLC control technologies now being used; you should have no worries with conventional home-automation controllers. In some installations, as with PLC automation, signal bridging can improve performance.
Another plus: Unlike over-the-air "wireless" systems, PLC video is confined to the home wiring. Users are secure, knowing their video can't be "sniffed" by a neighbor or from a passing car.
Whether overt or covert, the PLC advantage is clear: Without the burden of additional cabling, and minus the hassle of installation, SecureView products turn potential retrofit nightmares into sweet dreams. And multi-channel, multi-camera systems are already in beta.
So holster that drill, cowboy. With SecureView PLC video, you're goin' home early tonight.

Consumers in trucks drive demand for backup sensors
Some automakers have begun using rear-view cameras to better detect unseen children and pets. Nissan's Infiniti Q45 sedan has an optional camera that shows what's behind the car on the navigation system's screen. Honda has a similar camera system standard on its Acura MDX SUV and charges $900 for it on the Honda Pilot SUV.
Buyers are frustrated to learn there aren't enough systems to equip all models and that they have to pay as much as $1,000 when they can find the option.
"Interest starts to decline when the price exceeds $500," says Frank Forkin at consultant J.D. Power and Associates.
Does anyone know anything about this quad processor that Southern Charm Catalog is offering?

SeaView dives into trucking industry
SeaView Video Technology, manufacturer of marine cameras and other technology, announced a new product line for the transportation industry. Using patent protected Power-Line-Carrier (P-L-C) technology, SeaView has built a new system that runs voice, video, audio and data communication over DC (Direct Current) power lines to add to their existing SecureView AC (Alternating Current) product lines.
Within the transportation industry, SeaView's new DC product line will initially be utilized on trucking and managed fleet vehicles to provide a "near-wireless" high-speed on-board video solution.
The system consists of two small environmentally sealed transmitter and receiver modules, for simple installation to a truck's existing electrical wiring harness. Video signals from a camera mounted on the vehicle's rear or side are transmitted to the video monitor mounted inside the truck cab. The receiver module uses a standard cigarette lighter adapter to power itself and the monitor while intercepting and converting the video signal which is transmitted within the wiring harness. SeaView's P-L-C technology will integrate with existing manufacturer's video product that provides a standard composite 1-volt peak-to-peak video signal.
SeaView is currently establishing channel partners for marketing and distribution of this advanced P-L-C technology into the transportation industry's trucking, commercial managed fleet, passenger/school bus and automotive vertical markets.

SeaView resurfacing
New blood: Leaders turn to new product line
Pamela Griner Leavy Staff Writer
ST. PETERSBURG -- The future of SeaView Video Technology Inc. in St. Petersburg now rests with George Bernardich III, Marty Traber, Bill Lougheed and Cory Tellbuescher.
Bernardich, chairman and chief executive officer, is a former J.C. Penney Co. Inc. executive who joined the ailing underwater video technology company in February 2001. He claims he's "scrubbed the company clean."
Traber of Tampa law firm Foley & Lardner represents SeaView. Bernardich said Traber's guidance has helped get the company where it is now.
Lougheed, formerly of Ernst & Young LLP, is now a technology auditor for Aidman Piser & Co. PA in Tampa. SeaView is a client.
Tellbuescher recently left NetWise Technology Inc. in St. Petersburg to become SeaView's director of sales and marketing. He's also co-chairman of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce Technology Council.
Despite the addition of local technology, legal and accounting talent, SeaView's most recent annual report to the Security and Exchange Commission paints a murky picture.
Bernardich described the Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31 as "about as much doom and gloom as you could possibly find."
The document shows a $2.8-million annual loss, a negative $23,235 in working capital and $5,233 in cash and cash equivalents. The report states that the company's ability to continue depends on additional financing and that is has raised $170,000 in capital since Dec. 31.
Meanwhile, SeaView remains under SEC investigation for fiscal year 2000 financial performance.
Despite the financial picture and the SEC investigation, SeaView is moving forward instead of looking back, said Bernardich.
SeaView's first goal is getting the technology out into the public eye so capital can be raised and a solid revenue base can be built, he said.
"I would say we are 99 percent there until the SEC finishes their review," he said. "Although if it was something truly negative, they would have shut us down a long time ago (if they were going to)."
Troubled history
SeaView's troubles began mounting in 2000.
Rich McBride, SeaView's founder, then faced accusations posted online by former employees that he hyped SeaView sales projections in news releases, a practice frowned on by the SEC under its Fair Disclosure regulation.
SeaView was located in Tierra Verde at the time, and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department was called to the company on more than one occasion about trespassing incidents, department records show. One incident on SeaView property included former staff members at a stockholders' open house. SeaView relocated to downtown St. Petersburg in February 2001.
In May 2001, SeaView was named a defendant in a consolidated class action against it and Rich McBride. The pending lawsuit consolidated five nearly identical class actions filed against the company alleging the mistaking of sales and revenue figures, and misrepresenting the nature and extent of the company's dealer network.
McBride died of a heart attack in October 2001.
Back to the future
But Tellbuescher is optimistic about SeaView's future.
The sales director touts products, including a "James Bulb" 007 high-resolution camera with infrared illuminators and a transmitter that can send a signal 2,500 feet over a standard television set.
Airport security systems and parking lot security needs offer extended markets for SeaView's surveillance products, Tellbuescher said. And he sees power line technology underlining SeaView's future -- the ability to offer broadband service through power grids, cable modems, cable television and telephone service, he said.
SeaView is working with Nevada-based Wire21 Inc., which holds a patent on technology that sends a broadband signal internally over a network, said Tellbuescher.
SeaView plans to send broadband signals over internal electrical networks and through power substation fiber systems, said Tellbuescher.
"What we hope to see with this technology is a final-mile solution through midvoltage power lines," he said. "What we are trying to do is light up that fiber and run a signal across those lines to the home that will give broadband connectivity."
Tellbuescher brings some energy of his own to the job and network connections, Bernardich said.
"It allows me to focus on some of the strategic things the company has to do, and he can focus on developing the sales revenue base," Bernardich said.
The CEO anticipates a company name change. "We will probably change the name of our company because it doesn't convey the business we are in, the power line technology business. We actually have the ability to translate voice, video data and audio over existing wiring."

New products: Secure view video camera
May 5, 2002
http://www.freep.com/realestate/renews/rd5_20020505.htm
One of the best new products I've seen recently is called Secure View. It features a miniature camera disguised to look like a floodlight bulb.
It uses Seaview Video's patented PowerLine technology called IRFS. What that means to us is that you don't need to install expensive wiring or cables throughout your house or business to use this security device. You just screw the bulb into a regular socket.
The bulbs come in two models. One looks like an outdoor floodlight and is waterproof. It's called Secure View SVS-A1. Model SVS-B1 looks like an interior bulb that fits in recessed or can lights. The manufacturer's suggested price for either light is $199, but they may be purchased for less at area dealers. A Secure View representative said the pricing information on the company's Web site -- www.seaview.com -- is outdated, but the site is useful for viewing products..
These innocent-looking bulbs contain high-resolution cameras with infrared illuminators. They send images through a house's 110-volt wiring back to a decoder (included in the price) that is plugged into a wall receptacle near your television or VCR. Another wire connects the decoder to your television or VCR. The company says the Secure View transmits clear images despite any line interference from peaks, dips or use of appliances.
The bulb has an 85-degree, wide-angle view and in daylight can project images from 100 yards away. In total darkness it can detect images up to 30 feet away.
Many companies make the "can be installed in minutes" claim, but this time it's true.

Safety has also been given much attention. The 30,000 lb. forklift has CCTV cameras with monitors to ensure boats are moved safely to and from the racks. Four standard underwater cameras from Seaview Video Technology, Inc. are also fitted. "This is an effective and relatively inexpensive extra," Emmanuel admits. "The cameras are totally waterproof and give the operator, who has monitors fitted on the forklift, extra security. The cost of the cameras could be more than covered if just one boat was damaged."

Tellbuescher leaves NetWise
Pam Griner Leavy Staff Writer
Cory Tellbuescher announced Wednesday that he is leaving NetWise Technology Inc. in St. Petersburg to join publicly traded SeaView Video Technology Inc. in St. Petersburg as director of sales and marketing.
Tellbuescher held the same position at NetWise and also serves as co-chairman of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce technology council.
NetWise was founded in 1999. Chris Tellbuescher, the company's chief operating officer, is Cory Tellbuescher's brother.
SeaView provided new opportunities, including the international marketing of its Automatic Meter Reader product, Tellbuescher said.
"It was a very difficult decision," he said. "NetWise helped me a lot. SeaView's a good opportunity I couldn't pass up."
SeaView trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol SEVU. Its stock closed Tuesday at 30 cents. Its 52-week range is 17 cents to $1.35.

Focus on Residential CCTV
Closed-circuit security cameras aren’t just for the rich and famous anymore.
By Richard Hahn
The SecureView camera from SeaView Video Technology Inc. also looks like a light fixture—a floodlight, to be specific—but the innovation here is not necessarily the camera's appearance. The SecureView screws into any standard light socket and uses the existing powerline to receive power (of course) and to transmit video. On the receiving end is a plug-in adapter with standard RCA connections for plugging into a television or VCR. Seaview has 23 patents approved and pending on its so-called Induction RF System, a technology that allows the video signal to "wrap around" the powerline, rather than transmit over the AC voltage. This approach to video-over-powerline allegedly eliminates noise that plagues other powerline technologies.
The black-and-white cameras, available in both indoor and outdoor models, retail for $359-$399 at online merchants such as SmartHome.com and Costco.com.
Seaview also makes an eight-camera video switcher ($18,583) with built-in hard disk for video recording.
Focus on Residential CCTV
Closed-circuit security cameras aren’t just for the rich and famous anymore.
By Richard Hahn
Snapshot
• Falling camera prices and better technology are making CCTV more practical for residential use.• CCTV systems are easier to sell and install at the same time other systems are being installed, like whole-house audio or structured wiring.
• Although CCTV may be a harder sell than other electronic systems, it can be an excellent source of profit for electronics professionals.
In addition to a home theater system, your customer wants an alarm system installed to protect his home and family. Is there anything else you can provide to enhance their security?
Yes. Offer residential closed-circuit television (CCTV) as an add-on. You’re already installing residential automation and networking, so residential CCTV is the next logical step. It’s still all about peace of mind and convenience.
Will your customer, who’s at work, know what happens when the alarm goes off at home? Is it a false alarm? Are the children in danger? Has someone broken in? Remote video through TV, computers and Web appliances allows your customer to know immediately. With the safety and security that come with this type of technology and the obvious tie-in with home entertainment, it’s surprising that more custom electronic professionals haven’t added residential CCTV to their list of services.
Still, the market is opening up and is receptive. With prices on cameras continuing to drop, residential CCTV isn’t just for large, expensive estates anymore.
If you’ve been installing CCTV in a commercial setting, you’re a step ahead—but there are differences. Residential CCTV systems require products that will not interfere with a home’s aesthetic design; a camera in a commercial setting, whether it’s an office building or warehouse, can be a neutral device that blends into the surrounding area.
Types of cameras are improving
The new dome and bullet cameras are sleeker and more attractive than ever before, although a dome might blend in better because of the shape and color. From a performance standpoint, both dome and bullet cameras are the same.
Weather plays a major role in the options for outdoor cameras, which have also become less industrialized and more attractive. In New York, cameras must come with a heater to keep the snow and ice off. In Florida, where rain and humidity are a consideration, the camera must be in some kind of weather-resistant housing.
Michael Remini, sales manager for Alarmingly Affordable in Staten Island, N.Y., uses the Pelco line for exterior cameras. “People like the way they look,” he says.
“You have to be very creative and sell the end user on the fact that this product will not blend in completely,” says Nick Labella, ADI’s product manager for CCTV. “Unless, of course, they want to go covert.”
With covert cameras, there are no limits. Cameras can be hidden in almost anything, and there are many companies selling covert cameras concealed in objects such as clocks, exit signs or even teddy bears. If an installer needed to, they could place a board camera inside an item that’s already in the existing environment and run a wire.
Applications range from covert to outdoor
Whether the camera is covert or overt, indoor or outdoor, there are a multitude of applications to suggest to an end user. Who's at the front door? Who just pulled up to the gate at the end of your driveway? How are the kids doing in the pool out in the backyard?
For instance, your customers may be sitting in the family room watching the big game on the home theater system that you installed. The doorbell rings and they switch the channel to view the front door. Simply by changing the channel, they can also check the baby in the nursery, watch the children play in the yard or even see who is pulling up in the driveway.
“If we get called to install a security system in a home with an infant, I suggest putting a camera in the baby’s room,” says Joe Ingegno, vice president of GC Alarms in Garden City, N.Y. “Nine times out of 10 the people will be interested and want to know what else we can do.”
“For the client who likes security, we can give him an intercom at the front door along with the cameras,” says Fred Leonardo, president of Electronix Systems in Long Island, N.Y. “We also put in driveway sensors so when someone is coming down the driveway, they can view it on their TVs or monitors.”
Integration with a custom install
With a camera modulator, installers can integrate the cameras into the entertainment system and allow homeowners to keep an eye on their home surroundings through any TV set and on any channel. “One wire back to a modulator and then we take the modulator signal and meld it together with the CCTV,” adds Ingegno.
By definition, a modulator converts composite video signals into RF video signals. These RF signals are then tuned or “modulated” to unused CATV channels.
That means that not only can different channels be assigned to each camera location and seen on each TV, but the TVs are also connected so a TV in a bedroom can pick up a movie playing on a DVD player in the family room.
Remote video monitoring can use ’Net
Cameras can also be set up outside or in any room of the house, and if both parents work, they can pick areas where the children will be most of the time and check on the kids remotely. The infamous nanny-cams have already alerted some parents to the dangers their children faced or have simply alleviated fears. Even if there are no children, some homeowners just want to check on the house, especially if they are having work done.
These cameras can be wired to the Internet and at any given time, from anywhere in the world, homeowners can simply type in an IP address and connect to that camera.
Ingegno shies away from the Internet applications and uses Rapid Eye, which is a direct dial-up application. We find it better than Internet video,” says Ingegno. “I may be prejudiced, but I find that if you’re in a facility that doesn’t have Internet access, Rapid Eye is much more versatile.”
In addition to TVs and computers, there are also new Web-only appliances on the market that can be used. Central stations are also adding remote video monitoring to their list of services, although slowly. With video verification, the hope is that there will be fewer false alarms and the authorities will have a better idea of the type of situation they are entering.
Black & white vs. color depends on light
The use of color cameras has spread in recent years and will continue to increase. Certainly most indoor installations now call for using color. The only applications that warrant a black & white camera are low-light areas, although many color cameras do have low-light capability. There are also cameras on the market that offer color during the day and black & white at night, assuring you of good video quality 24 hours a day.
“We mix black & white and color cameras,” says Ingegno, “With low-light areas such as the front door or baby’s room, you need a low-lux black & white camera.”
Placement and lighting concerns
When thinking about placement, your two main concerns are: “What am I looking at?” and “Where will I get the best field of view?” Because it’s a residence, you have to also consider how to run the wires. You might have the perfect spot, but if you can’t run the wires, you have to make the decision of changing the spot or going wireless.
There are also some other lighting considerations that installers should keep in mind. Obviously, you can’t face a bulb or light directly into the camera or you will get blooming, the halation and defocusing effect that occurs around the bright areas of the picture. If you can’t get light behind the camera, there are infrared illuminators, but they only work with black-and-white cameras.
Storing images is easier with digital
It’s usually a big step for homeowners to choose to store images, and residential CCTV is way behind commercial customers in this area. Many customers are using standard VCRs because they are already in the house. The few who are buying VCRs specifically for storage are buying 24-hour or one-week machines and changing the tape every day or once a week. Some choose not to tape at all unless there is an incident.
“I think we will see that change as we see digital video recorders take over and video archiving options become more available,” says Labella.
Some companies are offering archiving as a service through the Internet. In addition to viewing live images, customers can sign up to have the company record and archive video images for a set period of time. Customers can then view the images through a password-protected Web site.
Is residential CCTV profitable?
In the midst of all these changes, the big question for custom electronics professionals, as with any new business venture, is whether residential CCTV is profitable and worth adding to their list of services. “Absolutely,” says Labella. “But it’s one of the harder sells although there’s plenty of money to be made.”
Because residential CCTV is new, customers don’t have a specific point of reference with which to compare it. With no national company currently offering residential CCTV systems at a low price, it’s still an open market.
“If you want to get into residential CCTV, get into new construction,” advises Remini, who has a great relationship with builders in his area. “It’s easier for installers and less labor so it’s less costly for customers. I usually meet with the homeowner once the house is sold and during the construction phase. They tell me what they want and I’ll wire it for them.”
For existing homes, Remini advises installers to look over the jobs very carefully. “If you don’t know how to run the wires you’re going to lose money on the labor. Otherwise, it’s very simple. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist.”
Getting started means education
Most custom electronic professionals can draw a parallel and learn from what they are already doing. With video over twisted-pair you can set up the camera just as easily as a PIR.
“It’s a really simple install,” says Leonardo. “Especially when you can buy an intercom package. And it’s an easy add-on sell.”
As with any other product you have to be familiar with what you’re selling. “Get all the information you can from your local distributor,” suggests Labella. “Use brochures so you can show your customers what the cameras look like. Since it will be in their home, they will want to see it, touch it and put it up on the wall, so have a dummy camera or real one on hand as well.”
Attend as many seminars and training classes as you can. Residential CCTV seminars are limited, so although the ones you attend might be geared for commercial applications, you can still learn and apply the information for residential purposes. [CE Pro]

SIDEBARS
I Spy Great CCTV
True, CCTV cameras keep getting smaller, cheaper and more weather resistant. But that's been about the extent of the innovation in the past few years. At the recent International Security Conference, CE Pro was pleased to discover some fresh ideas in CCTV that should interest residential installers.
CBC (America) Corp., aka Chugai, may not be a household word to CE pros, but the company has been a leading player in the commercial realm since 1960. CBC just released a line of stylish indoor/outdoor cameras that even the most discriminating decorators would admire. Housed in an anodized aluminum case with stainless steel hardware (silver is standard, but custom colors are available), the CXH Series cameras look like contemporary light fixtures. The coax cable, which provides both video and power, is concealed in the swivel bracket. The 12-ounce unit features non-corrosive materials and an O-ring-sealed housing that makes it impervious to rain, sleet and snow. Lenses are available in color and black-and-white, with various focal lengths and iris types. Dealer cost for the cameras starts at $802.17.
The SecureView camera from SeaView Video Technology Inc. also looks like a light fixture—a floodlight, to be specific—but the innovation here is not necessarily the camera's appearance. The SecureView screws into any standard light socket and uses the existing powerline to receive power (of course) and to transmit video. On the receiving end is a plug-in adapter with standard RCA connections for plugging into a television or VCR. Seaview has 23 patents approved and pending on its so-called Induction RF System, a technology that allows the video signal to "wrap around" the powerline, rather than transmit over the AC voltage. This approach to video-over-powerline allegedly eliminates noise that plagues other powerline technologies.
The black-and-white cameras, available in both indoor and outdoor models, retail for $359-$399 at online merchants such as SmartHome.com and Costco.com.
Seaview also makes an eight-camera video switcher ($18,583) with built-in hard disk for video recording.
Crow Electronic Engineering offers the perfect retrofit CCTV-recording solution. The MemoCam, which looks like a large PIR, is in fact a covert camera with built-in PIR and recorder. The standalone device snaps a picture automatically upon activation of its internal motion detector or external contact. An optional RF remote can also trip the camera. The unit has a slot for a standard memory card, which records up to 6,000 images. To access the pictures, simply remove the card from the camera, slide it into a memory card reader and upload the photos to a connected computer via USB.
The black-and-white version sells to dealers for $565; a color version is expected by the end of the year.
If there's such thing as a cute CCTV, you can find it at the ProVideo division of CSI/Speco. The company makes plenty of tiny cameras, but one of the nicest innovations is a series of mini cameras with motorized panning. The indoor units—available in both black-and-white and color, bullet- and ball-shaped—have an adjustable scanning range of rotation from 10 degrees to 270 degrees. Each package includes a power supply, remote control, cable and mounting rack.
A black-and-white system retails for less than $300; color is less than $400. —Julie Jacobson
