"News reporter" Lori Fullbright is technology challenged - she obviously doesn't understand the difference between a transmitter and a receiver. Maybe they don't teach such subtleties as "fact checking" in journalism school anymore...
You might wreck your vehicle!:)
no, socialization.
I don’t understand this, since that’s not how wireless radio transmission works. If you get two signals at once, they will more or less destroy each other. This is why having a plethora of 2.4GHz devices in the home is bad for interference. The only way this could happen is if his camera isn’t transmitting.
Har!! Good one! That actually hurt.
I’m in the security industry though more IT than physical at this point. You would be surprised how easy it is to gain access to a business or home via a garage door opener. In my house, the opener is powered off and only turned on at the time it is needed to be opened and done so via hardware.
Many people do not know that with a fairly simple radio receiver and some basic electronics knowhow, a person can build a receiver that will “read” your garage door opener’s code.
Ha! Thank you.
How hard is it for people to reach the “Shift” key?
Seriously, what do "black helicopters" have to do with the fact that my garage door transmitter might open the garage doors of other careless people?
Quite possible. Many people wire those cameras to the reverse lights 12v circuit, so they don't transmit continually - just when you're backing up.
I was in Claremore over the weekend. If a bald guy in Sponge Bob boxer shorts having a Coors Light shows up on camera - it wasn’t me.
BTW- Is channel 6 KOTV? I usually watch KTUL.
For a long time (and maybe still at some stations) television weahtercasters use a wireless garage-opener remote to change maps, Doppler, etc. on their graphics machines.
Don't get any ideas. You have to be fairly close to affect them.
What, you mean like have a little trouble steering with *the club* sticking through the steering wheel? (Okay, that was bad)
I would assume that his camera is only transmitting when his vehicle is in reverse (that's the way mine works). When he's driving forward he shouldn't be getting interference from his own camera.
Anybody else see the slight flaw in this advice?
"HARD WIRE."
If there is an electric signal, there is a piece of equipment that can pick it up. I remember about fifteen years ago working inside the corporate offices of a major financial institution that Federal laws required computer connections to be shielded. Ordinary wiring could be read from outside the building. Don't know what the state of the art equipment is but I'm sure the spooks have it.
What if he tapped into the backup lights to get the power for the camera? The camera would only transmit when the truck was in reverse. The receiver/display, OTOH, is taking it's power from the cigarette lighter. It is free to receive any and all incoming signals.
I hardly watch any of them.
I watch it on Cable 53 because it is easy to switch back and forth with 52(Fox).
Years ago some kids on my street came to my door and said, “We found one of your car keys.” I hadn’t lost one and the one they had didn’t look like mine. I asked them how they knew it was mine and they looked guilty and then said, “We tried it and it worked.”
“What, you mean like have a little trouble steering with *the club* sticking through the steering wheel? (Okay, that was bad)
BOL! Now you are bragging!:)
if you need a camera to back up your trailer, you’re a girlie man.
