Dolby 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 What's the Difference?

With respect to home playback, the terms 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 mean that there are five, six, or seven main speakers, plus a subwoofer, in the playback system. (The subwoofer reproduces the LFE channel recorded on 5.1 soundtracks, plus any bass the main speakers cannot handle.) The difference is in the number of surround speakers: two in a 5.1 system, three in a 6.1 system, and four in a 7.1 system.
Obviously, a 5.1-channel soundtrack can be played on a 5.1-speaker system. But it is not always understood is that it can also be played on a 6.1- or a 7.1-speaker system. To do this, the two surround signals on the 5.1 soundtrack are spread across the three or four surround speakers. This distribution can be accomplished by a Dolby Digital EX decoder, a THX Surround EX decoder, or other proprietary methods provided in home theater equipment by various manufacturers.
So the number (i.e., 5.1) describing the soundtrack does not have to match the number applied to the speaker system.

Wireless Home Security and the Babysitter

You may like the idea of keeping an eye on the babysitter or other hired help, but if you were to reverse the scenario, how would you like finding out your employer has been secretly watching you at work? Nanny cams and other types of hidden surveillance cameras can present an ethical dilemma. On the one hand, you want to know that your kids are safe with whomever you leave them with, but what about watching the maid to make sure she doesn't steal? As a homeowner, home video surveillance may simply seem like a good home security measure. Is It Legal To Use A Hidden Camera? Yes, it is indeed legal in all 50 states to use a hidden camera. However, it is illegal to record speech without a person's consent in the following 15 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Studies and polls show that many care providers are not necessarily against video taping of child-provider interaction, it's just that they want to know about it. It seems to be a matter of trust and feeling of deception.

More daycare centers are installing cameras and even provide parents with the ability to spot check and watch their child while at work. Some facilities provide parents with a real-time access to watch happenings in their child's classroom via the internet. Parents report that while they often don't use it all the time, it's nice to be able to log in and check on their child whenever they desire.

Prestige Video Systems Wireless Security Camera System provide a versatile Surveillance System that adapts to your ever-changing needs. With no wires to run, We’ll have your system fully operational in no time.
