There was ICE on the Himalayan Mountains !!!

Words like Snow and Ice are spoken all over the world for the last few decades.. Scientists continues to give warning about just one the many effects of GLOBAL WARMING. What is worse for the Himalayas is that this one excess does nothing to pause and little to hide gradual warming of the range.
According to the latest studies temperatures in the Himalayas have been risen by 1.0 C leading to the highest rate of glacier retreat anywhere in the world. If the present rate continues , the snows on the mountains will disappear by 2030.The Rivers like Indus, Ganges, And Bhrahmaputra take their source from the Himalayan glacier lakes.
The reason:
While all are very much known to the issues on dissappearing snow in the Himalayas, and so reasons as Global warming. The increase the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere results to globlal warming.There are steps we can take to reduce global warming.
Steps we can do to reduce global warming:
-------------------------------------------------
  • Avoid burning plastics:- Burning of plastic emits huge amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
  • Use compact fluorescent bulbs:- Replace 3 three freequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs thus avoid level of CO2.
  • Change the AC filter:- Clean or replace dirty air filters as recomended. save 350 lbs of carbon dioxide per year.
  • Use recycledpaper:- Makesure printer paper i s100% post consumer recycled paper.
  • Cut down meat consumption:- One steak burns 100 lbs right from the start from storing, cooking, and throwing bones.
  • Buy minimally packaged goods:- Less package could reduce your garbage by about 10%. Save pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

Global warming is an unfortunate fact of life that we are learning to deal with. Unexpected levels of snow fall and climate changes have become common. We are the people who take action against this. It may not be possible to stop the changes on a sudden but it is possible to slow the changes to rescue our own earth.

IP Video Monitoring

The need to feel secure touches all aspects of our everyday lives. Education, transportation, healthcare, government, enterprise and retail have all been forced to reevaluate their security needs and the necessity of investing in the newer technologies and video surveillance.

Imagine - while in your head office you are monitoring your mulitple branch offices located any where in the world. Imgaine - that the culprit who is nabbed much before commencement of the crime thus saving precious lives and valuable property. From video recording and aiding in the apprehension of criminals to preventing crime altogether, IP Surveillance systems used as a deterrent. All this and much more ahead of of imagination can be achieved via IP based Video Surveillance Systems.

IP video solution that provides monitoring and surveillance; digital video capture; real-time viewing; remote monitoring and management; recording; and archival/retrieval. Installation has also been made easier. With the IP based architecture, the system could be simply integrated into your current network, saving both time and money. With a range of peripherals that include cameras, network video recorders, servers, displays, storage and software.



IP video surveillance functions includs:
--------------------------------------------

  • MOTION DETECTION—Real-time alerts of significant events such asunauthorized entry.

  • ALARM HANDLING—Interface with access control and alarm systems; e-mailnotification upon alarm trigger.

  • TIME STAMPING—Makes searches quick and easy.

  • LOCAL PROGRAMMABILITY—Each camera (or group of cameras) can beprogrammed for a specific requirement.

  • DIGITAL SENSOR INPUTS—Triggers the transmission of images upon alarmtripping.

  • DIGITAL RELAY OUTPUTS—Can be used to remotely or automatically open orclose doors, turn lights on or off, or a number of other possibilities.

  • CAMERA CONTROLS—Pan, Tilt and Zoom to better secure a large locationThe IP Security Monitoring system can easily integrate an existing analog CCTVsystem into an IP-based solution with the use of Video Servers.
