Airline crewmembers benefit from automation in the cockpit and at home

n the world of aviation, the word automation is term all crewmembers are familiar with. From the most basic aspects of automation such as utilizing an autopilot to sophisticated fly by wire, computer driven aircraft systems, the role of automation is to make a pilot's job easier by reducing the work load in the cockpit. Most new aircraft today have glass cockpits, computer driven systems and hi-tech navigation systems.

Modern aircraft are built today with automatic functions that perform certain actions without the pilot's input. Once again this helps to reduce the work load for crewmembers and enables them to work more efficiently.

As a crewmember who appreciates the benefits of automation, there are ways that automation can benefit us in our home and business lives. With technology today, our lives have been greatly enhanced. Everyone has experienced automation in some form or another. The latest and greatest high tech gadgets are offering more in the ways of automation for the home or business owner more than ever before and has become more common place. Some of the more popular and inexpensive automation products are made by X10. X10, a company in business for over 20 years, utilizes X10 technology. X10, simply stated, is a protocol that enables electrical signals and impulses to be transmitted thru current household electrical systems to carry out a function or series of functions

For a complete break down of how X10 works, go to www.x10captain.com for a detailed description. How do crewmembers benefit from this technology specifically? X10 electronics help to automate your home, just like in the cockpit, to help your home run more efficiently. X10 can help save you money on your utility bills, help keep an eye on your home across the world with wireless cameras via the internet, help turn lights and appliances on or off at your command or automatically plus so much more. You can create a smart home and make life easier all while protecting your home and your family.

Do you want to keep an eye on your home or business even when you're miles away? Do you want to make sure that you're family or any other valuables are protected and secure? Do you want to know right away if something seems amiss? Do you want to have this ability without having to spend a fortune? All of that can be done with a wireless security web camera.

Wireless cameras have been around for some time now. The cost range can be significant from different manufacturers. Fortunately, X10 has come up with some great solutions for consumers. All of the new cameras offered today are not only high quality but are also inexpensive compared to other companies.

These wireless cameras are easy to install and set up. The software that comes with the device allows you to view up to four live video feeds from four different wireless cameras with an interactive software program called i-watchout. This software allows you the flexibility to pan, tilt and zoom your cameras from anywhere in the world you have internet access. You can also share video with friends and create up to four secure guest accounts. The personalized web address allows for you or anyone else that you choose, to access the camera for remote monitoring. All you really need is an internet-capable computer and you are ready to view and control your wireless cameras in minutes.

There are several options for your camera setup. You can set the cameras to work autonomously or at your command. One individual I know purchased a sentinel camera, one of x10 higher end models, for their business and set it up to operate continuously during business hours and on motion sensors after business hours.

There are 3 recording options available for your cameras. The first option allows you to record video at the rate of 1 gig per hour. The second option is to purchase a special VCR recorder from x10 that enables a max recording time of 1048 hours before having to swap out the video tape. The third option is to use a standard VCR and that provides you with 8 hours of recording time.

Keep your home and business safe by watching over it from anywhere that has access to the internet. A wireless security web camera lets you keep a keen eye on your surroundings anywhere from your living room to your bedroom or to your office. Keep your family safe and secure even when you are miles away.

In addition to security cameras, X10 offers a Security system that can be setup to monitor your home without having to pay installation fees or a monthly fee from a security company. The security system monitors all windows, doors and has sensors to monitor movement.

The good news is that you will never be charged for false alarms as the alarm companies often do. Anytime your alarm goes off, you can designate at least 4 contacts that the system calls in the event the alarm goes off. Compare this to monitored, expensive alarm companies that will call the owner and the police but only after a period of time. By the time you or the police are notified, your home could have very easily been looted or vandalized by then. This security system can be programmed to call you, the neighbor or someone close by that can take immediate action if an alarm goes off. Combine this with your security cameras to monitor what is taking place when the alarm goes off and you have a system that can offer you peace of mind.

There are several package deals available all for an affordable price. Your security cameras can be utilized to watch your home, see who is approaching your property, who is stealing from you at work, or simply to watch over the baby's room. The possibilities are endless.
