New York, New York (PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- Surveillance Video now offers the Videocomm MXR-5842C wireless camera for sale to consumers. Measuring only 1.4" x 2.9" x 2.2", the camera is small and therefore ideal for covert applications.

Furthermore, this economical indoor camera can be battery powered.

Certified by the FCC, the MXR-5842C emits wireless transmissions at 5.8GHz so there is no conflict or interference from 2.4GHz devices, such as wireless internet routers. Real time, high resolution video signals are transmitted at an operating distance of up to 1,000 feet line of sight or up to 300 feet indoors using the fixed omnidirectional antenna. The transmitting range can be increased with the use of an optional receiver.

According to Videocomm, this "wireless 8-channel selectable camera sends video from locations normally not possible, convenient or economical. Weighing less than 85g, this camera draws under 150mA of current and is ideal for scenarios where only a battery source is available." Suggested applications include offices, warehouses, retail stores, and nurseries. It is also ideal as a nanny camera or as a floater camera (a camera that can be moved around as needed).

The MXR-5842C features a color 1/3" Sharp CCD at a resolution of 420 TV lines. It requires a minimum illumination of 1.0 Lux. The camera comes with a universal mounting bracket, an AA battery pack holder, a 12VDC power supply, and battery snap cables. It has a one year limited warranty.

Jun 15, 2007 - (PRLog.Org) - TEMPE, AZ - LifeLock CEO Todd Davis has announced a partnership with Water and Power Community Credit Union (WPCU) of Los Angeles for employees and members to protect their identities. LifeLock, the leader in Identity Theft Protection, will offer significant savings to employees and members of WPCU to guarantee their good name.

"We are pleased to partner with Water and Power Community Credit Union to share the many identity theft prevention options that exist, including preventative services provided by LifeLock," said Davis. "Water and Power Community Credit Union is our first partnership with a major credit union and we are thrilled to be able to help them bring this issue into the spotlight while also providing an affordable prevention tool."

Employees and members of WPCU will have peace of mind knowing that LifeLock is working on their behalf, protecting their identities from thieves. As the leader in Identity Theft Prevention, LifeLock enables "locks" by setting and automatically renewing fraud alerts with the major credit bureaus, removing member names from pre-approved credit card offers and junk mail lists and guaranteeing the service with their industry-exclusive $1 Million Guarantee.

The Los Angeles metropolitan area registered nearly 17,000 complaints with the FTC for identity theft in 2006, up more than 1,000 from 2005. More than 48,000 complaints have been filed with the FTC in the Los Angeles area since January 2004. In 2006 alone, identity theft cost Americans $1.1 billion dollars, the highest amount ever.

"We understand the threat that identity theft poses to our employees and our members and we needed to find the best way to protect them," said Carl E. Stewart, President and CEO of WPCU. "LifeLock is so confident in their services that the CEO publicly gives out his personal Social Security number. That is the type of security that is most logical to protect our members."

Pastoral Press Prints Prison Ministry Book

Book on Prison Ministry Authored by Capella University Doctoral Student

'Prison Ministry: Hope Behind the Wall' is first book by Dennis Pierce, a PhD student in the online university's School of Human Services

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the prison population in the United States continues to swell, it is more important than ever for prison rehabilitation programs to have a working blueprint for dealing with the shame, humiliation, and loneliness of incarceration. Dennis Pierce, a teacher/counselor with Jefferson County Juvenile Detention in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and a doctoral student at Capella University, has written a book that offers a new approach to rehabilitation that is based on his 30+ years of experience working within prisons, in the criminal justice field and working with youth/young adults. Pierce is pursuing a PhD in human services at Capella University (www.capella.edu), which is an accredited, online university with more than 19,000 students.

Published by The Haworth Pastoral Press, Prison Ministry: Hope Behind the Wall presents a practical approach to reconciliation to help inmates develop self-esteem and an overall feeling of self-worth. It provides a resource for corrections professionals, chaplains, pastors, priests, and students working or interested in criminal justice, ethics, or counseling.

Some of the topics included in the book are:

    * meeting the incarcerated
    * defining prisons' emotional ethos
    * dealing with human breakdowns
    * oppression in maximum-security prisons
    * components of empowerment needed for prison ministry

The book also includes case studies of four inmates and a glossary of prison terms. According to Pierce, it is particularly targeted to those working with incarcerated youth and young adults.

A former chaplain at the Joliet Correctional Center in Illinois (where the television series "Prison Break" series is filmed), Pierce says the book offers approaches to rehabilitation that he personally has seen work.

"The juvenile justice system is failing our young adults. People don't understand what needs to happen to change this. If you leave them locked in their cells . warehousing them, nothing will happen. But if you engage them, things will happen," Pierce explains. "What this book shows is what can happen if someone takes an interest in these young men. Things can change."
