In his 30-plus year career as a professor at New York University, Jay Rosen says he can’t remember a time when the relationship between journalists and the White House was more poisonous or fundamentally undemocratic than it is under President Trump. “I don’t think there are many parallels to what we’re seeing now,” Rosen said. “There’s so much about this situation that is completely strange and busts […]

SecuritySpy is a very full-featured program that can support a wide range of camera types. Back in 2013, I showed how to build an Internet-centric, mobile-enabled video surveillance system using HD video transmitted over in-wall power lines.
