Why don't airplanes have video cameras installed?

Some of them do.  Lufthansa announced several years ago (following the 9/11 attacks) that they were installing video cameras to record cabin activity.  Southeast Airlines (a US-based charter carrier) made a similar announcement in 2003.  Why don't cameras exist on ALL airlines, then?  The answer is that the camera's aren't mandated by law and therefore it's up to each carrier to decide for themselves if they will use surveillance cameras or not.  Airlines compete heavily for passengers and they never want to do anything that would make passengers uncomfortable and seek other airlines, so it may be that factor contributes to the decision as well.  In any case, video cameras DO exist on some airlines.\n\nHope this helps.

Although it would be appreciated. because of what we have to carry a VHS machine isn't as portable as a mini DVD with its own screen.  I spent some time in Iraq and carrying some DVD discs was by far more convenient to throw in my ruck than when I went to Bosnia in the 90's and hauled around the platoon's collections of VHS tapes.

Obviously, camera(s), how many is entirely up to you.  There are some companies that offer hosting and monitoring service for you, much like what you would use for your home security system.  However, there is the other option of doing it all yourself.  \n\nDo not let the latter strike fear, as it is a lot simpler to do than one might think.  Doing a quick search for web based video monitoring and you get a (for the lack of a better word) grand list of options for you to try.  \n\nAs for the camera type, you are really going to want to go with one that has no need for a PC to function (own built in server), were you basically plug in the Internet connection and your there (of course there are some configuration steps to go through, but said items do come with the necessary manuals).  Unfortunately these can get pricey as you include more and more cameras.\n\nAs an example for the alternative where a PC is on location, LookC Ltd., out of the UK, sells several options, mainly aimed at full blown security, but they  can easily be adapted for the purpose that you are needing it for.  \n\nAs for sound...hrmm...I honestly do not think that you can include sound in this method...but a further search into web based monitoring could prove me wrong on that.\n\nI do hope this helps you out in your task.

Userplane has an audio/video recorder that will do that - you can check it out at http://www.userplane.com/apps/videoRecorder.cfm

I just bought a digital video camera and it can be done.  You need a IEEE 1394 firewire connection to your computer and just hook the camera up.

Almost all real-time sattilites are owned by the Military.  They don't want to share their technology with the general public.  They have a vested interest to protect their capibilities.  There hasn't been enough commercial demand for real time photos.  Plus, realtime only works when the sattelite is directly overhead.  Consumer users would have no control over what they see, or how far they zoom in, ect.

If you are referring to the Airplane's computer system, it controls most aspects of flight in commercial airlines, including navigation.\n\nIf you are referring to people using laptops and notebooks on an airplane, many people need to keep conducting their business while in-flight, some want to watch their own movies, some play video games to pass the time.  Which were you looking for?

Most of them, yes.  \n\nBut you can't go to radio shack and buy software to control tripod mounted gattling guns.  But it does exist.  Distribution would be limited to people that would actually have a legitimate reason to purchase them.\n\nSame goes with infrared or deep radar imaging systems, 3-D rendering systems, etc.  They do exist.  However, Hollywood did jazz up some of the capabilities beyond what some of the techologies will do.

Hi,\n\nYour camera came with software to record video. Your DVD came with software to make your DVD look like a hard drive or floppy to allow you to record data to the DVD like you normally would a hard drive or floppy.\n\nI've never done it before (I might try it and see if there are any issues).\n\nThere is no technical reason you can not do it. You just need to make sure you do not try to record video too fast. A few frames per second or slower (1 frame per second or slower would allow you to record for a longer time).\n\nGeorge

You need video capture software.

It sounds improbable that 4 million cameras have been installed.British Police might have installed some cameras for watching terrorists and preventing lawlessness.George Orwel may be crying in grave but situation since his days has changed needing hard options.As long as innocents are not harmed there is nothing wrong in this

it's most probably because your camera doesn't support the WMV files that the media is written in. most cameras i think use mpeg so you would have to convert the files from WMV to MPEG. I may be wrong but it's almost certainly down to the file type that the files are encoded in.

Difficult to say because of FAA concerns that the use of wireless devices will somehow interfere with the navigation equipment or other electrical stuff on the plane. I don't forsee having it for several years.

At work we use a piece of software by the name of rapid eye. Depending on the rights that the users are given you can do this. Besides just being able to see security cameras, you can also setup different zones to give off alarms and so forth. I am not sure how big of a business you are talking about or how much you want to invest, but it works for us and we have over 100 cameras running on it at a time. You can also write the video off to a hard drive for future playback.
