These Celebrities Have Some Great Money-Saving Ideas For You
These Weird Things That Jennifer Aniston Has Done for a Quick Buck Will Make You Gasp
Financial Adviser By Carol Richards October 30, 2019
We have loved Jennifer Aniston in many of her brilliant performances over the years, especially her portrayal of the character Rachel Green in the extremely popular TV sitcom Friends. But what many of us did not know is the fact that, before she became a millionaire, Aniston was earning money by cutting other people's hair and that too for $10 per cut.
Looking back at photos of when Jennifer Aniston was still very young, it can easily be said that the actress hasn't shown many signs of aging over the years.
Aniston revealed this very interesting detail about her part when she appeared on The Ellen Show, hosted by America's sweetheart Ellen DeGeneres. During the Burning Questions segment of the show when Ellen usually asks her guests some very interesting questions which they must answer as quickly and truthfully as possible, Ellen asked Jennifer about the weirdest activity that she had ever performed in her life in order to earn some extra cash.
She Used To Cut Hair For Money
To answer Ellen's question, Aniston decided to reveal a very interesting fact about her past. She said that when she was in the ninth grade, she started offering a haircut service whereby she was charging $10 for every cut that she gave.
Now we are not sure why Aniston decided to reveal this fact about her life. It could be that she really wanted the world to know that she has some experience in giving haircuts (although we are not sure what good that will do), or she revealed it accidentally as she had to give an answer as quickly as possible.
Aniston was the first guest to be invited on The Ellen Show, as both Aniston and DeGeneres share a close friendship in real life as well.
Since Ellen also has to give her own response on all the questions she asks in the Burning Question's round, she responded to this one as well. According to Ellen, the weirdest thing that she had sold was vacuums, and although she could be joking about actually having done it, this still pales in comparison to Aniston's hair-cutting experience.
Famous For The Rachel
It may be karma or just her good luck, but when Aniston was cast in Friends, she was given a haircut and style which suited her character, Rachel.
This unique style was so well received by the audiences that they wanted their own hair to be cut and styled in the same way, and so many women started approaching their hair stylists with the request of cutting their hair to make it look like Rachel's hairstyle on the show. This style eventually came to be known as The Rachel, named after Aniston's character on the show, and it became a very famous look in the '90s.
According to reports, Aniston was not the biggest fan of The Rachel, even though it became one of the most popular haircuts in America during the 90s.
Other Weird Things Aniston Is Fond Of
On the same show, Ellen asked Aniston another question which prompted a response from her which again raised a lot of eyebrows. Ellen's question highlighted the three most common occasions when a person is usually not wearing any clothes, namely during intimacy, while bathing, or when swimming, and she asked Aniston to name one more instance when she prefers to be not wearing any clothes. Aniston replied by saying that she is not wearing anything while watching TV, clarifying that she watches TV at night when she is in bed, and she prefers not wearing anything at that time.

That's the number of hours that the defender, captain of Liverpool FC Women and newly-announced brand ambassador of Joie Baby, travels to attend training.
It would be impressive in isolation, but there are two other important facts to consider.
As well as being the mother of a young child – 17-month-old Macie – Bradley-Auckland is the general manager of Edenhurst Rest Home in Nottingham.
Despite the remarkable workload for the 29-year-old, she has established herself as a point of reference for LFC Women during this transitional campaign for Vicky Jepson's side, being ever-present since her arrival from Doncaster Belles back in July and scoring two goals along the way.
Her average working day begins at 6.30am, when she'll spend some precious time with Macie before taking her to the childminder's then travelling on to Edenhurst, which is owned by her parents.
There, Sophie checks in on the residents – who she describes as more like family members – before setting off on the long drive from the East Midlands to Merseyside.
Later, she arrives home from training just in time to put Macie to bed.
"I guess it's not the usual start to a day for a professional footballer," Bradley-Auckland, who represented England at the 2011 Women's World Cup and Team GB at the 2012 London Olympics, tells Liverpoolfc.com.
"But, for me, it's so important. Macie is my world – my everything – and football definitely comes second to her, but the work at Edenhurst is so important to me because I lost my previous playing contracts through injury, which meant at the time I had nothing to fall back onto.
The injury she refers to was a devastating one; Sophie tore her ACL and damaged the cartilage in her knee back in 2014 while playing for Notts County Ladies.
Three knee operations and three years on the sidelines would follow before her football career finally resumed in Doncaster, where she helped the Belles win Women's Super League 2 last season.
"Being injured is of course a lonely time," said the centre-back. "I found myself constantly in the gym, unable to train with my team.
"I needed something aside from football; mentally, I was struggling, it was a difficult time. My family were a massive support for me during that time and it's also when I went into the care home to start work full-time.
"I'd always worked there, ever since I'd left school, but that's when I really stepped in. I said to my dad that if I did get back playing, I would still continue working at the rest home. The place had helped me so much that I wouldn't want to just leave it to one side.
"I then started my NVQ Level 5 in management so that I could take over from my dad. Everyone says I'm crazy and they don't know how I do it, but I've always been driven, always known what I want to achieve and never settled for anything less.
Many female professionals delay starting a family until their playing career is over, but Bradley-Auckland believes her story can serve as a positive example for those in a similar position, proving that one does not necessarily preclude the other.
"I knew I could get back to playing football but didn't know if a top club would take me on being a mum and having to go to work before training each day," added the Liverpool No.6.
"But coming to Liverpool was like a breath of fresh air; they've really understood and helped with my situation.
Macie accompanies her mum on away trips with the team and was a mascot when Liverpool took on Manchester City Women at Prenton Park in November.
Far from being a burden, Sophie's responsibilities – for the young and old – provide the energy that powers her through the day.
"It's just second nature," she concluded. "I don't see it as a job, for me it's just something I love doing.
It is these caring, family values that make Sophie the perfect brand ambassador for Joie.

Well here I am a newbie, and in over my head already. My small town pulls out all the stops for Canada Day. One of the popular events, is for kids to dress up in fire fighter gear and get thier pic taken in a firetruck. Well guess who volunteeted after nobody else was available. It will be point and shoot as apparently kids line up and wait to get their pic done. Memory cards and then passed back and fourth and printed in double quick time. The advice I am looking for is tips on getting candid smiles, and happy faces. I was wondering if I should compose on angels, or just try to offset the subject 2/3 with the steering wheel etc. It's the rushed timing that has me most concerned. Any thoughts, ideas or experience, most welcome. Thanks in advance.
No experience here. I would think maybe offset, with a firefighter or someone in a uniform that the kids would warm up to..and shoot from a bit back over his/her shoulder where you are not really the focus of the kid's attention....making sure the fire person knows where you are shooting from and not getting in your way??
A slight angle tilt would look nice, and I usually ask kids what their fav music is etc. If there is a boy and girl in the truck together, ask them if they are "married" that usually makes them giggle.
Thanks so much for your ideas Robert and Natalie. I will try them both. It's so nice to have support from the BetterPhoto community. Such a great group of people.
WELL HERE ARE A FEW - WE WERE NOT PREPARED WITH FLASH ECT.
WE WERE ON LOCATION AT THE BANNING STAGECOUCH DAYS, AND THE FIRE DEPT. PULLED IN NEXT TO THE PORTABLE STUDIO WE HAS THERE FOR VINTAGE PORTRAITS.
NEXT THING WE KNOW THE CITY DIRECTOR IS THERE ASKING US TO TRY TO PHOTOGRAPH, ALL THE KIDS COMING UP - THEY WERE DRESSING EACH ONE AND WE HAD SUCH A LINE!
BECAUSE THIS WILL BE HAPPENING MY EXPERIANCE TELLS ME THIS: OF COURSE YOU WANT TO ALWAYS TRY TO ANGLE THE CHILDS BODY AND THE TRUCK IF YOU CAN-BUT WITH SOMEING LIKE THIS, YOU REALLY ARE STUCK WITH WHERE AND HOW THEY PARK THE TRUCK(AS YOU CAN SEE WE DID NOT HAVE THE BIG TRUCK,AS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE)AND BECAUSE YOU WILL BE WORKING WITH VERY EXCITED KIDS ( AND PARENTS,LET'S ADMIT IT WE ARE THE WORST)- YOU MAY NOT GET THEM TO POSE AT THAT ANGLE YOU'D LIKE-JUST HAVE FUN AND DO THE BEST YOU CAN!!!PLEASE! ALL THEY REALLY WANT IS A PICTURE WITH OR ON THE FIRE TRUCK.
OH AND LETS NOT FORGET THE BEAR-HERE'S SMOKY!
I AM SO SORRY- I ALMOST FORGOT-PLEASE,PLEASE DO BECARFUL IF YOU ARE USING A TRIPOD WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE AND KIDS AROUND YOU PROBUBLY RELIZE THIS BUT FOR SOME THEY HAVE NOT WORKED IN THIS TYPE OF VENUE- FAIRS , SCHOOLS, AMUSMENT PARKS AND PET STORES ARE ALL PLACES WHERE A TRIPOD COMES IN REAL HANDY- BUT THEY ARE ALSO THE PLACE THAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS FOR YOUR CAMERA.
WE HAVE HAD LIGHTS, BACKDROPS AND UNFORTUNATLY CAMERAS HIT THE GROUND IN THESE TYPES OF VENUES-HAVE HELP STAND NEXT TO IT-BARRACADE IT-BUT I TEACH THAT IF YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE TRIPOD-THE CAMERA BETTER GO WITH YOU.
Thank you Debby for all your advice. So nice to hear from someone with experience. Thanks for all you tips. And yes I have decided to stop stressing, and have fun. Our town has a new ladder truck, they will show it off, so yes I get the big truck. Your tripod advice was well taken. My digital SRL was a very big gift from my husband, and would be hard to replace if lost. I think I might just revert to my Kodac Easy Cam. Like you said, it's all about a decent pic with the truck. I appreciate all your comment, Betterphoto has such a wonderful community, and great support for amatuers like me. Watch for a pic on Friday night, that is if I have time before the fireworks start. Thank you so much again for your time and experience.
Good luck to you - and Happy Canada Day!! I'm from Montreal - how about you?
If the day is bright and sunny make sure to use your fill flash to add some light to your subject.
Thanks so much Dianne. I am in Carleton Place, 40kms west of Ottawa. Happy Canada Day to you. Hope you have some fireworks to shoot.

Supernormal: The Open Workshop
3 January 2020 – 18 January 2020
3 January 2020 - 18 January 2020
101 Desker Rd
The Open Workshop references the traditions of process art, where processes in art-making are not hidden but a prominent aspect of the completed work. This will take the form of an exhibition, each work accompanied by a workshop headed by the artist. This format addresses the gap between art and technology where audiences often fail to see the conceptual relevance between art and technology and the social implications surrounding it.
Set against the growing trend of using technology in the arts, the exhibition aims to demystify the role of technology in art-making, providing a lens to reveal the inner workings of this exhibition. Participating artists include Cao Zhiyi, Bani Haykal, Joo Choon Lin, Teow Yue Han, and Denise Yap.

Romance in Rarotonga
History - Cook Islands
Cook Islanders are believed to be related to New Zealand Maori and the Maohi of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. Historians believe the first wave of Cook Islanders migrated from the Society Islands to the Cooks around 500AD. Later, the land was divided among six tribes, each one headed by a tribal king or high chief (Ariki). Today, every member of Cook Islands Society belongs to one of the six family clans.
Spanish Captain Alvaro de Mendana is thought to be the first European to sight the Cooks when he sailed by Pukapuka in 1595. British Explorer Captain James Cook passed through the region on his expeditions of 1773 and 1777, but Rarotonga was not discovered until some time later, when Philip Goodenough of the Cumberland landed there in 1814.
The first missionaries arrived in 1821 when Rev John Williams landed on Aitutaki, followed by Papeiha, a Christian convert from Raiatea in 1823. Despite missionary influence, the hierarchy of Ariki remained intact, although European diseases decimated the population.
By 1901, all the islands had been annexed by New Zealand and eventually became self-governing in August of 1965. Today, strong ties remain between the two countries and all Cook Islanders hold New Zealand citizenship.
Renowned as a friendly outgoing people, Cook Islanders retain a strong sense of their heritage and traditional ways. They have a huge talent for and love of music and song, and are famous throughout the Pacific for their dancing.

Special delivery: RR cars arrive in Alna
Stephen Piwowarski
Parlor car "Rangeley" arrives. Courtesy photo
On July 16, Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway received a special delivery: two railway cars as part of an exciting partnership with Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company and Museum of Portland.
The second car to arrive was Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes' "Rangeley," the only two-foot gauge parlor car built for a U.S. railroad. "Rangeley" was built mainly to carry resort-goers. Passengers traveling from distant cities would change trains at Farmington to ride the narrow gauge to reach the resort at Rangeley Lake. The parlor car service allowed passengers traveling in first class to travel in the style they were accustomed to on the last leg of their journey.
The move was historic in many respects, but especially because it was the first time WW&F locomotive 9 (former Sandy River and Rangeley Lake 6) had shared the same rails in 95 years. To celebrate, locomotive 9 was in operation to help unload the car. A small group of well wishers and railway enthusiasts gathered.
The partnership between the Alna museum and Maine Narrow Gauge will guarantee display and preservation for historic railway cars from Maine's narrow gauge railway network and allow select pieces of equipment to operate on WW&F Railway. Visitors can look forward to the arrival of more pieces of historic equipment throughout the summer and the construction of a new display building.

Even better, if you do decide that you love the wheels so much that you can't live without them, we can't say that we'd blame you and we'll be happy to sell them to you at a discounted price. We'll also subtract one rental fee from the discounted price for a used set and 2 rental fees for a new set.
Race Day Wheels will be at the majority of the IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 events, so if you're looking to hit a PR this year, lock in your carbon wheels now while they're still available.


This 18 mile long stretch makes Pine Island the largest island in Florida. It is a glimpse into Florida's past. It has 5 charming communities; but no high rise condos or 5 star resorts. Some of it's waterfront homes overlook Pine Island Sound; probably some of the most majestic views in Lee County.
On the way to Pine Island, you drive through the artsy village of Matlacha - where colorful galleries, bars and restaurants make this a destination.
Technically, this is unincorporated Lee County, so folks like the ability to park boats and RV's on their land.

The representative office of the Siberian coal energy company (OAO "SUEK") in Japan has started work. Y.Mizuma heads it up. He has experience in coal industry. He worked with the company BMA (BHP Billiton and Mitsubishi alliance), the world leader in coking coal production.


Quick question, I lost (broke) my good LED last week and I am just left with a cheap 300w LED.
I've been growing for a couple of years and the LED was a great light for flowering but I cannot afford to replace it like for like, my back up plan is to have the cheap LED in the tent alongside 4 x 2300w CFL lights.
Has anyone on here ever used LED & CFL's for flowering, the CFL's work great in veg but I've read a few negative things about them for flowering?
Are your CFL's the red/orange colour as opposed to the blue white which are used for veg?

I have done it by hard work and long hours, by making it evident that I was available for whatever was to be done; by welcoming every opportunity for new and more responsible duties; and by accumulating all the experience possible in all the varied aspects of my profession.
-Lester Pearson, in his memoirs, 1972
Such a philosophy led our 14th prime minister from playing semi-pro baseball for the Guelph Maple Leafs, to the highest position in Canada and to the presidency of the United Nations. Yet he never lost the easygoing, friendly aspect of a rural Ontario boy; indeed, it was exactly this manner that won him the trust of so many nations and led him to win one of the world's highest honours.
Lester Bowles Pearson was born in Newton Brook, Ontario in 1897. His father was a Methodist minister who moved frequently, so Pearson and his brothers were schooled in Peterborough, Aurora, Hamilton and other small Ontario towns. In 1913, he went to the University of Toronto to study for a general B.A. Two years later, in the midst of his studies, he enlisted. Pearson served two years as a medical orderly in a military hospital in Salonika. In 1917, he requested a transfer to the Royal Air Force and went to air training school in Hendon, England. He survived an airplane crash during his first flight, only to be hit by a bus in London during a blackout! Pearson was invalided home in 1918.
He returned to the University of Toronto and graduated in 1919. After a year in Chicago at a meat packing plant and then a fertilizer company, he was offered a scholarship at Oxford University. There, Pearson distinguished himself on the Oxford hockey team. He returned to Canada in 1925 and taught history at the University of Toronto.
While doing research at the Public Archives in 1927, Pearson was invited to join the Department of External Affairs. He came first in the departmental exams and was appointed first secretary. During his 20-year career in External Affairs, Pearson proved himself a natural diplomat. He was hard-working, quick to comprehend complex issues and his congenial charm quickly disarmed potentially hostile negotiators. Recognizing that any successful compromise must spare all parties from humiliation was his secret to effective diplomacy. The Liberals lost the election in 1958 and St. Laurent retired as prime minister. Pearson was elected Liberal leader and served in the Opposition during the Diefenbaker years. In 1963, the Liberals won a minority government. An attempt to win a majority in 1965 was not successful and the Liberals continued with the support of the Social Credit and New Democratic parties.
Governing under such circumstances is never easy, and Pearson's party endured scandals, bungled budgets and the contentious flag debate. His conciliatory approach which had proved so successful in diplomacy did not always translate to politics. Pearson's efforts to accommodate all views were often interpreted as poor leadership and a lack of direction. Nevertheless, his five-year legacy is very impressive: a new flag, the Canada Pension Plan, universal medicare, a new Immigration Act, a fund for rural economic development, and the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism which led to the foundation of a bilingual civil service. The Centennial celebrations of 1967 awoke Canadians to their great heritage and reflected the optimism that signified the latter years of Pearson's government. One of his great talents was recognizing ability in his colleagues: three future prime ministers were all members of his 1965 Cabinet. In 1968, at the age of 71, Pearson announced his retirement from politics. He returned to the academic world and lectured on Canadian foreign relations at Carleton University, while writing his memoirs. Pearson died in 1972, but his "Liberal dynasty" lived on in his former Cabinet ministers, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, John Turner and Jean Chrétien, Canada's 15th, 17th and 20th prime ministers.
Lester Pearson served in Greece and England during the First World War after which he continued his academic studies. Under the King administration, he started a long career in the Department of External Affairs. He gained much experience in international relations in his various duties in the office of the High Commissioner for Canada in England, as ambassador to the United States, as chairman of the NATO council and as president of the United Nations General Assembly.
In 1956, Pearson was the Secretary of State for External Affairs in the Liberal government of Louis St. Laurent when Egypt's president Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the company that controlled the Suez Canal. There were concerns that Egypt would restrict which nations could use the canal. In October 1956, Israel, Britain and France invaded Egypt. The Canadian government opposed the use of force, as did the Americans. Pearson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for his proposal to establish a United Nations peacekeeping force to resolve the dispute. He is the only Canadian to have received this honour.
As prime minister, Pearson met with U.S. President Johnson in January 1965, to sign the Auto Pact, which eliminated the tariff on cars, trucks, parts, and accessories moving in either direction over the border. This reversed the auto trade imbalance, which had favoured the Americans, and in the long term, the Auto Pact was hugely beneficial to Canada. It has been described as a significant move towards North American economic integration.
In 1967, during Canada's centennial year, many notable foreign dignitaries visited Canada and in particular the site of the Universal and International Exhibition in Montréal or Expo 67. For the most part, these visits went smoothly. The notable exception was when Charles De Gaulle, the president of France, addressed a crowd in Montréal and said, "Vive le Québec libre!" (Long live free
Quebec!). Pearson made a televised public statement, saying that this comment was unacceptable; Canadians were already free. This diplomatic incident cut short this famous general's state visit, who returned to France without going to Ottawa. Also in 1967, the government adopted a screening process for immigration called the points system. The selection criteria gave preference to immigrants that knew English or French, who were able to work and who were well educated.

Vietnam: At a glance
Vietnam (sometimes abbreviated SRV) is a sovereign country in East/Southeast Asia, with a total land area of approximately 310,070 sq km. The conquest of Vietnam by France began in 1858 and was completed by 1884. It became part of French Indochina in 1887. Vietnam declared independence after World War II, but France continued to rule until its 1954 defeat by communist forces under Ho Chi MINH. Under the Geneva Accords of 1954, Vietnam was divided into the communist North and anti-communist South. US economic and military aid to South Vietnam grew through the 1960s in an attempt to bolster the government, but US armed forces were withdrawn following a cease-fire agreement in 1973. Two years later, North Vietnamese forces overran the South reuniting the country under communist rule. Despite the return of peace, for over a decade the country experienced little economic growth because of conservative leadership policies, the persecution and mass exodus of individuals - many of them successful South Vietnamese merchants - and growing international isolation. However, since the enactment of Vietnam's "doi moi" (renovation) policy in 1986, Vietnamese authorities have committed to increased economic liberalization and enacted structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive, export-driven industries. The communist leaders, however, maintain control on political expression and have resisted outside calls to improve human rights. The country continues to experience small-scale protests from various groups - the vast majority connected to land-use issues, calls for increased political space, and the lack of equitable mechanisms for resolving disputes. Various ethnic minorities, such as the Montagnards of the Central Highlands and the Khmer Krom in the southern delta region, have also held protests.

Pay for news? More than half of Americans say they do
Associated Press— May 8, 2017
A battered news industry can find some flickers of hope in a survey that gauges public willingness to pay for journalism.

NEW YORK – A battered news industry can find some flickers of hope in a survey that gauges public willingness to pay for journalism, as long as its leaders plan judiciously.
A little more than half of American adults regularly pay for news, through newspaper and magazine subscriptions, apps on electronic devices or contributions to public media, according to the Media Insight Project, a collaboration between the American Press Institute and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
It's not only greybeards, either. Although they're less likely than their parents' generation to subscribe, close to 4 in 10 people under age 35 also pay. Younger people are also more likely to express a desire to support a news organization's mission as a reason for subscribing, the project's study found.
On the other hand, young adults who don't pay for news are especially likely to say they're just not very interested in the content that's for sale.
"We sense a shift," said Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute. "There's this perception that people don't want to pay for news, especially young people, because they can get things from social media… We found that's not true."
A quarter of people who confess to regularly tapping a news source for free said they'd be at least moderately likely to pay for the information if they had to pay.
Chicago resident John Ashford subscribes to a handful of news organizations online, partly because of the work's importance. He said the truth behind a police shooting near where he lived likely would have remained hidden if not for reporters digging into the story.
"People don't have the time and the money to investigate what is going on," he said. "You have to have somebody to do it."
Nearly one in five Americans donate money to at least one nonprofit media source, such as public television or radio, or a digital news site such as ProPublica, the study found.
The New York Times saw slow and steady growth in its digital subscriptions from 406,000 at the end of 2011 to 1.09 million at the end of 2015. During 2016, the number of subscriptions shot up to 1.85 million, the Times said, a spurt contrary to President Trump's assertion that the Times is "failing."
Even before the postelection controversy over fake news, the Times found new subscribers who were concerned about the reliability of some stories they saw online and "they understood that you get what you pay for," said David Rubin, senior vice president and head of brand for the newspaper.
Rather than simply tout what a subscriber would receive, the Times is running an advertising campaign that focuses on the news organization's mission and the importance of journalism, including one that shows the dangers faced by a photojournalist covering the conflict between Iraqi forces and the Islamic State.
The newspaper also recognizes the importance of building a relationship with subscribers, instead of simply making sure an article is seen by as many eyeballs as possible, Rubin said.
Three-quarters of newspaper subscribers say they primarily read the product in print, while 21 percent said they see it online, the study found. News executives can't afford to focus on one type of consumer at the expense of another, Rosenstiel said.
The biggest reason people choose to subscribe is because they believe a news organization excels at covering issues they care about. Executives looking to cut costs need to consider the importance subscribers place in quality, he said.
"Spreading the pain equally so you get a little worse at everything is probably a bad strategy," he said. "You've got to be more surgical."
The poll of 2,199 adults was conducted Feb. 16 through March 20 with funding from the American Press Institute. It used a sample drawn from NORC's probabilitybased AmeriSpeak panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
Respondents were first selected randomly using address-based sampling methods, and later interviewed online or by phone.

True RF Integration The VisionRFDome is provided as a fully integrated unit – all the RF technology is within the dome housing reducing installation time.
Wireless Transmission The very latest in video and data transmission technology is used to achieve 'point to point' or 'point to multipoint' wire-free transmission of video and telemetry signals.
Frequency Range The VisionRFDome operates at 5.8 Ghz for video transmission and 868 Mhz for telemetry transmission, avoiding the congested 1.4 to 2.4 GHz frequency range often used.
Multichannel video The VisionRFDome has dip switch selectable channel identification, enabling multiple VisionRFDomes to operate independently in one network.
Pre-fitted Antennae The VisionRFDome comes pre-fitted with 3dB, 5.8 Ghz and 2dB, 868Mhz Antennae for fast installation requiring no specialist set up.
OFCOM compliance The 5.8 Ghz frequency range for 25mW video transmission is licence exempt in the UK.
Receiving Equipment The receiving equipment can be supplied as a 1 to 4 channel video and telemetry, including either omnidirectional or directional antennae.
Multi Protocols Integration The VisionRFDome range integrates fully with all leading DVR, Matrix and IP Transmission products simplifying system specification and design.
Creative Privacy Zones 32 privacy zones are available with simple joystick positioning and sizing.
Mount Options Wall and Swan neck mounting options are available.
360 Vision has introduced the VAT plug and play installation units to compliment the VisionRFDome range. VAT plug and play have bee designed to streamline the installation of microwave video transmission and digital telemetry systems. They consist of 1-4 channel video receivers and single channel telemetry data transceivers for PTZ control. They are housed in IP65 external enclosures ready for installation and come complete with all antennas and mounting brackets.
OSD enables 360 Vision and any third party matrix, transmission or DVR products to remotely access the functionality and set up a configuration of the VisionRFDome. OSD means dome functionality is not compromised depending on the control equipment used (like most open protocol solutions) making the VisionRFDome ideal for use in new and retrofit installations. Remote set up features include "reset", "gain and lift" and all other video adjustments. First level maintenance can, therefore, be achieved remotely, without the need for expensive site visits.
400,000 position stepper motors make the VisionIPDome's operation extremely quiet as well as giving it as a highly accurate return to preset positions.
