There are many different types of CCTV camera and these all have slightly different benefits and uses. The old fashioned CCTV that many of us will have seen in shops and restaurants then now looks quite out-dated and isn’t something that you would use for a larger business with more space under surveillance and more valuable stock and assets.

The limitations of analogue CCTV are many they require wiring up, they can only record from one camera at a time, and they leave you with VHS tapes that you need to fast forward and rewind for long periods of time in order to look through. All this means that a digital camera is much more useful.

A digital camera is a camera that stores files on an internal storage or on a storage card of some sort, and these files can then be edited and manipulated like any other file on a computer they can be compressed to reduce size, they can be sent over an internet network and you can skip through them to any point. The fact that the camera is digital then means that you can use software to analyse the footage and this enables you to record only when there is movement on the screen for instance, or only when there is human looking movement. However some digital cameras still require wires and this is what sets an IP camera apart.

Essentially ‘IP’ mean ‘Internet Protocol’ and this means that the IP camera itself is able to connect wirelessly to a network and to send and receive files this way. This in turn then means that you don’t have to have wires all around the building in order to set it up. This is of course much easier to use and means that it can be far more versatile. At the same time though it also means that you can pick up the footage from anywhere if you have an internet connection and that means you can watch your IP camera footage from home or on business trips. This is then on top of all the other features that come from having a digital camera in the first place so you can set up your cameras in such a way that they record only if there is something interesting happening, and so that they alert you to that fact. You can then watch the footage remotely and decide whether you need to go and inspect it further.

Lastly another option is to get VoIP which means ‘voice internet protocol’ and which gives you yet more features. Essentially this allows you to speak through your IP camera so that you can speak with your staff or clients and direct them or so that you can ward off trespassers. At the same time it also means that you can hear through the camera and that then means that you are able get a better picture of what is going on on the premises. Not all IP CCTV however will be VoIP enabled so you need to look into this if it’s something you want.

The western riding saddles have been used since the days of the very first cowboys. It has been a staple in many western movies and was the favored saddle of the true American cowboy John Wayne. They were so comfortable that even the early Spanish vaqueros preferred the use of these saddles. These western saddles were the first work saddles and performed with excellence. There are many features of this type of saddle that are important and require a good fit for both the horse and the rider. One of the most important features of the western riding saddles are the tree. The tree of a saddle is used to distribute the weight of the rider evenly so that it is not centered on one location of the horse. The tree of the western saddle is built in several different shapes and sizes to ensure a good fit for horse as well as the rider. In order to make sure that the tree fits correctly, you want to make sure that it is straight.

To determine this, you want to check to see if the horn lines up with the middle of the cantle of the saddle. You also want to check that within the design, the horn and cantle are lined up symmetrically with the saddle panels. Another important feature of this type of saddle is that it is lightweight. The reason for this is due to the fact that in the early days of western riding saddles, they were used for long periods of time each day. Whether riding for pleasure or herding livestock, the days could be long. This meant that comfort was especially important. In knowing this, seat fit and position is essential. You want to make sure that the saddle is just the right size for the horse. Make sure that cinches are long enough to reach all the way around the girth of the horse. The saddle pad is also very important to the western saddle. You want to make sure that it is not too thick or thin. A saddle pad that is not right for the horse can put unwanted pressure in the wrong areas of the horse and make the saddle to feel unstable. When choosing western riding saddles, make sure that it fits you as well as the horse. An uncomfortable saddle can make for an unpleasant ride, making the day just drag on. Choose a western saddle that focuses on the key features of the saddle and has the appropriate tree height and shape to match the width of the horse.

If you are looking for a cat breed that won’t mind if your children decide they want to play dress up, you may want to take a look at the Ragamuffin cat breed. These cats are very tolerant of children and other pets and will allow children to play games that would have other cat breeds and even many dog breeds running for cover.

The same characteristics that make the Ragamuffin such a wonderful family pet make it a bad choice for people who are not home for long periods of time. This breed thrives on attention and enjoys ‘helping’ its family do routine household chores, such as putting away groceries or folding laundry. Spending a lot of time alone can make your cat very unhappy. After all, a cat breed that will ride around in your child’s doll carriage or attend a tea party obviously loves plenty of company and attention.

The Ragamuffin is one of the biggest cat breeds, weighing in at a very hefty ten to twenty pounds. Although these cats have larger than normal bones, part of their weight also comes from their tendency to carry a bit of extra fat on their bellies. This breed has a big, solidly built body, a wedge shaped head that is a bit round and large eyes that are so expressive that many people say that their cats seem to talk with their eyes. This breed has a long, gracefully tapered tail that is covered in long hair, giving it a bushy appearance. You can find the Ragamuffin in almost any coat color and any pattern. However cats with points can not be shown.

The Cat Fancier’s Association classifies the Ragamuffin as a member of the Miscellaneous class. This cat breed is the only one currently in this category. As the breed becomes more established, it will eventually move to the Provisional class. While the Ragamuffin can be shown, it can not receive any ribbons or awards until it moves from the Miscellaneous class and into a different class.

Ragamuffins have long hair with an extremely soft texture. Despite the fact that these cats are longhairs, the silkiness of their hair makes them easy to care for. This breed is not prone to developing matted hair and one of these cats only needs to be groomed about once a week to keep his coat looking beautiful and tangle free.

Since these cats have a tendency to carry a few more pounds than necessary around their stomachs, you may need to keep a close eye on your Ragamuffin’s weight. If he grows too overweight, you should ask your veterinarian about feeding your cat a weight management cat food. Except for this weight problem, this cat breed has no hereditary health conditions and is an extremely healthy breed overall.

If you want a large, gentle cat that actually enjoys being around children, then the Ragamuffin is the perfect breed for you.

Many dedicated hosting providers won’t allow game servers to be hosted on their network. This article provides some insight as to why this is the case.

Game servers generate a lot of data transfer

Gaming servers are very bandwidth intensive. Compared to hosting a web application, game servers generate a constant flow of traffic over long periods of time for each user. To ensure that the game play is good, the servers also work best with low latency or fast networks, in other words, good quality and local bandwidth. Because of the large amount of bandwidth consumed, hosting costs become high along with price sensitivity.

Business customers or Individuals?

Typically most game server operators are individuals rather than established businesses. Most dedicated hosting companies however are very much focused on providing services to businesses. Businesses by nature tend to have a level of dependence on services, and a level of tolerance for disruption to services that is very different to that of individuals. One of the major costs of providing services for gaming servers is bandwidth. Running a network that meets the needs of businesses and the budget of individuals is complex challenge.

Cheap vs Quality Internet connections

For a hosting provider to deliver a good service they need to operate a network that is fast and free of congestion. Users tend to tolerate their own Internet connection slowing during peak usage periods and congestion and contention ratios on an ISP network is common. From a web hosting perspective however it is seldom tolerated. A slow link means a bad experience for every potential customer that finds the hosted application. Providing a quality service from a network perspective means:
Low latency Internet connectivity Internet connectivity that is always free of congestion (in normal operation) Good Internet connectivity to domestic peers – ie not routing bandwidth via international carriers Minimal outages Redundant network links. Constant monitoring for faults Rapid response to any service degradation

It’s very difficult to do all of the above and do it at a low cost.

At Anchor we used to quote on game server hosting and we never managed to land a single client. The prices we discovered we were competing against were most often well below our cost. We can only assume that the bandwidth didn’t come with all of the features above.

Load on the network infrastructure

For every Mbps or GB of data transfer on a network, gaming traffic by nature generates a higher amount of load on switches and routers. Router load is generally proportional to packet count rather than octet count. Gaming traffic typically consists of a very large number of very small packets (ie, lots of packets and not many octets). This increased load increases the infrastructure cost component which in turn demands higher prices on a service which is already very cost sensitive.

Liability for DoS attack

Unfortunately operating game servers on a hosting network presents an increased risk of DoS attacks. When the competitive element of a game spills over into the real world and results in a not so happy gamer triggering a DoS attack against the source of the problem, the network suffers and all of the other customers would suffer. This is a risk many web hosts are not prepared to take.

Gaming as a pastime vs Gaming as a business model

There’s absolutely no doubt that there is money to be made out of hosting online games and there are many examples of very profitable companies doing this. World of Warcraft, Runescape etc etc. Such examples however provide game hosting as a business with very carefully calculated models that ensure the hosting costs are supported by the revenue that the operations generate.

Hosting a game server so that you and your friends can play together in a responsive environment is a very different prospect. Likewise even if end users are paying to access the game server, the number of users need to be very large before hosting costs of quality bandwidth can be covered.

Specialist game server providers

There are companies that specialise in the provision of game server hosting. I think it’s fair to say that if a hosting company provides game server hosting it will be actively advertised on their website. The absence of such adverts, or an article like this one, should be a pretty clear indicator that game server hosting is not their thing.
