Happy Howl-i-days Pet Photo Contest

Happy Howl-i-days Pet Photo Contest

Here at Security Today, we’re decking the halls with photos of our pets, and we want you to catch the spirit of the holidays, too! Enter your pet in our Happy Howl-i-Days Facebook Pet Photo Contest for your chance to win a Sweet Peek video baby monitor graciously donated by LOREX!

Fellas, we know you adore your buddy! Why else would the dog be nicknamed “man’s best friend?” Snap a picture of your best friend—dogs, cats, birds, fish and other pets welcome—and send it on over!

And ladies, it’s time to break out the cute little Santa hats, reindeer antler headbands, elf hats and adorable sweaters for your pet and get to snapping some pictures!

How to Enter:

  1. Simply email a creative holiday photo of your 4-legged family member, or 2-legged if you have a bird or no-legged if you have fish or…well, I think you get the idea…to Ginger at [email protected].
  2. Brag a little about your pet, and tell me why he or she loves the holidays.
  3. Be sure to include your pet’s name, your name and email addy. (All personal information will be kept confidential!)
  4. Have your friends, family, coworkers, etc., the more the merrier, come on over and “like” your pet on Security Today’s Facebook page in the “Happy Howl-i-days Pet Photo Contest” album.

The pet photo with the most likes by December 31, 2013 will win a Lorex Sweet Peek video baby monitor, and a little surprise for your pet, too, for looking so dang cute! And, as a bonus, the winning photo will be featured as our Facebook cover photo, along with our logo, of course!

**Disclaimer: Can’t use the baby monitor? Consider giving it as a gift to a friend or family member OR donate to a nonprofit organization! ‘Tis the season for giving!

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come.

It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
