Aimed at both students and seasoned users, this book will take the reader though the peripheral interface controller (PIC) like no other text. PICs have been described as the hobby chip of the '90s due to their ease of use. Hardware and software are also discussed in detail. Topics include: physical appearance, electrical structure, software requirements, hardware requirements, prototype layout boards, simple PIC programmers, PIC instruction set, use of the Microchip tools including MPLAB and Technical Library, software applications, software codes, and 8-10 PIC projects.

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing how to set up and maintain an effective surveillance system! Perfect for do-it-yourselfers, Electronic Surveillance Devices contains all of the information needed to enhance the safety and security of a home or office, from safeguarding against theft to monitoring employee performance and preventing illegal activities from occurring on site. This how-to and reference manual begins by introducing the latest in video and audio surveillance system technology, including both surveillance and counter-surveillance equipment. Subsequent chapters guide readers in selecting the best surveillance devices for home or office security while encouraging them to take into account important system design issues, such as: power supply considerations, camera locations and disguises, use of telephone lines, VCRs and computer network systems, and more! Unique requirements for surveillance in remote locations are explored fully, and a glossary is included to help readers navigate through technical terms and industry jargon with ease. Legal concerns, as well as the pros and cons of covert vs. overt surveillance, are also addressed.
