Atlas Security Camera

You might think you live in a safe neighborhood and you are safe from crime, but all it takes is one burglar to destroy your life.

Burglaries in the U.S.

Almost 2.5 million home burglaries happen each year. One out of every three residential assaults results from burglaries. The chance of having everything stolen from your home is too high to ignore. The average loss from a burglary is $2,251. That is only the average amount lost. You can be losing way more than just $2,251 when your home gets burglarized.

But my home is safe!

Even if you think your home is safe because there will be someone home or you think you know the people in your neighborhood, you can still be targeted. The majority of break-ins are by burglars who live nearby. They know what you have in your home as well as any weaknesses in your home. In nearly 30% of the burglaries a household member is present. Just because there is someone home does not detract determined thieves from attacking your home.

What helps protect me?

A home security system is essential in combating burglaries. About 60% of convicted burglars said that the presence of a home security system caused them to target another home. When you have a home security system, you are not worth the risk and trouble for burglars to steal from your household. The Atlas store has small night vision weatherproof cameras as well as hidden cameras to help provide you with the security you need. Our night vision camera utilizes a high quality color CMOS sensor for crisp, clear images even when visibility is low. Burglars will leave your house alone when they see that they are being monitored and they can be potentially identified if they attempt to attack your home. This is the perfect safety measure for your household.

Understanding Humidity and use of Dehumidifiers

Understanding humidity is the first step in finding the correct dehumidifier for you. Today, we will cover everything you need to know about dehumidifiers so you can purchase one that suits all your needs.

What is humidity?

In order to understand humidity, we need to realize what humidity refers to. There is absolute humidity and relative humidity. Absolute humidity is the measure of moisture in the air regardless of temperature. Relative humidity is the measure of moisture in the air relative to the temperature. It is the percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum that can be in the air. The concept of absolute humidity is not very important because we only care about relative humidity. Weather reports refer to relative humidity when talking about humidity.

How does relative humidity affect our everyday lives though?

Humidity can have a major impact on your well-being at home. When there is too much humidity, you are at risk for fungi, dust mites, allergies and asthma, as well as overheating. If there is not enough humidity and your home is too dry, you are at risk for bacteria, viruses, respiratory infections, dry eyes, and chapped lips. The optimal humidity level for a comfortable and sanitary household is between 40% and 60%.

My house is way too humid! What should I do?

If you feel like your house or your work area is uncomfortably humid, you can get a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity. A dehumidifier absorbs the moisture from the air until you are satisfied with the humidity. We have a wide selection of powerful dehumidifiers here at the Atlas Store. Our dehumidifiers range from small portable room dehumidifiers to larger commercial dehumidifiers. Whether you need a dehumidifier just for your office space or you need a dehumidifier for a massive house, we have it all.

The Atlas Store Metal Detector

Have you ever wanted to find treasure buried in the sea or underground just like they do in the movies? The Atlas Store’s metal detector can help launch you on your very own treasure hunt! Today we will go over how to set it up for your treasure hunts.

How do I assemble it?

When you first receive your metal detector, there is some assembly required, but no tools are needed. First you have to connect the search coil with the lower stem, which is made of black fiberglass. Make sure you tighten the bolt when you connect it. Slide the lower stem into the upper stem and adjust it to a comfortable length. When you are standing up with your arms to the side, the search coil should be level with the ground. Tighten the lower stem by rotating counter clockwise. Wind the search coil cable around the stem that you just assembled and insert the search coil’s plug into the search coil’s jack. Be careful not to over tighten the search coil. We have mostly finished assembling the metal detector and just need to assemble the arm support. We do this by pressing the silver button on the upper end of the stem and inserting the aluminum end of the support into it.  Our metal detector is all assembled and we just need to insert two batteries into the battery compartment.

How do I use it?

When you first turn on your metal detector, you can choose between 4 modes, DISC, ALL METAL, NOTCH, AUTO-NOTCH. DISC, NOTCH, and AUTO-NOTCH are all motion modes where the coil must be in continuous motion or there will be nothing found. DISC mode allows you to eliminate unwanted objects from detection among the categories on top of the panel from left to right. NOTCH mode lets you selectively eliminate one or several metals from the categories. AUTO-NOTCH automatically eliminates trash metals and only detects coins and other precious metals. The ALL METAL mode is only for when the metal detector is not in motion. It emits a sound that gets stronger when the signal is stronger.

I know how these modes work, I want to change the settings to better suit my needs, how do I do that?

You can change the settings in the DISC, NOTCH, and AUTO-NOTCH modes but not in the ALL METAL mode. To change the sensitivity in any of these 3 modes, hit the ADJ button and make sure the LCD screen displays SENS at the bottom right corner. Simply press the “+” button or the “-“ button to increase or decrease sensitivity.

The Atlas Store 9079C Dual Hepa Atlas Air Purifier

The Atlas Store’s 9079C Dual Hepa air purifier is a completely different type of air purifier. We will walk  you through how to optimally operate your Atlas 9079C Air Purifier as well as how to care for it.

Set up

Remove the air purifier unit and the remote control from the box and from any wrapping. Insert 2 AA batteries into the remote. Plug the 9079’s power cord into a power outlet and your state of the art air purifier is completely up and ready to go.

Wow! That was easy, but what settings are there?

Your air purifier has the option to use the timer function as well as the option to use the ozone. After you hit the ON/OFF button, you can opt to run it for a certain amount of time before ending. To do this, hit the TIMER button and shift between 1H to 8H. You have the added option to use the ozone mode by pressing the O3 button. Once you have selected the ozone mode, you can hit MODE to select between the machine releasing ozone at a high level or at a low level. Our Atlas 9079C Dual Hepa air purifier is designed to be easily used by anyone.

If getting the machine to run is so easy, is maintaining it just as easy?

Maintaining your air purifier is just as easy as everything else. The HEPA air filter must be washed every month. Make sure the machine is turned off before proceeding. On the side of your 9079, push down on the tab and the casing for the air filter will come off. Carefully remove the filter from the machine. Use a damp towel to wipe off anything on the air filter before returning the filter to the machine. Align the arrow on the filter with the machine to ensure the filter is correctly inserted. When the filter needs to be completely changed, the HEPA filter light will flash and you will need to replace it. Other than that, your air filter needs no other maintenance and will provide you with the freshest and cleanest air for years to come.

The Atlas Store’s 9079C Dual Hepa air purifier is one of the easiest air purifiers to set up, run, and maintain.

Use and maintenance of Atlas Air purifier model Atlas 3500TC Commercial Ozone Generator

Today we will learn how to use and maintain the Atlas 3500TC ozone generator. The Atlas 3500TC is meant for commercial rather than personal use because it can be used for a much larger area and can remove much more potent odors.

How should it be used in my business?

It is crucial that you only run it at night after closing when no one is around because the Atlas 3500TC emits a massive amount of ozone in order to reduce all bad odors. To reduce chances of injury, place the unit on a flat surface before running. Your ozone generator has 3 built in programs. P1 runs for 10 minutes, P2 runs for 20 minutes, and P3 runs for 40 minutes. If you want to customize your own programs, hit the  SET button, choose P1, P2, or P3, then press the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the time for your program.  If you want to run it for a certain time, press the TIMER setting. Press the SET button to enter the time settings and press the UP or DOWN button to set how long you want your unit to run for.

Can I run it for more than 60 minutes?

When you turn the timer dial clockwise, you activate the timer for a max of 60 minutes for your own safety and protection. If you want it to run indefinitely, turn the knob counterclockwise to the HOLD position and your Atlas 3500TC will not stop by itself.

What should I do to maintain my Atlas 3500TC ozone generator?

To ensure your ozone generator runs at maximum capacity, you need to clean the ozone plates monthly. Pull the plates out from the back when the machine is completely turned off and wipe down the plates with a damp cloth. You can use a little bit of soap with the damp cloth to wipe down the plates. Make sure the plates are completely dry before inserting them back into the machine. We recommend that you replace the plates every 6 months to 2 years depending on how often you use your 3500TC. For optimal performance, replace them every year.

If you have any further questions or need any further help, please do not hesitate to visit TheAtlas Store or to give us a phone call at (888) 61 – ATLAS or (888) 612-8527.

The Atlas Store 300A Atlas Air Purifier new Purchase

Congratulations on your purchase of The Atlas Store’s 300A Atlas air purifier! You have just taken the first step to enjoying the cleanest air possible for you and your household. There is no going back to the world of dirty air after this, so prepare yourselves. Today we will go through how to properly use your new purchase as well as any tips and tricks to keep it running optimally.

Setting up your 300A Atlas Air Purifier

When you first open up the packaging, you should have the air purifier unit itself, a bag containing the power cord, a small box containing the ozone plates, and an instructions manual. Take the air purifier out of the packaging and set it down near a power outlet. Remove the power cord from its packaging and plug it into the air purifier. Open up the box with the ozone plates and insert one ozone plate into each slot on the back of the air purifier unit. Finally, plug your air purifier into the outlet and you are done setting it up. It really is that easy.

Running your Air Purifier

We advise you to not use your air purifier while people are in the house because people have varying reactions to the effects of ozone. However, if you do decide to run it while people are home, run it on low first to gauge how you are affected by ozone. Running it on low is enough to purify your home or work space so do not worry about not being able to run it on a higher setting with people around. If you are too sensitive to it being run on low, run it with no oxygen and only the ionizer on when people are in the house. We recommend running your air purifier at low setting first even if there is no one home and adjusting based on those results.

Maintaining your Air Purifier

Regular maintenance of your air purifier is necessary to ensure optimal performance. Every month you need to clean the ozone plates. Make sure your Atlas 300A Air Purifier is turned off before slowly and carefully removing the two ozone plates from the back. Dampen a towel with water soap. Wring off any excessive water before wiping down the ozone plates. Be careful not to break any of the wires on the ozone plate. Completely dry off the ozone plates with another towel before inserting them back into the unit. We recommend replacing your ozone plates every 6 months to 2 years depending on how often you use your air purifier. If you run your air purifier often and at high settings, you will need to replace your ozone plates after 6 months. If you run it sparingly at low settings, your plates will be good for about 2 years.

Atlas Professional One Column Trolley Wheeled laptop Backpack

So far we have discussed a professional backpack for cameras and all photo equipment, a professional bag for carrying just a camera, and now we will figure out a backpack to carry heavy photographic equipment.

What do we need to carry heavy photographic equipment?

When you must carry around a lot of heavy equipment, we need to find something that can be transported without being carried on your back. Even though Atlas’ professional backpack can be used for carrying heavy photographic equipment, it is better to have a different bag that can be rolled to relieve stress on your back. A roller bag is perfect because it reduces the strain on your shoulders from having to support the backpack. Instead, you just have to pull it along with you when you need to transport anything.

I know Atlas always has high quality bags; do you guys have a roller bag?

The Atlas store carries a professional one column trolley camera and laptop bag featuring a deluxe spring-loaded trolley system. It is a versatile bag that converts into a backpack that can be worn on your back if you do not want to pull it as a trolley. Our bag is made from resistant polyester fabric that will ensure the safety of all your equipment. Similar to the other Atlas bags, this bag also utilizes foam padded multi-compartments and adjustable dividers to properly secure and protect all equipment. Atlas’ trolley bag has built in premium wheels that will not break down.

If you have been following our other posts, you know how important it is to have a bag to carry your equipment. If you have not purchased one yet, we highly recommend you try this one out. Just click the link below and you will be directed to the Atlas store page to purchase your very own professional trolley wheeled laptop and camera bag.

Atlas Photo SLR Camera Bag

Last time we discussed the necessity of having a professional backpack to carry all your photography equipment. Today we will talk about situations where you do not need a large backpack to carry everything. There will be times when you only want to bring your camera with you.

I already have the professional backpack, why don’t I just use that one?

You definitely can use that one if you want to and it is great for carrying cameras and camera equipment. But sometimes you might want something more compact and easier to carry. You need a smaller bag designed specifically for holding a camera and one or two accessories rather than a larger backpack made to carry everything.

In that case, what should I do!

You can find a more compact bag meant to snugly hold just your camera. It should be pretty similar to the Atlas professional all purpose backpack we discussed earlier. Your camera backpack should have a padded interior made of lightweight material. The more compact camera backpack should basically be a small-scale version of the Atlas all purpose backpack that you have seen in an earlier post.

I love my professional all purpose backpack, do you guys carry a smaller version for just my camera?

Luckily, we do carry a compact DSLR camera bag at the Atlas store. Our professional camera bag has foam padded components adjustable to your own specifications. It offers an adjustable and padded shoulder strap for comfort and easy transport. Even though it is more compact than any of our other bags, it is created with the same material as all our other bags and is just as strong and durable.
