Burglar Stops for Iced Tea Link Embed Email Replay More videos (3 of 9) « » advertisement A brazen burglar took what he wanted from a San Diego home while people were swimming in the pool outside Sunday, even stopping to enjoy a glass of iced tea, the homeowner said. Rick Nunez said he arrived at his East County home at around 3 p.m. Sunday to find the cupboards open in the kitchen. At first he didn’t think much of it, because his friends were escaping the heat wave with a dip in his backyard pool. Then he heard something in the back of the house. “At the same time someone is in our house and jumps through the back window and my friend sees him from the pool and starts chasing him,” Nunez said. The burglar, who Nunez believes entered his Granite Hills Drive home through a garage door that didn’t have a deadbolt lock, ran to a black Ford Taurus parked right in front of the house on a sidewalk and drove away, the homeowner said. “As he was driving down, he had the nerve […]

HGH Infrared Systems Announces Debut of Spynel-U
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) September 10, 2013 HGH Infrared Systems, an award-winning global provider of 360-degree thermal imaging systems, announces the debut of their new high resolution system for Wide Area Surveillance. The new camera, the Spynel-U, is an uncooled, long-wave infrared camera system, joining the family of panoramic, detecting and tracking thermal solutions. Spynel-U can detect a human at up to 2.5km, in total darkness, or through smoke or inclement weather conditions. The uncooled sensor is now the most cost-effective of the Spynel solutions and requires no maintenance. The Spynel cameras take wide-area surveillance to the highest levels. On land or at sea, the Spynel thermal cameras act as high resolution “optical radars”, with automatic and real time detection of simultaneous and unlimited targets within the panoramic image. Unlike conventional radars, Spynel is a fully passive system, that cannot be detected and jammed. Spynel’s continuously-monitored, ultra wide panoramic field of view ensures that no event is missed. Spynel provides powerful situational awareness and insures cost-effective maritime and port surveillance, airport perimeter security as well as other critical infrastructure protection. (HGH Infrared Systems will be officially announcing the product launch at the ASIS show in Chicago, IL September 24-27.)

Research Methods Cctv
2012/17: Increasing the use of CCTV: should Australia install more closed circuit TV cameras? What they said… ‘You can still be murdered, raped, bashed, robbed or harassed or whatever and you know walking in front of the CCTV camera doesn’t necessarily protect you from that’ David Vaile, the vice-chair of the Australian Privacy Foundation ‘For the most part, it is for our safety…In public you are in full view. You should expect to be filmed’ Charlie Bezzina, a former Victoria Police homicide squad detective The issue at a glance Following the alleged abduction and murder of Brunswick resident, Jill Meagher, in September 2012, the Victorian Government has ordered an audit of Melbourne’s CCTV network. Melbourne lord mayor, Robert Doyle, has stated, ‘I would be very happy to look at putting more (cameras) in.’ Similarly, Western Australia’s Police Union and the State Opposition have called for more security cameras in Perth’s nightlife areas amid concerns there are big blind spots in the CCTV network. Western Australian Police Minister, Liza Harvey, has claimed that the cameras, which played a role in the arrest of the alleged killer of former Perth resident, Jill Meagher, were ‘an effective tool in both preventing and solving crimes’. Though proposals for increased CCTV surveillance appear to have general public support, there are those who are concerned about the privacy implications of a proliferation of CCTV cameras. There have also been significant doubts raised about the efficacy of this form of surveillance as a crime prevention measure. […]

FTC settles with Trendnet after 'hundreds' of home security cameras were
Home security camera maker Trendnet has reached a settlement with the FTC over charges that it failed to protect customer privacy after a massive security vulnerability was discovered and exploited last year. The breach allowed hackers to watch and monitor total strangers by tapping into live video feeds from thousands of the company’s internet-connected cameras. After a blog published a step-by-step walkthrough revealing how to remotely access the cameras, a huge list of working video feeds made its way onto Pastebin, where it saw over 87,000 hits. The FTC is none too pleased with the gaping security hole, nor the fact that Trendnet "exposed the private lives of hundreds of consumers to public viewing on the Internet." Hundreds of cameras were compromised In its complaint, the commission says Trendnet "failed to use reasonable security to design and test its software," also alleging that the company, as far back as 2010, "transmitted user login credentials in clear, readable text over the internet." The resulting settlement requires Trendnet to keep a close eye on its privacy policies; moving forward, it is barred from "misrepresenting the security of its cameras or the security, privacy, confidentiality, or integrity of the information that its cameras or other devices transmit." But the camera marketer must also take steps to prevent this catastrophe from repeating itself. Trendnet will need to establish a "comprehensive information security program" designed to spot and resolve potential intrusion risks before they can be exploited. And it will do so under a watchful […]

Thief Apologizes, Buys New Wagon For Disabled Boy
One of two wagon thieves apologizes and delivers new wagon Friday morning. Tracy, Alex and Max Bean at their home Friday after a stolen wagon was returned. There was a knock at the door of Tracy Bean’s 16th Avenue home Friday morning. Because she was busy helping her 6-year-old disabled boy, Alex, with breakfast, she didn’t know that on the other side of that door was hope. And contrition. She opened the door and there stood one of the two women caught on security cameras stealing a wagon from her front yard early morning Tuesday – the wagon that was Alex’s favorite. She apologized profusely for the theft. She said she was sorry. She said she wasn’t thinking. And although she did not know where Alex’s wagon was, she bought him a new one. It was still in the box. “I’m moved to tears,’’ Bean said. “All is right.” Bean said the woman, who she did not want to identify, could not have been more remorseful or apologetic. The woman even wrote a letter of apology, Bean said. “She was very sincere,’’ Bean said. “She said they just didn’t think about it at the time.’’ The theft of the wagon was caught on the Bean’s security cameras . Tracy Bean put the video on YouTube on Thursday, which was picked up by numerous news organizations and distributed widely on the internet. “This just couldn’t have turned out better,’’ Bean said. “That’s […]

Newark Housing Authority Upgrades To DVTel IP Camera Security Systems
DVTEL Latitude VMS manages video feeds from over 600 cameras, 24/7 and 365 days a year providing clear images for two or more staff in charge of the Command Center DVTEL’s Latitude was chosen to manage all video feeds covering upwards to 50 of the Authority’s buildings Learn more about how DVTEL can secure your business at DVTEL’s unique event in London. Click here for more info. NHA buildings are located in nearly every neighbourhood in the city of Newark, comprising over 8,700 units, and providing housing for over 20,000 residents. Many NHA developments were rife with drugs and gangs, mothers and children were prevented from moving freely throughout their neighbourhoods, and seniors needed more protection. In 2006, the Newark Housing Authority was labouring under the threat of a Federal takeover and hired a new Executive Director, Keith Kinard who completely revamped the organisation. Budget cuts meant staff cuts and replacing the in-house NHA security guard unit with a private security service. Business Challenges The NHA realised it needed to upgrade the physical security systems to provide more effective assistance to Housing Authority security staff. The NHA’s initial security strategy was to lock down all the buildings housing elderly residents with improved access control and a 24/7 guard presence. Prior to installing state-of-the-art surveillance technology from DVTEL , Newark Housing maintained low-tech, black and white cameras that were unmonitored. If an incident happened, the video could aid in an incident investigation, but it was not an ideal means […]

Lucky Clerk or Lucky Robber?
Jon Lewis Alexander, clerk and veteran, thwarts liquor store robbery with own gun | wusa9.com MARIONVILLE, MO (SPRINGFIELD NEWS LEADER) — The guy with a gun picked the wrong clerk. How wrong? A veteran of four tours in Iraq. A 30-year military man. A former prison guard, private investigator, professional extraditor of federal prisoners and – perhaps most important on this particular Sunday night – a proud owner of a Walther PPX 9 mm handgun. Loaded, with one in the chamber, like he always carries it. Jon Lewis Alexander, 54, of Marionville, thwarted a robbery about 9 p.m. Sunday at Beer 30 on East Logan Street in Marionville – after the would-be robber pulled his weapon first. As a store security video shows, Alexander used his left hand to push the robber’s handgun back while – in a smooth but rapid motion – pulling and swinging his 9 mm into the robber’s face. The man’s mouth, to be exact, as the robber haplessly holds his own weapon at his side. “One of the policemen told me later, ‘You’re a lucky man,’ ” Alexander said Monday. “I said, ‘I think he (the robber) is a little luckier than I am.’ ” The store’s owners, Max and Jeannine Dawson, shared an 11-second video from the store security camera with Marionville police, friends and the News-Leader on Monday, and Alexander explained what happened. No one was hurt and no shots were fired. The man came in the store smoking a cigarette, and […]

Crime on camera prompts surge in home security inquiries
Home > News > Local News Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) — Police said home surveillance video that went viral on the Internet shows a 23-year-old man stealing from a stranger’s home. That burglary suspect, Austin Jones, is set to face a judge on Thursday. But as he sits behind bars, the video that thousands have viewed online has prompted many people in Las Vegas to consider getting a home security system. Several security companies in Las Vegas reported seeing a surge in inquiries from homeowners after the story of the suspect’s arrest made news over the weekend. That includes American Video and Security, Ltd., where the general manager saw the video. “It was painful,” said Nicola Oakie of what it was like watching the video. She said she wished the homeowner, Ed Vidal, had more than just a video camera in his home to catch the suspected burglar. She said if he had an alarm system that notified authorities during the burglary, law enforcement could have responded quicker. Still, she understands that not everyone can afford the most extensive home surveillance system. She points out that having something like a video camera is better than nothing. She and other security companies said whenever a story like this makes news, they see an uptick in business. They weren’t surprised by the public’s response. As of Tuesday, more than 30,000 people had viewed the video Vidal had posted of the crime on his Facebook page. Metro said […]
