Passing Along Credit Card Processing Fees For RMR Payments
Credit card processing fees have traditionally been seen as a cost of doing business, with the benefits outweighing the associated costs. The benefits of receiving Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) payments by credit card includes timely payment by the customer, increased cash availability, reduced collection costs, and reduced attrition due to non-payment. Many Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) merchant payment processors also offer the ability to automatically update credit card expiration dates, effectively preventing failed transactions which often resulted from those change in dates. Offering a credit card payment type was also seen as a competitive advantage over companies who did not offer this benefit. This was all true while inflation was kept at bay.

Gun violence can erupt without warning, and when it does, time becomes your most precious asset. The ability to detect and respond to a gunshot within seconds, ideally before panic spreads or the threat escalates, is no longer a luxury. It’s a baseline expectation for physical security. And yet, many gunshot detection systems still operate as if we’re in 2005. They rely on slow, server-heavy architecture, demand complex triangulation setups, and too often leave security teams with vague alerts or, worse, false positives that shake confidence in the system.

Read More ›The Silent Threat To Video Surveillance Storage: Unrecoverable Read Errors And How To Mitigate Them
As video surveillance systems expand to cover more cameras, higher resolutions, and longer retention periods, the reliability of storage infrastructure is more critical than ever. One of the most underrated threats is the Unrecoverable Read Error (URE), which can silently corrupt or destroy archived footage. While RAID arrays remain a mainstay for active surveillance data, LTO tape offers a robust solution-not only avoiding UREs entirely but also enabling video storage for much longer periods than disk-based systems.

Situational awareness involves understanding a given circumstance, collecting relevant information, analyzing it, and making informed decisions to address any potential risks. When applying this to perimeter security, it is common practice to see designs that fortify the perimeter; but once that alarm happens, it is uncommon to have a system that provides the continuous coverage and relevant information operators need to make an informed decision as the potential threat progress.
