Alarm Monitoring with Total Connect Services

June 6th, 2010

Dave

I have been in the security industry for 10 years and I have worked with several monitoring companies and central stations across the nation. GeoArm has been the most helpful group of people at every level. From sales, activation and setup of Total Connect services to alarm response time I am consistantly impressed with the level of service they provide.

As a security business owner, I can’t stress enough how important it is to have installations go as smoothly as possible. A monitoring company that responds to a customers/installers request in a timely manner can help save TIME and MONEY.

I choose GeoArm as my Alarm Monitoring company and I recommend their service for all my customers installations.

I probably mention the forum at least once a week, but only because I know how useful it can be. I am always posting product guides and manuals and whatever else I can get my hands on that makes the job easier. There is very few things as an installer that are more frustrating than coming behind an exisiting panel with no literature or programming guides. You can usually find a lot of the information you are looking for on Google, but even then it might take awhile to get exactly what you’re looking for. That’s why I add something new to the forum everytime I come across a programming guide or manual that I know I will need one day. You can find links and information to nearly every security panel out there on these forums. You can also find links to DVR guides as well as latest software versions and firmware updates to many CCTV systems, including network viewing software.

Please submit anything you think would be useful to the forum and make a request if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Getting to know CCTV

Introduction

The publication, The Principles and practice of CCTV includes a chapter on specifying CCTV systems, but this is from the perspective of an installing company producing an offer to an end user. This article is aimed at the end user and is guidance on avoiding some of the pitfalls created by a poorly structured or ill thought-out specification.

You should be aware of the distinction of the cheapest system or the best value for money. This is where an effective specification can assist in making the correct selection from competitive tendering.

There are many products where the buyer is knowledgeable in the requirements and can identify the precise product. Such as, buying machine tools where the specification is precise as to the performance against specific needs. Or buying computers where an IT manager knows the exact needs of each department. Security systems, however, are frequently a one off purchase with no previous experience on the part of the buyer. For this reason they are vulnerable to pressure from inexperienced salespersons offering the wrong solution based on their company’s’ particular products. For instance, selling CCTV when an intruder alarm or better physical security is a more effective answer.

Perceived security compared to real security

April 20th, 2010

Perception of security is sometimes poorly mapped to measureable objective security. The perceived effectiveness of security measures is sometimes different from the actually security provided by those measures. The presence of security protections may even be taken for security itself. For example, two computer security programs could be interfering with each other and even cancelling each other’s effect, while the owner believes s/he is getting double the protection.

Security theater is a critical term for deployment of measures primarily aimed at raising subjective security in a population without a genuine or commensurate concern for the effects of that measure on—and possibly decreasing—objective security. For example, some consider the screening of airline passengers based on static databases to have been Security Theater and Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System to have created a decrease in objective security.

Perception of security can also increase objective security when it affects or deters malicious behavior, as with visual signs of security protections, such as video surveillance, alarm systems in a home, or an anti-theft system in a car such as a LoJack, signs.

Since some intruders will decide not to attempt to break into such areas or vehicles, there can actually be less damage to windows in addition to protection of valuable objects inside. Without such advertisement, a car-thief might, for example, approach a car, break the window, and then flee in response to an alarm being triggered. Either way, perhaps the car itself and the objects inside aren’t stolen, but with perceived security even the windows of the car have a lower chance of being damaged, increasing the financial security of its owner(s).

However, the non-profit, security research group, ISECOM, has determined that such signs may actually increase the violence, daring, and desperation of an intruder. This claim shows that perceived security works mostly on the provider and is not security at all.

It is important, however, for signs advertising security not to give clues as to how to subvert that security, for example in the case where a home burglar might be more likely to break into a certain home if he or she is able to learn beforehand which company makes its security system.
