GeoVision Electronic Article Surveillance

GeoVision announced plans last week to collaborate with Electronic Article Surveillance(EAS) systems providers and integrate EAS features into their upcoming video surveillance software.

EAS integration will allow retailers to not only receive alarms when an un-scanned item attempts to leave the store but will trigger exit door video to automatically be recorded and marked as an EAS event. This video will even be available in live time to store management using their PDA’s, thus allowing for faster and more appropriate responses to potential shoplifting incidents.

The EAS system will not only record video when an EAS tagged item leaves the store but will also be able to match it up with video of the shelf where the item is stocked. In this manner the GeoVision surveillance system will be able to quickly provide a video trail of the attempted shoplifting incident.

Through more effective EAS video integration retailers can take advantage of their GeoVision CCTV security camera system to reduce loss and the costs associated with preventing and or prosecuting shoplifters.

Security Cameras From Tech Army E-Store

Camera Security Now announced today they will be marketing their Security Camera and GeoVision DVR products online through the Tech-Army E-Store. The new agreement comes as the Tech-Army goes live with a new and improved E-Store released early in the Forth Quarter of 2007.

John Beagle, CEO of CameraSecurityNow.com, said his goal for the new Online Security Camera E-Store was simply “To improve the speed at which we process orders for those customers who have a straight forward security camera or DVR need”.

Beagle went on to say that unlike the firms main Security Camera website, that targets complete security systems for medium to large scale businesses, the Tech-Army E-Store is designed for smaller, and simpler security camera needs.

There are however several complete security camera packages in the E-Store and security consultants are always available for free phone consultations. Should any security system have the need for onsite installation those services are offered from Camera Security Now by way of their nationwide Tech Army installers.

Philadelphia is getting help from Security Cameras

Mayor John Street is not a stranger to crime. Born into a violent rural community in Norristown, Mayor Street began his public career as a community activist for peace. Today he announced a plan to add 250 security cameras to city streets.

The first of the cameras will be installed in the violent neighborhood around 52nd and Market Streets in West Philadelphia according to Deputy Police Commissioner Jack Gaittens. The first of the cameras could be operational as little as two weeks.

The cameras will all be wireless, highly visible to deter criminals, and monitored by a new class of civilian police workers.

The $9 million deal between the city and Unisys provide video surveillance to a large area of the city.

City Council members Darrell Clarke and Donna Reed Miller promised legislation that would authorize a similar amount for another 250 cameras next year - 500 altogether by 2009.

John F. Street was sworn in as Philadelphia's 97th Mayor on January 3, 2000.

Benefits of Bullet Security Cameras

One of the most cost effective solutions for CCTV monitoring, bullet cameras provide great quality at low cost. These cameras are also compact and discrete, coming in sizes slightly over 2 inches long.

Also Designed for versatility, bullet cameras can function both indoors and outdoors, and can also perform in both normal and low-light conditions making them very flexible. If you are in a situation where there is no light, bullet cameras can also be equipped with an infrared lens, letting them see in the dark.

All of these advantages make the Bullet Security Camera ideal for situations in which space is limited, you wish to remain discrete, and when you need to keep costs at a minimum.
