Moore Security JUST started carrying these!! Very excited about the impact these cameras will have on the security world!

I read an article about Mayor Bloomberg’s trip to London this week to observe the “Ring of Steel” video surveillance system in operation. This comes on the heels of a decision to spend 200 million dollars to buy 3000 high end video analytic smart cameras for Lower Manhatten. In addition, the Sunday front page of the Arizona Daily Star has an article about a mobile video surveillance system that is used on the border to help keep it secure. It works using motion detection, daytime cameras and thermal night time cameras with GPS to help track illegal border traffic. Another 35 to 40 units are on order because it is one of the few ideas on the border issue that actually works.

Not everyone agrees that having these advanced security measures is exactly what made America free and great. But it does show the reality of the world we live in and what we have to do to try and protect ourselves from the bad people who want to do us harm. If that explosive device had gone off in Times Square, there would have been a panic. I don’t really believe that the average American begrudges a poor hispanic person from wanting to work to support their family if they would just go back to their country of origin or put in the effort to become a legal citizen. But the problem is if they are getting through, who or what else is getting through?

The moral of this story is to remain vigilant, and be grateful that we have the Military, the Border Patrol and the first responders who have the tools and gumption to try and keep us safe. It’s a different world that we live in, but with common sense and advanced technology I think we can keep each other safe.

Let me know what you think.

Press Release

Tucson, Arizona May 12, 2010 For Immediate Release

Moore Security Solutions Opens the First Innovative Security Solutions Concept Store

Rick Moore, President of Moore Security Solutions in Tucson, Arizona, has announced the opening of a new concept store for personal, residential and commercial security solutions.

The security industry is a billion dollar industry with most distribution levels coming from the internet, catalogs, direct sales and trade shows. Moore Security Solutions has developed a new concept store that will provide a hands on, personalized approach to viewing, testing and purchasing the ideal security solution for every situation.

“There is nothing like this concept store,” says Moore, “and we are looking forward to educating the consumer about security solutions for every application and demonstrating how these high tech systems work. There is no other way the consumer can get this kind of hands on experience.”

The showroom will have areas set up for personal security products, home security systems and applications for small to large commercial solutions.  The consumer will be able to view actual cameras and monitors for quality and definition.

The security solutions industry is growing at 15% – 20% a year and will continue to grow as people are more concerned with personal and property safety.  There are numerous case studies that have proven that video surveillance systems not only protect property, but have assisted in the apprehension of vandals, thieves and felons.

Moore Security Solutions has been in operation in the Tucson community since 1999 selling and professionally installing residential security systems, small and large commercial and retail systems, and intrusion and video surveillance systems.

Rick Moore and his team of professionals are licensed, certified and bonded in the State of Arizona to install security systems.

A $1000 Honeywell home security system that will include a control panel with key pad, three door/window contacts, wireless motion detector, back up battery, yard signs, decals and professional installation will be given away on Saturday, June 5^th at 5pm. There will be five personal protection devices given away each day throughout the grand opening week of June 1^st – June 5^th. People can participate by stopping by the showroom at 5608 East Broadway and entering the drawing in person.

The citizens of the state of Arizona are being asked to approve a one cent sales tax next week in order to generate some additional revenue that is supposed to keep teachers employed and classrooms size to less than fifty kids.

Being the owner of a “Brick and Mortar” type business who also wants to generate sales on the internet, I was curious about your opinion on the taxing of sales of goods over the internet. On the surface, the idea that internet entrepreneurs are allowed to sell products and not have to charge sales tax to the end user does not seem fair. The owner of a physical store has costs associated with that store that the internet business owner does not have. This is fine in and of itself because of the free market, but the equation becomes distorted when one has to charge almost an additional 10% to their customer to finance the operation of the city and state in which his or her building exist.

In addition, five to six hours a month with a paid employee are dedicated to keeping in compliance with all of the demands of the city and state revenue departments.

I sincerely wish to vote for this proposed tax to support education. I don’t think there is anything more important than the education of a community’s children. But it seems somewhat unfair that my customers have to pay almost ten percent more for purchasing a product from my physical store as opposed to an internet store location. Business is tough enough without this additional burden being thrust upon a store owner.

It seems as if we could generate a lot of revenue by taxing the sale of goods over the internet. The internet is no longer than innocent child waiting to grow up and be a mature business. How about a level playing field?
Please let me know what you think. At some level we are all in this together, and we must try to solve some of these problems we face. I am interested in your solutions. Got any?

http://www.arizonaeducationnetwork.com/2010/02/proposition-100-the-1-temporary-sales-tax-increase-your-questions-answered/

I have a friend in the Mortuary business who is always complaining that people could save a lot of money and hassle if they would just come to see him before they died, instead of leaving the problem to others after the grim reaper had paid them a visit. They call that pre-need in the death business. That got me to thinking that we face the very same problem in the security industry. When there is a robbery or break-in or an employee is stealing from a business, there is this big emergency to get something done right away. The old “I needed it yesterday” syndrome. After a few days have passed, and the distress and anger have subsided somewhat, all of the sudden that money that was intended to help you secure your family or business profits is needed to pay the electric bill. After all, what are the chances that this could happen to you again? Right? http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/crime-rates/

Well, unfortunately, the odds are pretty good that you could be the victim of another assault on your peace of mind. Criminals (or bad employees) just love to return to a crime scene where they know they got away with something, and the person who was violated did nothing to fix the problem.

Doesn’t it just make more sense to be pro active in regard to your safety and peace of mind by doing something before you have a problem? With all of the new technology available in the security industry, and with the price of equipment (especially in video surveillance) coming down to affordable levels, it just makes sense to invest in your security before there is a situation that could bring massive stress into your life or maybe even something worse than that.

By being pro active, you can improve the odds that you or your company can resist being a victim. Something as simple as providing a panic button for your employees, or having a video surveillance system in your parking lot or place of business, or a good, basic security system in your home, will make the bad guys think twice before disturbing you. What if someone claims that they fell down or slipped on your sidewalk, or inside of your business? A good video surveillance system can stop a liability issue from rearing its ugly head. I can’t tell you how many times that business owners, who have professionally installed video systems from Moore Security Solutions, tell me that issues involving change being made, or arguments between employees and customers, or even liability issues, have been solved immediately when the customer found out that the entire incident was recorded digitally from a surveillance camera.

Please, don’t allow yourself to be a victim. If you think that it couldn’t happen to you, think again. If you own a computer, you have information on it that an identity theft professional wants. If you own a business that has critical customer information on your computer system, you must take measures to stop that information from being available to anyone who throws a rock through your window.

All of the scenarios I have presented are important. But the one that is maybe the most important is the loss of innocence that comes over a person when their home or business has been broken into, their belongings stolen, and their privacy shattered. Unfortunately, I have to see this every day. Losing your big screen T.V. is one thing; the feeling of being violated or having not done everything possible to protect yourself and your families well being is one feeling that never really goes away.

So, please take the time to protect that sense of well being. Take the time to provide your employees and your family with some peace of mind. Take the time to secure your world. And please do it pre-need!

If you have any comments about this article, please respond and let me know what is on your mind. Have you ever felt the sense of being violated when your home or business has been broken into? Drop me a line, and tell me how you felt. Thanks for taking the time to interact. Hopefully, working together as a community, we can start to take back control of our lives.

I was going to start this weeks word sharing by saying something bad about ADT, but thought, nah, what’s the fun in that? Also, that lets me have something to talk about next week!

I was thinking about being in Las Vegas two weeks ago at the International Security Conference, the premiere event in the security world. One of the great things about the show is that even after fifteen years, I always find myself feeling like a little boy at Christmas when he sees all the new toys. I have to tell you, this is a great industry. On Thursday, I received a demonstration from a German company called Mobotix. They only sell five different cameras, but I think they use magic to get these cameras to do what they do. They have one camera that has full digital quality with a true 180′ panoramic view that can be zoomed in with astounding clarity. And that’s from any location on earth with a network connection! Obviously, like all industries, we have our share of flakes , but a lot of them have been washed away in the recession. In this economy, you have to be able to deliver what you promised (or else, never give up trying!)

I’m talking about working in an industry that continues to develop cutting edge products and merge new technologies that are geared to making the world a safer place to be in. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t, but I believe the effort is true. The great thing is that we get to play with new toys to try to solve our client’s problems, and then we get to feel good about helping people to sleep a little easier every night.

So, I just wanted to say thank you to the current clients that we have who have helped us through the tough times we have all been in. Your support and referrals have allowed us to keep on fighting.  And thanks to the major and minor manufacturing companies who continually come up with solutions to complicated problems. Your dedication and research paves the way for a bright and safer future for our communities. And a preemptive thank you to our future customers and vendors for letting Moore Security Solutions work in one of the best industries in the world. As we embark on new journeys as a company, let’s all work together to make your world more secure.

I was driving to a meeting this morning listening  to the radio, when I heard a commercial from a company seemingly to sell or give away an alarm system if you would just call a 1 800 number that was repeated about fifteen times, I would guess. That part was pretty irritating. Anyway , it was a rather long ad that just kept repeating that you would get something for free in regard to the security of your home if you would just call that darn 1 800 number.

After listening to the commercial and thinking about what the company was trying to accomplish it struck me that at no time during the entire presentation was the name of the security company mentioned. Not one single time. I found this fascinating. Here was a company that was proclaiming that they were going to protect your home, assets, and family and they failed or refused to identify themselves. Really? Is that a company that you want as your security company? Is that the security provider that you should have a long term relationship with to help secure your loved ones? A company that was so unsure of who they were or what value they brought to the relationship that they wished to remain anonymous?

I found the whole concept to be strange. As a client don’t you WANT to know who is protecting you? Don’t you want to know who is going to be coming to your home to install a “free” security system? Wouldn’t it be beneficial to have some idea about who the company was that was going to have the security codes to your alarm panel? Are their install technicians certified? Have they been given polygraph screenings and police background checks to make sure that this strange company is not hiring felons to come into your home? Are they licensed in the state you live in, and bonded and insured?

The relationship between a family or business and their security company should be strong, consistent, and anything but anonymous. There is nothing more important than the security of your business, assets, home, and loved ones. Don’t make the mistake of using a big multinational security company that only cares about your signature on a long term contract. Know who your security company is. Make sure they have updated information about the parties you want contacted in case of an emergency.

This is America. We all know that there is really nothing for free. Make your relationship with your security company a positive one. Not one that is anonymous!

Our Tip of the Week, regarding shopping safety, is courtesy of Help Eliminate Auto Thefts (H.E.A.T.).

“Park in well-lit areas, near sidewalks or walkways. Avoid parking near dumpsters or large vans or trucks. These obstacles decrease your ability to see the space surrounding your vehicle clearly, where thieves or carjackers could be hiding.

Azalea Networks, a provider of wireless network equipment and technology, and Dotworkz Systems, a provider of crime camera enclosures for public safety systems, recently announced deployment of the first phase of a wireless video surveillance solution for the San Diego Police Department.

Our Tip of the Week, regarding fire safety, is courtesy of Pella Corp.

“Take time to evaluate your fire safety risks near your living space as well. Garage fires often spread quickly and aggressively. Equipping your garage with a smoke detector and checking it regularly can help your family escape to safety quicker in event a fire begins here. Also, with the popularity of fire pits and fire rings being used for outdoor relaxation, it’s essential to properly extinguish these fires to prevent the risk of the fire spreading into your home or others in the neighborhood.”

The city’s police radar van is scheduled to snap photographs of speeders at these locations today, according to the Tucson Police Department:
• 6 to 9:30 a.m.: Near Walter Douglas Elementary School, in the 3300 block of North Flowing Wells Road.
• 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: On North Campbell Avenue between East Broadway and East Sixth Street.

Nowadays having a security system serves lots of purposes .Having this kind of system doesn’t necessarily mean you are from the law enforcement or from military brigade. Everyone has the right to be secured, right? These systems fit your necessities with regards to safety. Most of its fundamental security uses includes protecting your family from intruders, keeping your home being vandalized. It also prevents fire accidents and gas poisoning like carbon monoxide.

In 47% of home invasions, victims get physical injuries. When an intruder enters your home you loose all sense of safety in your home. If an intruder breaks in and physically hurts you, the cost of the emergency and hospital bill could be outrageous. Why would you want to spend that much money on something that you could prevent with a home security system. For protecting your home from vandalism, security systems are great. They have cameras that will catch all of the actions that happen where the camera is pointed at. If you have a motion sensed camera then you will be able to get it all that way it will be easier for the police to identify and catch the criminal.

Prevention against unauthorized entry and vandalism is now reachable in your hands. Early response to fire accidents can now be controlled earlier. In emergency cases, these systems alert the proper authorities, protection guaranteed. Either, intruder, fire, vandalism, or carbon monoxide rest assured you and your family is in good hands. If you are thinking what kind of security system for you, there’s no need to be bothered , there are variety of security systems to choose from. This is another breakthrough of science that gives you, the security benefit.

“If you print it, go get it right away. Dont leave important, sensitive, or confidential material lying around the office. Common printing areas are frequented by people coming and going. Often you will be in line to pick up your documents and others may handle them before you. This leads to unnecessary information disclosures. One boss had a print job disappear, and had e-mailed the whole floor about it. The pages never turned up. Always use the closest print station, or a dedicated printer for confidential information, and go get it right away.”

Our Tip of the Week is courtesy of the SANS Institute.

“Don’t enter your username and password on any computer you don’t control. Using public computers will always carry the risk of exposing your personal data. ‘Public’ computers — as in college library computers. A Kentucky college student has been charged with identity theft and unlawful access to a computer for allegedly breaking into other students’ e-mail accounts at the University of the Cumberlands, and using the access and information to blackmail them. He did this by allegedly placing spyware on computers at the college library to harvest the information he needed to access the e-mail accounts. Then he threatened to divulge the contents of certain messages unless the students complied with his demands.”

More than 50 million kindergarten through 12th grade students will soon return to classrooms with backpacks full of new pencils and books. But, one more must-have item should be checked off the back-to-school list — school safety.

According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Education, an estimated 2.2 million crimes were reported on public school campuses nationwide during the 2005-06 school year alone and 78 percent of schools reported violent incidents.

Patrick Fiel, public safety advisor for ADT Security Services and former head of security for Washington, D.C. Public Schools says, “Parents who are actively involved in their student’s school security can improve their child’s safety and success on campus. Bullying, gangs, drug sales, weapons and sex predators are on the streets every day.”

To help parents prepare for a safe school year, Fiel and ADT have developed a list of safety tips to help parents keep kids safe before, during and after school.

Before school:

If your child walks or rides a bicycle to school, help him or her choose the safest possible route with the fewest street crossings and walk or ride with him or her if possible. According to a child safety organization, pedestrian injury is the second leading cause of accidental injury-related death among children ages 5 to 14. Talking with children about biking and walking safety can help to reduce their risk of injury.
Be sure there is at least one parent with children waiting at a school bus stop. This is a time when potentially risky activity, such as bullying and fighting, can take place.

Since one of our customers was robbed last night just wanted to give some words of advise. If you receive a call from your Central Monitoring station while you are away from your home or office never assume that you have a false alarm especially if more than one zone goes off.

View this video. There are many applications for video I guess this person is happy he had video capabilities.

Toshiba has found a way to make changing the radio station in your car as easy as blinking your eye. The electronics giant is developing in-car facial recognition technology that eliminates the need to take your hands off the wheel.

While it might seem unnecessary, if not pointless, to make such menial tasks like turning off Howard Stern or cranking up the AC any easier, Toshiba spokesman Hiroko Mochida said the technology will increase safety and save lives.

People who own and run small businesses may have been overlooked in the past. Not attracted to the big budgets and sophisticated requirements of big business, the security industry has not focused on providing small business security. Small businesses had to settle for inappropriate and overpriced security that resembled home security systems.
