Copper Theft continues to be an issue for many businesses across the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex. Wireless cameras placed at the the roof top access points will alert the monitoring center to to the crime in progress. The local police department can then be dispatched to your facility as a verified crime in progress, thus reducing the response time. The cost to replace a roof top AC unit is several thousands of dollar per unit - plus any lost production and collateral damage. Our two camera Copper Theft Kit starts around $ 3000.

Today many products have 3D cousins, from cereal boxes prizes to comics; calling cards to conference calls. If you can see it, someone will 3D it. 

But do you have 3D security? 

To find out; put on your red and blue tinted glasses and journey with me, not to the Center of the Earth, but to Secure Me... in 3D.

In technical terms 3D is short for 3 dimensional; the ability to perceive length, width and depth in a photo or video. For our purposes today we will discuss the other 3D:

1. Diligence
2. Detection
3. Documentation

Diligence is first on the list for many reasons: it's FREE!, it's essential, and it's effective. The most elaborate system system will fail if you are not diligent in keeping a secure mindset. Lock doors that should be locked. Arm the system when it should be armed. Run criminal background checks on your employees. Keep your facility or residence clear of obstructions such as shrubbery or window advertisements.

Detection is your alarm system. Your system should be customized to fit your specific needs and requirements. As we have discussed in prior posts, an alarm system should include at least two different elements: Perimeter Detection (exterior door / window contacts, glass breakage detectors etc), and Interior Traps (motion detectors, interior trap doors etc.). Best case scenario, we will become aware of the intruder before he or she has entered the facility, business or residence. Worst case - he or she is detected quickly once inside.

Documentation is capturing the event for evidence purposes and in some cases live verification of the actual crime. This can be accomplished by both audio and visual means. In the event of an alarm, a central station has the ability to observe and capture the sights and / or sounds of a crime in progress. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) or video surveillance has become mainstream in criminal forensics and has been instrumental in solving many crimes. Video Surveillance is no longer just for banks and Fortune 500 companies; it can be used to aid home and or business assisting law enforcement in their investigation, usually ending in an a quicker apprehension and hopefully prosecution of the criminal.
