Remote Screen Capture System for Blue Iris

Remote Screen Capture System for Blue Iris

Adding video security to keep tabs on employees and their productivity throughout the day has been a major factor in decision making to add security cameras to a business. PC Poodle has a new solution that allows remotely recording screens on both mac and windows while keeping the security cameras in the same solution. This allows management to audit the surfing habits of this new generation of knowledge workers in the 21st century.

The software RSC (Short for remote screen capture), installs on windows 7 or higher along with MacOS 10.7 or higher. After installation and activation, the software runs in the background and sends images back to a local server. RSC is not a cloud based solution so your private information stays private by remaining locally on your own self hosted server. The system takes up minor resources on the target terminals to be monitored, anything made after 2009 should not be an issue.

The system uses motion detection to detect activity on a terminal (vs. keyboard and mouse activity which can timeout during video playback). The backend software Blue Iris, allows a simple interface and quick review of footage records by scrubbing through video with a click of the mouse. There’s also iOS and android clients that can be setup for remote viewing using a little bit of port forwarding magic. There’s a few limitations to the system, the server must reside on the same subnet as the computers being monitored so be prepared to hire a networking guru if your network is very large and uses multiple routers.

The impact on the speed of the local network should be minimal as frame rates are limited to 4FPS and you can adjust the size and quality of the images that are sent back to home base. We’re looking forward to the future roadmap of these integrations of video and other devices that usually go un monitored. Nothing measured, nothing gained!

Keeping What You Save Safe!

Keeping What You Save Safe!

Most people believe that keeping precious metals at home is a bad idea and that the best place to store them is in a bank vault or some safe house that offers insured storage facilities, however this is far from the truth due to the fact that most people actually keep gold in their homes. Another common worry for gold buyers is that thieves are always on the lookout for gold when they break in and when you read the news, some thieves have even gone to the extent of ripping beds and emptying potted plants in their attempt to find valuables in a home. Which brings us to the question, how do we store or keep gold safe at home?

Well the truth of the matter is that the best way to keep gold safe at home is to buy a good solid safe that has a proven track record. Finding the right type of safe can be tricky, first and foremost if you are going to buy a safe to keep your valuables in, the most important thing to ensure is that the safe is not too small or too light, or you will risk having not only your valuables stolen, but also have your entire safe carted away. A safe should be heavy for starters and be installed into the framework of the house securely, meaning that it is ‘built into’ your home structure and concealed. As for the safe’s security features, there are plenty of them ranging from 4 – 8 digit combinations, inbuilt alarm systems that alert the authorities on the 3rd failed attempt and automatic communication systems that dial your phone number the moment the ‘Enter’ button is pressed on the safety combination. Some safes have all three features. However, the most important thing to storing gold is to keep the existence of your gold and your safe a secret and out of sight.

Some of the best brands that one should consider when buying safes is undoubtedly the brand, some of the best and most respected brands around include Fire King, Fort Knox, Browning, Liberty Safe and Inkas. These brands not only provide you with a solid secure safe, but these companies also provide installation services and added security measures and have built in UPS that could last for weeks if at all the power supply to the safe is cut off by thieves. Plus, the moment the power supply is cut off, a GPS system that is powered by a UPS battery inside the safe is activated which reveals the whereabouts of the safe for recovery purposes within 24 hours, giving thieves very little time to work on breaching the safe.

When it comes to buying safes, bigger is always better and the bigger it is, the more difficult it is for thieves to cart it away. Added security features are the best way to ensure that the moment your safe comes under attack, alerts are sent to the owners and the security firm, as most safes can be breached by professionals in under 2 or 3 hours, these added measures will allow owners to act quickly which is a deterrent that thieves would rather not engage.

Ensure that the safe that you decide to buy also has a high fire rating that could withstand extreme heat for a good amount of time. One last factor about having a safe, is getting the content of the safe insured, after all, if people are able to make something, rest assured that they will devise a way to break them as well. Thus, if you are planning on buying a safe, buy a good one!

What Is Corporate Security?

What Is Corporate Security?

Over the past few years, massive advances in technology and business infrastructure have seen security threats growing increasingly complex and common. Whether in the form of organised crime, terrorism or information security, more and more businesses now require the dedicated efforts of a corporate security service to protect themselves against the damage that these threats can cause to their finances or reputation.

Corporate security protects a company by identifying and mitigating any threats before they can develop and cause significant damage. Security teams act as a safeguard for data, property and personnel, effectively protecting the business and in the process allowing for its smooth running on a daily basis.

More Than Just A Security Guard
Traditionally, security guards were seen as stern and overly-protective guards at the front gate – keeping a keen eye on potential threats but far too frequently preventing employees from fulfilling all of their duties. Today’s corporate security services are designed to be quite the opposite by protecting the company with a service that is as convenient as it is cost-effective.

Modern day security guards understand and appreciate the importance of their work across all levels of a business, whether in the form of keyholding, carrying out patrols or locking and unlocking the premises. This gives business owners and their employees the peace of mind that they will be protected in the event of an attempted theft or other security breach, while saving them the potential inconvenience of addressing such threats in an effective and timely fashion themselves.

Why Choose A Corporate Security Company?
There are a number of reasons to hire the services of a security company. London businesses and those further afield can first and foremost benefit from the knowledge and experience that many corporate security guards have amassed through their decades of work – allowing them to manage a wide variety of threats and situations, from false alarms to internal theft.

A second reason is the convenience that a 24-hour security service brings. Being a designated keyholder can mean responding to alarms at all hours, as well as securing the premises at the beginning and end of each day. This can be inconvenient when designated personnel face constant interruptions to their outside lives, but a corporate security company can provide the reassurance of a consistent, reliable service with no inconvenience to any employees.

Thirdly, businesses of all sizes can save money by choosing a security company. London and other major cities are full of potentially costly threats to businesses, their employees and their property. Aside from more obvious incidents like theft and fraud, any security breach can prove to be expensive by affecting the reputation of the business – as customers will understandably be hesitant to deal with them in future.
