Outrage: Man loses finger during iPad robbery

Posted by on Wednesday, 21 April, 2010

Apple says the iPad is “magical and revolutionary,” but I don’t know if it’s worth losing a finger over. A man in Denver purchased an iPad for a business associate—he didn’t even know what an iPad was—and as he was exiting the mall another man came up to him and ripped the bag away, severing his finger in the process. Sigh.

The victim told a local TV channel:

The next thing I know, I’m spun around. I see this kid, his rear end almost on the ground, and he’s pulling it out of my hand. I just remember seeing this kid pulling and pulling and pulling till it got caught. Took the flesh right off and the tendons and everything. There was nothing but bone.

Mall security cameras—why do security cameras always have such low frames per second? Maybe one of you works in the security field and can clue me in—were able to record the entire ordeal, so it should be a little easier for police to nab the criminal.

There really isn’t anything I can add to this other than, well, I hope the criminal is caught sooner rather than later.

Stories like this, that school district in Pennsylvania, and that Wal-Mart Black Friday crush really make you say, “Really? I have to share the planet with these people? We can’t people be nice to each other? Is that so hard?”

One Single Camera Can Now Cover More Space Than Ever: A Security Camera

A Single Security Camera Outworks an Employee

A security camera is a great way to protect any business that needs it. When you walk into a place, you would not expect to be mugged. You wouldn’t want to walk into a mall fearing for your life because you are scared that bombs are somehow lying around unnoticed. Businesses ensure that their customers, employees, commodities, finances and documents remain safe from unwarranted harm. The fact is that businesses, from small deli’s to big malls are never immune to crime. As Hollywood shows, people are aware of ideas for everything from petty stealing to internal conspiracies at the place of business. In order to protect you and your employees as well as any products you have, it’s almost essential to have at least a small security system. A security camera is a mainstay piece of equipment for video surveillance systems, and every business should have one.

Every day the crime rate goes up. Criminals develop with technology to continue to figure out ways to commit crimes. Businesses have to be ready to meet these threats everyday. Every inch of the workplace should be covered by a camera, and its the business operators responsibility to make sure that’s happening. To maximize coverage and try to not leave anyone unnoticed, security cameras should be placed in very carefully placed locations. Even areas outside the businesses such as the side walk or the parking lot are mounted with hidden cameras to provide thorough security.

The CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) camera is actually a network of security cameras that functions almost similar to a broadcast by a TV station. The biggest difference is the signal being sent directly to a specific location like a security room. Security officers can monitor what is going on in other parts of the business. While the security guards roam around the vicinity, they are aided by those who monitor the CCTV camera feeds in the office. They are all taking notes, watching for any unusual activity by shoppers. Hence, should you run out of cash, shoplifting would be a very unwise thing to do. Even Winona Ryder got caught shoplifitng with a security camera.

If there is a robbery reported on the news where they show actual footages, odds are that footage was caught by a CCT camera. CCTV cameras are responsible for the majority of robbery footage out there. Once a criminal has gotten away, a CCTV recording is probably your best bet for catching that person. Security cameras are changing the world, even growing wanted lists. Store owners can rest knowing that the goods they sell remain in the store unless they are sold. The security camera will catch any developing conspiracies between employees. Security cameras even help to protect us from large scale criminal acts like terrorism.

A security camera system does not come cheap. One single security camera can easily cost one hundred dollars and for higher quality picture the cost is going to be even higher. While large businesses should have lots of cameras running at all times in all areas, a lot of small businesses can get away with one or two. You can imagine how expensive it quickly becomes for an operator to protect a business domain. Yet it is a cost most businesses realize is one worth taking for protection.

For the cost, a security system is no doubt the best thing you can do to boost security at your business. It protects businesses from threats. It keeps people in the businesses safe. With a good security and video surveillance system, crooks and the rest of these marauders have got no place to hide.


Fake security camera moves, pretends to keep you safe

Posted by on Friday, 19 February, 2010

So you want your neighbors to think that your house is an impenetrable fortress, but you don’t really feel like shelling out the hundreds of dollars needed to buy actual security cameras? Maybe you’re seen those other fake surveillance cameras in stores, but you want something that moves, damnit. Well here you go: the Hammacher Schlemmer panning Faux Security camera set.

I suspect that generally speaking, if you shop from Hammacher Schlemmer, you’re not going to need to buy a fake security camera. Going fake however, can be quite expensive. The FauxCam has a blinking LED, and a built in motion sensor that moves to follow the person in the target area. So if you’d rather have all the insecurity and none of the protection, you can buy this product for $59.95. Personally, I’d say buy a real security camera for about the same price.

For men on trains: Japanese company sells anti-groping gloves

Posted by on Tuesday, 29 December, 2009

anti_groping_gloves

Groping women in trains (or anywhere, really) isn’t only happening in Japan, but this country with its big cities with trains that are full of people (=easy bait for gropers) everyday has a particularly big problem with molesters. It’s a crime, and it’s reported around 2,000 times yearly to police stations in Tokyo alone, prompting a big Japanese railway operator to think about installing security cameras within trains in order to catch gropers just recently.

And now a Japanese company called Mindbank [JP] has developed a solution for those people who fear to get wrongly accused of touching women in trains with their hands: Anti-groping gloves.

I’m not sure if this is a half joke/half serious product (like many of those silly Thanko USB gadgets), but Mindbank is actually selling the things (patent pending!). And accusing the wrong passengers on a train does happen, too.

The way it works is that you get plastic plates that you have to stick into the gloves before you can wear them, making it harder for men to pull off groping attacks. One glove and one plastic plate will set you back $18, meaning you’ll have to pay $36 for both hands to be absolutely sure. Inventor Shimoyama expects brisk demand especially from “fainthearted” train passengers.
