Are Security Guards or Live Video Monitoring Better?

Security Guards Versus Live Video Monitoring USA

Alive video surveillance service handles everything about video surveillance, from installation to execution. Businesses that provide live video surveillance work with their commercial clients to build a solution that meets their goals and budget. Next, they instal and monitor real-time video surveillance equipment. Live monitoring offers real-time danger identification and action. Rapid reaction time raises the possibility of apprehending suspects who endanger the firm.

US Live Video Monitoring System Information

Practice shows that you can set a camera on your building site, in a warehouse, or on your land. This camera wirelessly sends footage to a real-time video surveillance centre. Highly trained security personnel regularly examine the system for possible activities. The many camera options include strobe lights to deter criminals, number plate recognition, and temperature sensors. These cameras have extra security functionalities.

Clearly, security personnel and CCTV costs are equivalent. 24-hour security was implemented in a shopping area at a monthly cost is $14,000, or $168,000 annually. The expense proved to be unaffordable. The store management requires a new security system. Management chose to instal video surveillance. The device cost $35,000, and there is a $2,000-per-month monitoring fee. Perform simple math. Video surveillance saves $8,000 against security personnel over four months.

Remote video surveillance security allows you to better protect your property, as you no longer need an on-site security guard.

Surprised to learn that security guards outnumber sworn, professional law enforcement officers? Over 900,000 people serve as law enforcement personnel in the United States.

Communicating with neighbours via home security systems helps ensure the community’s safety. neighbourhood watch’s objective is not to patrol the streets and hold meetings. Instead, neighbours are likely to use safety applications and use similar social networks focused on neighbourhood safety. Proactive efforts to safeguard property are equally important for individuals in every community. A good start to secure not just your home and assets but also those you care about is to have a security assessment done on your house, adopt common-sense improvements, and invest in an alarm system.

Merchants in the United States lost $46.8 billion in inventory in 2017 thanks to shoplifters and dishonest employees. Video surveillance systems aid retailers by helping them minimise losses and increase profits. Video surveillance services outperform unmanned surveillance cameras in detecting threats in real-time. You’ll have an easier time tracking down criminals when they’ve left the scene if you capture them first.  Security Guards Vs. Live Video Monitoring USA

Security Guards Vs. Live Video Monitoring

For less than the cost of security guards, you can have a year’s worth of video surveillance footage. Video surveillance cameras capture everything. The footage supplies the proof. Suspects are commonly caught prior to their departure. When they are released, recordings aid in the apprehension of suspects. The process of training is done entirely by machine. All cameras are monitored by security operators stationed away from the site. They will be safe.

Losses for stores due to shoplifting and dishonest staff cost the United States $46 billion in 2018. This helps merchants, like yours, to reduce losses and protect their profits. In addition, video surveillance systems can uncover sweethearting, which typically goes unnoticed by managers and security professionals. Store staff engage in sweethearting by neglecting to scan items or discounting them for their relatives and friends.

Modern day security cameras have high-resolution cameras. Some even have night vision capabilities.

When an alarm is activated, basic security cameras take photos which can help you and authorities identify a prowler or burglar. Indoor and outdoor video surveillance cameras may be used to secure your entire property. Efficiency can be boosted by only recording when motion is detected. Owners may remotely monitor and operate their cameras. Video clips can be stored online via an SD card.

Voice control is increasingly common in American households. Experts warn that businesses that embrace voice control will inevitably become obsolete.

Residential security systems legislation are crucial to understanding. Confirm your jurisdiction’s compliance. There are other constraints as well, such as whether or not the gadget is able to record audio. Conversations in one’s own home may be captured under federal and state wiretapping legislation.

i got no response on reddit, hoping someone here can direct me to a better place to ask or will actually know how to do this

Emergency button: is there a way to use my Android phone to revoke the device access from my google accounts, for all accounts and devices other than my phone, in one button? like a coded widget or shortcut button or something, that’s a one-touch emergency thing.

I haveAndroid version 10 and Nova launcher pro. My family are foul, so I would like to have an option to quickly remove all device access, which will sign out all my accounts everywhere, so that nobody can delete my stuff or ruin my data even if they have my password.

I have a Chromebook that only needs a password unless you actually do the log out every single time you walk away from it. I really don’t want to screw around with that in my everyday life. And my family are cunts, so I really need to be able to secure access from anywhere, should they force me out or try forced hospitalisation again. Or just steal my stuff and get some tech to break in. 

What I’m talking about here is an emergency button, like say the cops are forcing you to go somewhere because your family filed a false report against you. You do not want to leave any device with any account access behind. It is tedious to go through every account and remove them all manually, one by one, from every device, through the Google dashboard.

I would like a way to automate that. I have an emergency lockdown for my phone itself, and I’d think you can revoke everything but the device you’re actually on, so leaving my phone with access is fine. If I could have the option to revoke everything, that’d be good too.

I know there’s shortcuts in the Nova launcher, but nothing like this. All I’m getting from searching is stuff about doing it manually from the dashboard.

I have Titan keys, but the problem is still that I need to revoke access of other accounts and to other devices fast. Keys protect nothing when you’re already signed in. Neither do prompts or any other two factor. I can’t settle for signing out, because that can be gotten around if family have my password. I’ve suspected they put a camera somewhere. 

I don’t think what you’re asking for is possible without a lot of coding experience, especially if the control device is an Android device rather than the actual PC. I did spend my morning researching this and found some options that might be helpful - if any of my followers have better ideas, please add them! And I apologize if this isn’t what you’re looking for or you’ve already tried these

Check for a Keylogger

You mentioned they may have “put a camera somewhere.” I don’t know how technically savvy your family is, but it’s possible a shared computer has a keylogger installed or physically in the usb port. There’s no definitive way to find them all outside of malware detection software, looking through Task Manager, and other basic security review.

2FA

You said you “can’t settle for signing out, because that can be gotten around if family [has your] password” - I’m not clear what you mean by this since you imply you’re already using 2FA and Titan Keys. If you sign out and you have 2FA, how can they sign back in even with your password?

If your current number is compromised, you can make a new account and open a new Google Voice number as your backup. There are 2FA options like Google Authenticator which lets you to do this offline, as well as other 2FA apps, some with more thorough backup options likeAuthenticator Pro. Though given that you already have Titan Keys, you may have already attempted these

Checking Third Party Permissions

I know some parents like to install apps without their child’s knowledge - it might be good to routinely check which apps have what permissions to your account. You can do that by looking at yourLinked Accounts and yourPermissions

In your case, I would play it safe and ensure that, within Permissions, your Google Account sign-in prompts toggle is OFF:

Shortcut to Devices

This is the closest thing I could find to what I think you’re asking for - while I don’t think a single-push, auto-revoke-access-except-for-this-device widget is possible, you can create shortcuts to websites, apps, activities, etc. Here’s one app for shortcuts, but there are many others.

Again, something you can play around with, but some shortcuts that you might want instant access to:

Your Devices - This shows where you’re currently logged in. Clicking More Details of any device should prompt the following - it might be possible to make a shortcut directly to these pages or even directly to the Sign out page:

Change Password-This is a bit harder because I can’t verify that there’s a direct “Change Password” link, so what I posted here may not work

Recent Gmail Activity - Don’t know how useful this would be, but Bottom Right Corner Desktop Gmail > Click Details> Table of most recent times gmail was accessed, including access type, IP  address, and date/time.

Tasker/Automate Apps

If I find anything, I’ll update this later, but it FEELS like you should be able to secure your devices remotely via automation. Being on Android 10 might be an issue, since we haven’t unpacked all the major and minor changes made to the system yet.

I’m sorry you have to go through so many hoops to protect yourself. I hope you (or anyone reading this) finds something in this that helps.

Thanks! I’ll look into all this. For the stuff about getting into my computer even when I’m signed out, I have a Chromebook, and if you turn off the wifi then try to sign in, it does not ask for any two factor authentication. You can just get in then turn the wifi back on. Full access. The only way to stop this is to revoke device access to your account. Security stuff is meant to prevent fishing, not meant to prevent physical attacks.

I don’t think there are keyloggers, because it’s Google tech. I’ve done physical things not involving tech and my family somehow knew. Like that I was looking at the streaks of mold in the bathroom.

I was afraid this stuff would need heavy coding to accomplish. If I have a button to go to the website, then I don’t see why it can’t also navigate that site for me and click stuff? Isn’t that what buying bots do to purchase stuff real fast? Is this what you meant with Tasker?

I looked into that Chromebook issue and what a trash way to go on google’s part. Apparently Chromebook is treated as a Trusted Device once you use 2FA one time, and doesn’t require it after AND the disable wifi thing is a documented and accepted vulnerability. Here’s a potential fix:

1. Revoke all trusted devices - on the 2FA page, scroll to the bottom to Devices you trust and click Revoke All. This *should* force all your devices to require 2FA no matter  what. While you’re on that page, make sure you have other offline verification methods set up.
2. On your Chromebook, open Settings>People>Manage other People. De-select the option “Show usernames and photos on the sign-in screen.”
3. Look into setting up Google Advanced Protection Program, though this might be overkill - read more about it here.

By Shardell Joseph 

An associate professor at MIT University, USA, has written a new book named Design Justice examining the way in which technology can be functional for more people within the society. The new book focuses on the correlation between technology, design, and social justice.

In the book, Design Justice: Community Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need, Sasha Constanza-Chock shared their experience as a transgender and nonbinary person, and explained how technology could help improve the experiences of others that belong to minority groups.

Highlighting the biases built into everyday objects, including software interfaces, medical devices, social media, and the built environment, Constanza-Chock examined how these biases reflect existing power structures in society. published by the MIT Press, the book offers a framework for fixing the shortcomings of technology in society, while suggesting methods of technology design that can be used to help build a more inclusive future.

‘Design justice is both a community of practice, and a framework for analysis,’ said Costanza-Chock, who is the Mitsui Career Development Associate Professor in MIT’s Comparative Media Studies/Writing program. ‘In the book I’m trying to both narrate the emergence of this community, based on my own participation in it, and rethink some of the core concepts from design theory through this lens.’

In one particular example, Constanza-Chock talked about how something as simple as going through airport security can become an unusually uncomfortable process. Airport’s tend to be set up with security millimetre wave scanners which are set up with binary, male or female configurations. To operate the machine, agents press a button based on their assumptions about the person entering the scanner – blue for ‘boy,’ or pink for ‘girl’. As a non-binary person, Constanza-Chock would always be flagged by the machine when travelling, prompted for a hands-on check by security officials.

‘I know I’m almost certainly about to experience an embarrassing, uncomfortable, and perhaps humiliating search… after my body is flagged as anomalous by the millimetre wave scanner,’ Constanza-Chock wrote in the book.

This is an experience familiar to many who fall outside the system’s norms, Costanza-Chock explains – trans and gender nonconforming people’s bodies, black women’s hair, head wraps, and assistive devices are regularly flagged as ‘risky’.

The book also looks at the issue of who designs technology, a subject Costanza-Chock has examined extensively — for instance in the 2018 report ‘#MoreThanCode,’ which pointed out the need for more systematic inclusion and equity efforts in the emerging field of public interest technology.

Costanza-Chock, hopes the book will interest people not only for the criticism it offers, but as a way of moving forward and deploying better practices.

‘My book is not primarily or only critique,’ Costanza-Chock said. ‘One of the things about the Design Justice Network is that we try to spend more time building than tearing down. I think design justice is about articulating a critique, while constantly trying to point toward ways of doing things better.’

SSL security, which has been available on the dashboard for a while, is now here for blogs. To turn it on, go to your blog settings and enable “Always serve blog over SSL.” Mmmmm, security. Check out our help docs for more info.

An update on this:

• SSL is being turned on by default for all Tumblrs that use our Official theme on the web, except those with custom domains. Because, well…Optica is the default theme, and why shouldn’t secure be the default?
  
• This change only affects the web, because the mobile apps already use SSL all the time for your safety.
• We don’t recommend it, but if for some reason you need to disable SSL, you can do so via your blog settings on the web, by turning off the “Always serve blog over SSL” option.

Update to the update: Now SSL is available for blogs with custom domains, too. To turn it on, go to your blog settings and enable “Always serve blog over SSL.” Once you’ve done that, it takes a while (typically less than a day) for the SSL on custom domains to activate. We’ll send you an email when it’s ready.

Yet another update: SSL is now being turned on by default for ALL Tumblrs that use our Official theme on the web. Even though we don’t recommend it, you can still turn it off in your blog settings.

Caller: “This guy needs an ambulance I think. I’m not sure what’s happened, but he’s bleeding, um, profusiously.

Me: “I would have asked her if he choked himself with the intention to harm himself. Just give us an idea of his state of mind.”
Trainee: “Why else would anyone choke themselves?”

Trainee: “A-what a whatta?”
Me: “Oh lord. Here, let me google this, but NOT on the work computer.”
