HD VIDEO MYTHS AND FACTS

 

 HD Video Myths & Facts

We have spent thousands of hours perfecting ReedHD Hi-Def Camera designs and installations. We know the right cameras for the right locations and we've even met with the Saskatoon Police to determine how to solve more crimes.

We've installed over 
5000 cameras in Saskatchewan and wanted to share with you some common Myths.


Myth #1:  HD Video Cameras Always Capture Faces and License Plates

  • False
  • Many factors have an effect on the image quality - camera type, camera placement, distance to the target, target speed, the weather, light conditions, and video management software.

Myth #2:  HD Video Camera Images Can Be Manipulated Like on TV Shows and Movies

  • False
  • Hollywood glamorizes what you can do with recorded HD images and most of what you see on TV cannot be done.
  • ReedHD I.P. Video Management Software has an exclusive Display Adjustment feature (see images above).
  • We can adjust the brightness and contrast of recorded video to provide the Saskatoon Police an image they can use.
  • We can also Zoom In on recorded video to see Faces and License Plates (see Myth #1).   


Myth #3:  Wireless HD Video Cameras Can Be Installed Anywhere

  • False
  • Wireless HD cameras can transmit wireless signals, but still require a power source.
  • Most HD cameras are not wireless.
  • HD cameras must be plugged into a power outlet or wired into a network.
  • We can create a wireless bridge and transmit signals many KM's when there is direct line of site.
  • Trees, windows, buildings, walls, and RF interference have a direct effect on signal quality.

REED SECURITY SAVES THE DAY WITH FIRE PROTECTION

 

 

FIRE!


The Problem:
 
  • Imagine getting a phone call from the Fire Department that your Home or Business just burnt to the ground (if you are having problems imagining watch this video)
  • Fires are traumatic, disruptive, and cost a lot of money.
  • In addition to destroying property, possessions, and keepsakes - they Kill People, Pets, and Businesses.   
 
The Solution:
 
  • All Reed Security Burglar Alarm systems can be turned into Fire Protection Systems by adding monitored smoke sensors and heat sensors.
  • Smoke Sensors cost anywhere from *$100 to $150 each.
  • Your existing smoke sensors make noise to alert your family/co-workers, but they can't do anything when you are away.
  • Reed Security monitored smoke sensors are connected to our 24/7 Monitoring Stations. When we get an alarm we immediately dispatch the Fire Department and notify your key-holders.
  • Losses to Fire are reduced or avoided all together.
  • Bonus: Your Insurance Company may provide additional discounts when you have Reed Security fire protection. Typical discounts are 10% to 25%.  
 
The Testimonial:

"I often worried about a fire causing damage to our building and decided to install monitored smoke detectors. I'm So Glad We Did - Reed Security and the Saskatoon Fire Department recently saved the day."

HOW TO AVOID A BREAK-IN

Installing a security system will decrease the odds of having a break-in by nearly 400%. There are a few more things you can do to keep the odds in your favor.

1. Use common sense.
  • If you lose a key, get the locks changed.
  • Ask all strangers for identification.
  • DO NOT advertise on FaceBook that you are on vacation
  • Never hide an extra key outdoor - especially underneath a mat or on top of a light fixture. This is the first place the bad guys look. Leave an extra house key with a friend or a neighbor.
2. Make it difficult.
  • Door chains are easy to bypass. Install deadbolts.
  • Install a stopper or stick on all sliding doors and windows.
  • Install window bars on all basement windows.
  • Install exterior motion lights.
3. Break-in's occur when you are away.
  • Make sure all doors and windows are properly locked.
  • Keep your premises well lit at night. Install timers that turn lights on at different times. This gives the appearance that someone is home.
  • If you are going on holidays, have someone look after things such as collecting your mail and newspapers and cutting your lawn.
  • Advise our Rapid Response Monitoring Station you will be away.
4. In case you do have a break-in:
  • If it looks like a door or window was forced open, do not go inside. The Burglar may still be on site. Call the Police from your cellular phone or from a neighbor's house and wait.
  • For insurance purposes, photograph or videotape the contents of your home. Keep all receipts in a safe and easy to find location.
  • Write down the model and serial number of all electronics.
  • If you didn't already have a security system, now is the time to install one. A second break-in is possible after the insurance company replaces your original goods.
