Computers are everywhere and we rely on them daily. Can you imagine...you walk into your office one day and suddenly you realize your computer is missing. Can you easily replace the hardware? Can you easily reconstruct the data? Are you concerned about the stolen data now in the hands of others? What about those deleted files that really still do exist on the hard drive. Usually only the file name is deleted from the directory and someone with a utility program can find info that you don't want him to have. Did you know that computer theft is second only to automobile theft? There are about $10 Billion worth of computers stolen annually. Many computers disappear when the building security system is turned off during daytime hours. Until recently there was not much you could do about this problem, then LineSense was invented.
LineSense was developed to combat the high theft rate of office and laboratory equipment such as computers, electronic balances, fax machines etc. During theft they are all disconnected from the AC power, so this was the common link that we investigated and subsequently invented and patented LineSense.
LineSense is a high tech anti-theft electronic security sensor incorporating a sense lead, e-field detector, amplifier, power supply, signal processor and rf transmitter with several built in tamper detect circuits for cut wires, cover removal and sensor pry off. The transmitter is crystal controlled for maximum stability and range. Each LineSense regularly transmits a supervisory signal to insure system integrity. LineSense detects a weak e-field that is present near the outer layer of a common three wire, 110 VAC power cord, through its sense lead which is wrapped around the cord. This field is present while the cord is plugged into a live outlet even if the computer is turned off. At the first sign of theft or tampering, LineSense transmits a digitally encoded radio frequency signal to an ITI receiver for on premise security officers to respond.
Our units in the field have been working great now for over six years. There is nothing else that works like LineSense. End users report that they are now able to eliminate theft as well as provide more accurate and timely inventory control since using LineSense. Prior to LineSense some thefts weren't noticed for months until an inventory was taken. Users of electronic balances for example would simply take another one from somewhere else in the facility if theirs was missing and so on.
Monitors up to 99 LineSense units each and displays the unit ID number.
Allows authorized personnel to enter access code and bypass any sensor and to view the status of an SX-V Special CPU.
Receives calls dialed over normal telephone lines from SX-V's to remotely monitor alarms, remote control program and printout activity.
LineSense is now supplied with very high bond adhesive foam. Just peel protective strip from base of LineSense and press into place. Programming is identical and it transmits supervisory, tamper, alarm, and restore signals. The professional alarm installer should be familiar with the programming and operation of the ITI system.
The ITI learn mode transmitters are made with a unique code built in. There is no house code or sensor code to contend with and it does not require programming of the transmitter. It is only necessary to tell the control panel what sensor group you want next and then the sensor number and then you trip the tamper on the sensor. The control panel then stores this info. The memory is retained even if the battery dies after about six years. The sense lead and ground wires are the reverse of the non learnmode type. The new model SX-V Special control panel can accept up to 99 learn mode transmitters.
We install and maintain monitored burglar alarm systems in the Chicago area for commercial and residential customers. Primarily Ademco and ITI supervised wireless equipment is used. Communication with the central station monitor now gives detailed point identification to direct police to the exact door or window. Now you can call your alarm system from a TouchTone phone anywhere and with your personal code, arm or disarm, turn on a light or set back the thermostat. It even speaks to you and lets you know just what's going on. Every phone in your home can be a keypad.
There are now so many applications for cctv in security and process control. Covert cameras are built into clocks, thermostats, radios, mirrors, pictures and more... They have the ability to see without visible light. A single VCR can store the information from multiple cameras. The video can be viewed with appropriate equipment from remote location over a normal dial up telephone line as well as remote control of the camera pan, tilt and zoom. Gates can then be unlocked, doors opened, deliveries logged etc.
Central station monitoring is key to a professional alarm system. There needs to be someone to get the police or fire dispatched efficiently. You just can't count on a neighbor responding to a siren or bell that he hears. He might not be there at the time you need him. Professional UL approved central stations such as Emergency 24 keep detailed records, respond in a timely manner and really make the system work. They are there for your safety during weekends and holidays. They are there during vacation. For a link to the Emergency 24 site click here.
