Interior security systems are great until a sledgehammer comes through a window and suddenly, a group of four intruders are in the living room. What now? Could the intruders have been detected well before they “got to the front window”? Can we get detections that allow a response that moves loved ones to positions of protection and accountability? YES. Perimeter detection sensors play a crucial role...

A LAYERED APPROACH TO THREAT DETECTION AND MITIGATION, WITH ESCALATION Cameras offer simple, but useful, detection of breach, yet still, humans monitoring 24x7 begin to miss anomalous activity after 24 minutes (MIT study) due to normal cognitive processing by the human brain. The brain gets "tired", very quickly, after watching 24 screens in real-time. Even then, detections are only that which a trained eye can see. ...

Geopolitical and even transnational shaping of highly mobile and violent burglary rings has prompted discussion and transactions across our business. These now include repeatable "method of operations" (MO's), but also alarming tactics per compound breaches, but also armed incursions and methods that include targeted communities and homes (largely, intelligence-based identification of targets of opportunities). This is not our parent's worry of threat to our families. Specifically,...
