NOW AVAILABLE! Dual-Path Alarm Communicator (GSM Version)

ELK-C1M14GSM Seconds count in an emergency situation to save lives and assets. ELK's new C1M1 Dual Path Communicator significantly reduces transmission time of emergency messages. It connects directly to the M1 Control and does not require dial capture or data bus decoding which leads to delays with other communicators. In addition, there is no cloud server to compromise or delay the communications.

C1M1 provides super-fast, full data communications to Central Monitoring Stations over IP and cellular pathways. Transmissions are automatically directed over the best pathway for quickest communications. Periodic tests are sent over both pathways to ensure reliable communications and C1M1 can automatically report a pathway outage over the remaining pathway.

C1M1 also supports remote access with no port forwarding or extra fees. Installers can easily activate and manage C1M1 communicators, as well as remotely program the M1 control over the IP or cellular pathway. End users can remotely arm/disarm the M1 control in addition to viewing system status, accessing recent history, and receiving email/text alerts.

Burglar alarm owners must register with Suffolk County or face hefty fines for false alarms

Source : Greater Patchogue

Suffolk County officials are urging all residential homeowners and commercial establishments to register their burglar alarms with the county or face hefty fines — even for first-time false alarms.
Registering an alarm costs $100 for businesses and $50 for homeowners.

The new Suffolk County law went into effect last month and comes in response to the 97,000 false alarms police officers responded to in 2015, which amounted to some 32,000 in wasted patrol hours, officials said.

Registered alarm owners will get two free passes for false alarms per year, after which the fees will be $100 for each residential false alarm and $250 for each false alarm at a non-residential building, including nonprofit organizations such as churches.

Non-registered alarm owners will have to pay fees for any false alarm.

A false alarm is defined in the legislation, which appears below, as an alarm signal that results in a police response for something other than an unlawful act or emergency at the home or business/organization.

The permits have to be renewed annually, and the fee for renewing a permit is 50 percent less than the initial registration fees.

The law was passed in November and went into effect June 1.
REGISTRATION
Online by clicking the ‘alarm management’ button at SuffolkPD.org.
In person at SCPD headquarters 30 Yaphank Avenue between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, excluding holidays.
By mail by picking up an application at your local precinct or by downloading the permit form at SuffolkPD.org. Mail the completed form and fee to the AMPS Office at 30 Yaphank Ave, Yaphank, NY 11980

NOW AVAILABLE! Cash Register to video interface for HD-TVI,AHD, & HD-CVI


New Cash Register to video interface from AVE for HD-TVI, AHD, & HD-CVI

As long as there have been employees, there has been employee theft!

Roughly 1 out of 3 employees will steal every chance they get. Another 1 out of 3 will steal at least once. The problem for a business owner is that they cannot tell which employee steals and which one is honest by looking at the surveillance video.

Since 1988, American Video Equipment (AVE) has been supplying the security industry with the VSI-Pro Cash Register to video interface. The 1st generation VSIPro was for CVBS or composite video.  The VSIPro is solution for restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, general retail, newsstands, bars, and any other place that has a cash register.

The VSIPro works by superimposing the transaction information on the video so that there is no doubt as to what the cashier is doing. Without a VSIPro there is no way to tell if the cashier is stealing or not!

The AVE VSIPro is currently in use by Fast Food Restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Subway, Quiznos, Auntie Anne’s, and more. Gas Station/Convenience store chains like Exxon, Chevron, Valero, Unocal 76, Arco-AM/PM, Sunoco, 7-11 and many more.

Other business types that utilize the AVE VSIPro include: Grocery Stores, Casinos, Banks (money counters) Thrift shops, Hair Salons, Bars, Restaurants, Golf Pro Shops, Gift Shops, General Retail, snack bars, rental car companies, Sporting Goods Stores, Bait and Tackle shops and more.

In May of this year we released the 1st ever cash register to video interface compatible with HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD, & CBVS . The all new VSIPro-HD is compatible with hundreds of different cash registers and POS systems.

The VSIPro-HD will pay for itself in a matter of weeks in most cases by helping a business owner identify dishonest employees quickly.
