			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Motion activated <a href="http://www.ballardsecurity.com/blog/archives/21"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  rel="external">video security</a> surveillance systems are advantageous for preventing crimes or at least having enough advance warning to notify police. When you rely on someone to monitor a computer screen it is very difficult to always have your eyes on every part of the property. </p>
<p>While someone is monitoring one part of the parking lot someone could be breaking into the building from the other side. It’s impossible to keep focused on all angles of a building and the surrounding areas unless you have several people monitoring different areas.</p>
<p>On the other hand motion activated video security surveillance systems will detect movement on the premises. If you have motion lights this will alert the intruder that he or she is being watched since the motion lights will illuminate the entire area thus making it easier for those monitoring the computer screen to identify the potential criminal.</p>
<p>When criminals know you can capture their movements with a video surveillance system, they are less likely to make your property a potential target for criminal acts. The truth is criminals are quite lazy in most cases. Traditionally they are looking for their easiest target. </p>
<p>An easy target would include a location without surveillance equipment or <a href="http://www.ballardsecurity.com/" target=_blank >security systems</a> in plain view. While some businesses and homes choose to hide their video security surveillance systems, it’s often a good idea to allow them to be seen by potential criminals so they’ll be less likely to intrude.</p>
<p>Overall, motion activated video security surveillance systems are great for businesses and for homeowners who need extra protection. They can give the security you desire and help deter crimes from occurring in your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes a sign may warn that <a href="http://www.ballardsecurity.com/systemfiles/homeoffice.html" target=_blank >digital video surveillance</a> is covering an area, and even if there is no actual visual surveillance then some malicious agents will be deterred by the belief that there may be. Also, often when there is actual security present in an area, such as video surveillance, an alarm system in a home, or an anti-theft system in a car.</p>
<p>Burglars know that there are many houses with little or no home security measures, which could provide softer targets. By installing a few simple home security measures such as an alarm, window locks and a CCTV system, you can greatly reduce your chances of falling victim to burglary. Burglars like easy opportunities. They donâ€™t like locked windows because breaking glass attracts attention. Burglars use the ownerâ€™s absence to their own advantage.</p>
<p>Home security is an issue to which we all need to give a large thought. Home security is a serious business and you are encouraged to speak with a professional security expert for more information. Home security isn&#8217;t just about your own home, either. A lot of determining whether or not you&#8217;re a significant risk involves taking stock of your neighborhood including public safety facilities like police and fire stations. </p>
<p>Home security is important for everybody. You can maintain home security in numerous ways including installing one or multiple home security cameras in your home. Home Security is more important today than ever before. Not only does a Monitored Alarm System provide you with peace of mind, but it actually significantly decreases your chances of being victimized in your own home or business.</p>
<p>Home security is one of the easiest ways to protect our family members and our possessions. The police and fire departments do excellent jobs but they canâ€™t be every where so it falls to us to help in the protection of our homes. Home security is a responsibility. </p>
<p>Owning a home is a milestone for most people, but when you take on the responsibility of a home, you become liable for all incidences that may occur because of your stance on home security. </p>
<p>Home Security is one of the most important things that anyone can invest in. The fact of the matter is that homes that have some form of home security or another are less likely to have burglaries and break-ins than homes that don&#8217;t have some form of home security.</p>

Alert escalates if no action is taken within user defined time frames.  Escalation can mean sending video info to the next person on the list, or multiple persons either at your facility or anywhere outside your facility, phone calling or emailing notifications, contacting private security guards or remote monitoring facilities, sounding alarms, flashing lights, etc.</p>
