    Social Media Posts

    Many people post on social networks to share information with friends and family, to have conversations, and to show the world how their lives are going. However, when you post online, it’s important to remember that people other than your intended audience could see your posts. Unfortunately, criminals frequently look to social media for opportunities to rob unsuspecting victims. Even if you have strict privacy settings on your accounts, the information that you post can still get out.

    One of the most common ways that criminals use social media to commit crimes is by researching when people won’t be home and taking this opportunity to break into their properties.

    By sharing holiday plans in real-time online, you let criminals know that you’ll be out of town for a while. They can use this information to rob your home when they know you won’t be around.

    It’s much safer to share vacation details after the fact, once you have arrived home safely. Tell individual friends and family members in person the dates that you’ll be away and don’t post these details online.

    How else can you protect yourself? By ensuring that you have a monitored security system installed that will alert you (and the authorities) if a crime takes place at your property while you are away. A home alarm system that also includes video surveillance camera monitoring is an even better set up. This way, even if you are away from home, your property will be watched over by a central monitoring station. In the event of a crime or other trouble conditions, both you and the authorities will be notified right away.

    Caught On Camera

    After a local heist at a KELCOM retail store, a 49 year old man faces charges of theft in Chatham.

     

    The Chatham-Kent Police service confirms a man entered the business on Kiel Dr. last Saturday. A watch display was removed, and the man fled the scene.

  • Don’t Leave Your Keys

    Don’t Leave Your Keys

    According to an article on Windsorite Dot CA, Windsor Police say that here have been 388 vehicles stolen in Windsor so far this year and 50 of these were stolen simply by people leaving their spare keys in the vehicle.

    With the cold weather finally here to stay for the season, it is easy to want to leave your car running while doing errands. Consider this: The same article says that since October Windsor Police report 17 vehicles stolen where the keys were left inside and the doors were left unlocked. In some instances the key set also contained house keys and the suspects also broke into the owner’s home. These stolen vehicles are also frequently used to commit other criminal offences.

    In the article, Police say that owners need to be mindful of their insurance policy because leaving keys in the vehicle may potentially void their coverage.

    While many new vehicles come with a keyless push button start while having your key fob. This technological advancement may be convenient but do not leave keys in vehicles. Lock your car doors and take your keys with you.

    In addition to locking your vehicle, never leaving the keys in the ignition and keeping valuables out of sight, other important vehicle safety tips include:

    • Using a car security system such as an alarm
    • Installing a physical theft prevention device that locks the steering wheel or brakes
    • Parking in well-lit, well-traveled areas
    • Keeping your vehicle inside a locked garage whenever possible

    If warming your car up at home is important, but you’d like to have some added security, consider installing Video Surveillance cameras. With our Total Connect app, you’ll be be able to check in on those cameras in real time. To learn more, call 1-800-265-5317 or just CLICK HERE.

    Video As A Deterrent

    Local Alarm Company Helped To Catch Subway Robber
    By Owen Wolter
    A local security alarm company gets the credit for helping to catch the man who allegedly robbed Subway restaurants five time in Windsor.
    Security One Alarm Systems says their hold up alarm system, combined with video surveillance, helped to identify the suspect.
    “We are pleased to hear the reports that no one was injured during this string of robberies,” said director of marketing Corey Robertson, who noted Security One provided video footage to Windsor Police”
    “The video surveillance footage provided showed a clear image of the individual being sought by police,” he said.
    Robertson said police were contacted by Security One within 18 seconds of having received a “Hold Up” alarm and were dispatched with 34 seconds later.
    Police arrested a man allegedly responsible for the robberies in Toronto.
    In each robbery, a lone male suspect entered the restaurants and demanded money from the tills. No weapon was seen in any of the incidents.
    Robertson praised video surveillance for being a very effective tool to combat crime, noting crime stats from Windsor Police show a break and enter, or attempted break and enter, happens almost every 5.5 hours in the city.
    “Video surveillance is an excellent deterrent to crime, and helps in the identification of suspects, as was the case in this instance.”

  • Summer Safety Tips

    Summer Safety Tips

    Summer breezes and family time are what this time of year is all about. With that in mind there some safety tips that you need to keep in mind.

    • Keep doors in your home closed and locked including your garage doors. An open door is an invitation.

    • Be a good neighbour and alert police to any unusual or suspicious activity in your community.

    • Plan for vacations by having your mail and newspapers stopped or having a friend pick them up. Leave inside lights on timers to create the impression that your house is occupied. Be sure to set your alarm system. Have a lawn service or neighbour mow your lawn.

    • Avoid home improvement scams and deception burglaries by taking a pro-active approach. Be particularly alert to anyone in your neighbourhood looking to perform home repairs and asking to gain entry into your home. Ask to see identification and let them know you are going to call and get verification from their company before allowing them inside. If they are legitimate, they won’t mind the wait.

    • Ensure sheds are also secure this summer by installing enhanced locks. Many of us don’t consider the shed or garage when looking at home security; however the items they contain are often very expensive, items like lawnmowers and power tools and often targeted by thieves.

    • Consideration should also be given to installing a security alarm, cameras or sensor lights. Any of these could enhance home security and deter thieves.

  • IP Cameras

    IP Cameras

    A great feature of Security ONE’s home automation system is video surveillance. With an IP camera and our award-winning app, Total Connect from Honeywell, you can view a live video of your home at anytime from anywhere.

    SBEXRF-00010510-001

    When considering indoor video surveillance there two camera types you need to know about: the fixed camera, and pan-tilt-zoom (or PTZ) camera.

    The PTZ camera is a little more advanced and gives better functionality and freedom. The camera lets you move it around, zoom in and out, and see multiple angles of the room it is in. Because it’s an IP address camera, you can see it from an internet browser – including your smart phone or tablet.

    All that may sound complicated, but nothing could be easier. The cameras, whether fixed or PTZ, connect right into a wireless router, and only needs to plugged into an outlet to work.
