Take Control Of Any Situation
Late
one evening last fall, an elderly woman in soaking wet clothes created
a disturbance near the fountain at our malls east end. As a crowd
of onlookers grew, security guards arrived and tried to calm her. If it
werent for our Calibur multiplexer, we wouldnt have learned
about a robbery in progress at the other end of the mall. After sensing
motion near a seldom-used maintenance elevator, the Calibur multiplexer
triggered an alarm, told our VCR to record real-time video from the camera
near the elevator, and automatically dialed the police. At the same time,
it began displaying views from the maintenance hallway and parking structure
on a monitor in our guard room. What our personnel sawand the VCR
tape confirmedwas two suspects dressed in coveralls and carrying
tool boxes entering the elevator and later escaping through the maintenance
hallway and driving off in an electricians van. The recording helped
police arrest them, and later we showed it in court to identify one of
the workmen as a mall employee. No other multiplexer we considered
for our security system could have done all this. Calibur products give
me the picture quality and automation features I need to take control
of any situation.
