Late one evening last fall, an elderly woman in soaking wet clothes created a disturbance near the fountain at our mall’s east end. As a crowd of onlookers grew, security guards arrived and tried to calm her. If it weren’t for our Calibur multiplexer, we wouldn’t 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 saw—and the VCR tape confirmed—was two suspects dressed in coveralls and carrying tool boxes entering the elevator and later escaping through the maintenance hallway and driving off in an electrician’s 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.
