I'm still here

believe it or not. I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but it has been a busy time of year. I have another system I am trying to finish out a system that I am installing while doing the electrical on it as well.

I was watching the local news the other night and it was saying that South Carolina is one of the states with the highest crime rate in it. It's too bad to have that kind of rating to boast (if you can call it boasting). Of coarse a video surveillance system can not stop a crime from happening, but it sure helps to be able to try to see who it was that committed the crime. We have many different systems you can choose from on our Video Surveillance Systems page.

It just keeps growing...

Crime rates that is. I saw on the local news station that there have been almost 100 car break ins since Oct. 9, 2008. I thought that I was just being paranoid when I installed a video surveillance system on my house, but after reading all the new headlines, I am feeling a little more secure now. It is nice to know that even in the dark, my cameras can see what is going on. You can see some of the cameras on my cameras page. If you have a big order, I will work with you more on the price. Contact me on my website.

More thefts

I had tried to sign up for an email from the local police department the other week in the Greenville, SC area so I could keep up with the crime in the local area. Since I don't live within the Greenville city limits, I can't receive the email updates, but it doesn't really matter since most of it is on the news anyway.

I just finished watching a news story on how people are still getting their A/C-Heat Pump units stolen these days. Since scrap copper brings in a lot of money in today's market, more people are finding that their Heat Pump or A/C doesn't work anymore only to find out the reason why is because their unit was stolen from outside. Since the outside unit works to cool the freon inside the unit, it has a copper coil that many people steal to bring them in about $50 to $100 in scrap metal.

I have a small USB DVR that anyone can purchase with up to 4 cameras to make a 4 camera system that won't break you in the process. I don't have it posted on my website yet, but I will try to get it there soon. With this set up, you can have a video surveillance system at your home for for under $1000.

Phone Call

I received a phone call today from one of the local TV stations' marketing department. The lady was wanting me to place an ad on the local TV station to promote my business. She had told me something that I knew takes place everyday even in Smalltown USA, but it doesn't really cross your mind everyday. Here in Greenville, SC on Monday night, there were 4 robberies that took place. Even the small towns are not as safe as they used to be. I remember when I was small that even back then my Grandmother used to sleep with her back door unlocked! Amazing how if you did that in today's time, you'd probably wake up to an uninvited guest. However, with a video surveillance system, you would have a recording of anything that happened at your house or business, even if you were not there. With most systems that we sell, you would even be able to check in on your home or business over the internet!

Changing weather

As the weather gets ready to change, and it gets colder, many people will begin to start their cars in the morning to warm it up. However, if you don't have a second set of keys to use, many people just leave them unlocked while they return to the warmth of their house. With crime rates continuing to climb, this will be an easy target for criminals on those cold mornings. While a video surveillance system may not prevent the lose of a car, it sure can capture the person stealing it. With most of the cameras that we sell, you can "see-in-the-dark" with these cameras. Check out all our systems and cameras at our website Video Surveillance Source. You can choose from a pre-planed system, or you can customize a system to fit your needs.

Sorry for the long delay....

With the economy being in the shape it has been, I have had little time to get on here. Even though it is slowing down, I have been extremely busy. I have been looking through the news lately and there was a big theft just today. The thing was, the theft occurred right behind the place of business to the tune of $5000 worth of jeans. I heard that they are planning to get a video surveillance system installed within the next week or so. Had they had one installed previously, they may have been able to find out who stole their merchandise.

If you're concerned with this economy and want a system, go to http://www.videosurveillance1.com to order a system for yourself.

Job almost completed

The last job I did is almost complete. The hidden cameras I installed are working great for the costumer, but they aren't quite catching everything he wants to see. I am having to order 3 new hidden cameras to install in the areas he wants covered. Hoping to have this system wrapped up within a 2 week period since most of my products come direct from the factory. I do have other items that are ordered within the US, and you can see any of them by going to my website at http://www.videosurveillance1.com. There are a few special order items there, but most of them I can get to you within a couple of days since most of it is ordered here in the US.
