      <description><![CDATA[The adage "you get what you pay for" is just as true when dealing with your security as anything else in life. The big difference is however, your life could easily hinge on the effectiveness of your security system. 
For decades alarm systems have been providing security for millions of homes and businesses. From year to year the features and benefits provided by alarm systems change rapidly. Systems can be installed that communicate using a cellular communicator and are powered totally with solar energy. Another technology feature that is available to consumers is video enhancement. Video can be integrated with your alarm system to perform a multitude of tasks. 
When the kids come home from school and disarm the alarm system you can see them on your computer at work or on your smartphone while you are at the mall. If you have a burglary occur at home, the central station upon receiving the alarm signal simply takes a quick “live view” using your video enabled alarm system.

      <description><![CDATA[We have clients come to us all of the time wanting to solve employee theft. While our electronic systems can solve many of their problems, there are other things that need to be considered when eliminating and preventing employee theft and fraud. Here are 9 of the best ways. 
1. Hotlines: have a number, email, or drop box where employees can inform you of their suspicions. 
2. Install a Surveillance System: cameras can help you track where and when theft is happening. They also provide hard proof if legal action is necessary.  
3. Random Checks: Perform random audits and inventory checks to keep your employees honest. Performing these regularly will also keep employees singled out when they are checked.
4. Keep Your Door Open: Allow employees to feel comfortable discussing their concerns with management. When they do discuss things with you be honest and supportive.

Is There A Difference Between Cost And Price?
 
Have you ever ask yourself that question? Have you ever considered the differences? Let’s say the cost of Widget A is $1000 and the cost of Widget B is $500. Up front there is a price difference between the two Widgets of $500. Which of the two Widgets actually cost more? Widget A or Widget B? 
 
Well, let’s examine the scenario a little closer. Widget A comes from a local provider, while Widget B would be supplied by a provider an hour away. Widget A is made in North America. Widget B is made somewhere in the Far East. The provider of Widget A handles the entire process in house. The provider of Widget B subcontracts all of the process out to third party vendors. Widget A has monthly expenses of $30. Widget B has monthly expenses of $37.
