 This summer’s blistering heat has stressed air conditioners and the power grid to their breaking points. When these systems fail, we’re all sent scrambling to find ways to keep from broiling. But it’s not just people who need to stay cool. Excessive temperatures can cause computers and other equipment to overheat, potentially damaging equipment and destroying data.
The most critical computer equipment in most companies is the servers, network routers, and storage devices sitting in your server room. It’s crucial that you know when they’re threatened by heat and other environmental problems. DGA ServerGuard is a customizable environmental monitoring and security system that warns of problems in your server room. ServerGuard can be configured to immediately notify you when temperature and humidity are outside preset ranges, as well as if water is present. ServerGuard can also integrate access control so you can monitor and restrict who enters your server room, and video surveillance to record everything that happens inside. ServerGuard has several ways to send you alert messages including email, SMS text and telephone, so the message goes through even if your network is down. It’s hard to believe, but we’re only halfway through this scorching summer. Don’t let the heat knock your business out cold.

Too many video surveillance systems fail to record or archive important incidents because of improper installation, inadequate user training, or poor servicing. DGA Security Systems provides managed video surveillance that addresses these problems by offering expert design and installation, and ongoing training, service and support. Today, DGA announces the launch of its Video Clip Retrieval Service, the latest enhancement to its managed surveillance solution.
Video Clip Retrieval makes accessing surveillance video as easy as filling out a web form. Once DGA receives a request from a customer, its experienced technicians log into the surveillance system, isolate the required video segments, post them to a secure web site for quick access, and deliver a copy to the customer on DVD. DGA also archives the requested footage in its highly secure UL Listed monitoring center. Since video surveillance DVRs (digital video recorders) constantly overwrite old video to make room for new video, this provides an added safeguard against losing footage video. DGA customers can always access their video when they need additional copies at a later date, such as for legal or insurance purposes. DGA’s Video Clip Retrieval Service is a standard part of DGA’s managed video surveillance service. Companies that don’t use a managed surveillance service are left on their own when an incident occurs. They need to figure out if the event was actually recorded and, if so, how to save it before it is deleted. “The market has many video surveillance DVR systems that are being promoted as set-it-and-forget-it solutions, but a surveillance system is only as good as the company that stands behind it,” said Stanley Oppenheim, DGA’s founder and president. “Video Clip Retrieval is another example of how DGA is always there to help our customers when they need it most.”  Join us this Wednesday and Thursday at the Javits Center for the largest buildings event in the NY region, the Buildings NY Show.

No business is completely safe from robbery, but you should be prepared to respond safely. Follow these tips from Jewelers Mutual to help protect yourself and your customers. A story in the New York Post highlights how a properly designed, high-quality video surveillance system can be indispensable in solving crimes. According to the Post, police charged two Diamond District wholesalers with insurance fraud and other crimes for staging a fake $4 million jewel robbery at a firm located in 2 West 46th Street in 2008. According to the article: “Law enforcement sources said enhanced video surveillance footage showed the owners stealing the jewelry prior to the fake heist.” The property owners of 2 West 46th Street use a DGA video surveillance system. Contact DGA today for information on how a DGA video surveillance system can protect your building.  Today, the New York Daily News highlighted Michael Bolla and Michael Daniel’s beautifully restored townhouse, 436 West 20th Street. The article notes, “Already, four of the five homes have rented, three to celebrities. A rock star, actress, lawyer/banker couple and relative of a prime minister have leased the floor-through homes…”
Given the high-profile residents, security is a major concern. According to the article, “Thieves and paparazzi should know that the place is secure. The windows are bulletproof, the apartments are equipped with panic buttons, and on-call armed guards wait just 10 minutes away.” Hop over to the property’s website and you’ll see that Bolla and Daniels have entrusted the building’s security to DGA.
