Using Cameras to Stop Drivers from Illegally Passing Stopped School Buses

Iowa is looking to purchase CCTV cameras to help enforce an Iowa law that increased penalties for drivers who illegally drive past a school bus if it is stopped on a road.

The law, typically referred to as Kadyn’s Law, suspends a driver’s privileges for 30 days for a first conviction, increasing it to 90 days for a second conviction and 180 days for a third conviction. The law was promulgated in response to the 2011 death of 7-year-old Kadyn Halverson, who was hit by a car when she was crossing the road to board a school bus.

Randy Meyer, who oversees transportation  at Mason City and Clear Lake schools, believes an exterior camera on school buses are needed to assist in identifying more violators. Without the camera, it is hard to identify a car when the violation occurs because they drive by so fast. Only about 10% of drivers who pass the buses illegally get reported to the police.If a license plate can be captured on video, a potential violator may think twice and stop.

Access Control Offers a Second Level of Security

When you want to control who enters and exits your business but do not want to hire a person to watch the door, you need access control. An access control system allows only authorized people ability to enter a door, office or building. There are many types of access control systems; keypads, PIN access, key cards or fobs and biometrics. These access points can control one door or an entire building. The systems are suited for large facilities and small businesses that need to protect only one room. Some businesses want to increase the security and add video surveillance cameras by access points.

Key cards or tags allow a person to swipe or scan over a reader to permit access. These key cards can be personalized to detail exactly who is accessing the restricted doors and at what time they enter or exit. Reports can be printed and maintained for future reference. Some systems can be managed online and monitored online for the most up to date service in security available.

Comtex offers your business security solutions at a competitive price. You can get an advanced system for a great price with installation included. Comtex has been in business over 50 years. We are certified DSX access control dealers. Our NJ state license number is BF000479.

Mitel Awarded Top Honor With Five-Star Rating in CRN Magazine’s Partner Program Guide

Call Accounting Systems
Driven by Operational Excellence, Award Underscores Mitel’s Channel Success and Close Partner Network

OTTAWA , April 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CRN Magazine has given Mitel (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW) its five-star rating — the publication’s highest honor – in the latest Partner Program Guide. The award validates Mitel’s focus on operational excellence and close collaboration with its partner network for the North American partner program.

“Finally a partner program that makes sense, is fair to all partners and provides incentives for us to improve our organization. We especially like how Mitel’s partner program is aligned with our core business values. Through an easily accessible dashboard, Mitel provides key metrics that help us with customer service initiatives, help desk and installation efficiencies as well as ongoing knowledge base growth. Better yet, it also rewards us for our efforts to improve in all these areas,” said David Finch , president and CEO of ATCOM Business Technology Solutions.

The new program was developed through extensive one-on-one interviews with more than 50 partners to understand priorities, requirements and incentives first hand. That outcome led to a program that rewards Mitel partners based on purchase volume, certification credentials and specializations (Contact Center, Cloud and Hospitality). To measure performance, the Mitel program introduced the Partner Performance Index (PPI), a unique success metric that evaluates a partner’s operational and installation experience.

“While partner satisfaction is very important, we wanted to implement a program that would ultimately drive partner growth – operationally and in new practice areas. The program’s merit-based incentives allow Mitel to prescriptively help each partner improve their efficiencies and grow their business within select areas. In the end, this increases partner and end customer satisfaction,” said Sandy Janes , director channel strategy and partner program, Mitel .

“Our partners have embraced our program and feedback shows they are pleased with our direction. We are having more meaningful conversations with partners and work closer than ever to help them sell more Mitel solutions and grow their business,” said Sandra Hill , vice president, distribution and sales strategies for Mitel .

CRN’s Partner Program Guide attracts various solution providers looking for a resource to discover, research and evaluate vendor partner programs. The ratings weigh and compare benefits and incentives for organizations to decide how to make their vendor selections. CRN sees partner programs as an integral part of the overall value a solution provider will look for in a vendor.

The 5-Star rating is bestowed on programs whose overall rating is among the elite segmented by company size – Enterprise, Midsize, Small and Emerging companies.

CCTV Surveillance and Access Control Systems

CCTV And Access Control: Crime Fighting and Prevention Tools

A CCTV video surveillance camera system provides a significant function in our society because these systems fight and prevent crimes.  CCTV surveillance systems installed in public areas help deter crime, help civilians feel much safer, provide the police with leads or evidence as well as improve the surroundings of a crime-stricken neighborhood. Nowadays, most of these systems have been made digital for improved performance, easy maneuverability of the surveillance camera and produce faster feedback as compared to the analog systems.

Some Businesses Can’t Afford These Devices

There are some cases wherein businesses or other establishments cannot initially afford all the necessary components of these devices. However, many CCTV providers recommend that this dilemma can be solved by putting some CCTV equipments in places where constant observance and security matters most. Such places include the entrance, the exit and the cashier counter. In the succeeding years, extra surveillance cameras may be added as the budget allows.

What Modern CCTV Systems Are Composed Of

A modernized digital CCTV surveillance system is composed of hardware and software components which gather and transmit important surveillance camera data over fiber optic lines to control rooms run by security professionals who view digital CCTV monitors. DVRs can save CCTV data for long periods of time and a system can also use motion detection technology. This technology is exceptional because footage is are only recorded when motion triggers the DVR system. Digital CCTV cameras range from compact cameras, fixed cameras to direction-controlled ones that can distinguish objects in the dark under different lighting conditions. Surveillance camera system makers have to know what kind of purpose each surveillance camera must accomplish.

Fixed cameras are usually used for the main purpose of watching the flow of people passing by while dome cameras with PTZ functions are used for monitoring a crime-targeted place. The ones who make these systems also need to think about weatherproofing their surveillance cameras especially if the cameras are going to be mounted in extremely harsh climates whether hot or cold, or if the viewing areas are normally obscured by dust or dirt.

Installing CCTV And Access Control Systems Is An Important Investment

The presence of CCTV video surveillance camera system in this day and age has helped in significantly reducing crimes as well as solving them. In many circumstances wherein a CCTV surveillance system is in place, wrongdoers commonly shy away from these monitored places because they fear prosecution and any recorded images involving their presence can be used in court.

Security is a top concern these days. Comtex can help keep your business and employees in a safer environment with an access control system from DSX Access Systems. Operated by keypads, cards or biometrics (fingerprints), an access control system gives you full control over who is allowed access through any controlled point, including revolving doors, turnstiles, gates and barriers, at any time of any day.

Any Business Can Consider Access Control Solutions

Any facility with multiple employees or tenants should consider access control. Keys offer little security, as they can easily be lost, stolen or duplicated. You also have no audit trail of people who enter your facility or when and if they exit. Realizing this, more and more business and multi-tenant buildings of all sizes are utilizing access control systems.

With access control, if a card or code is lost, stolen, or compromised or an employee is terminated, they can easily be deleted from the system. When needed, the system can give you reports of who went where and when.

It’s Necessary To Be Cautious

In today’s need for increased security, an access control system will give you control over your premises, along with peace of mind for your employees and tenants. For added security, integrate the award winning EasyLobby software with your DSX access control system. The EasyLobby visitor management system provides comprehensive, enterprise-class visitor registration, tracking, reporting and badge printing, as well as web-based pre-registration by employees.
