Video is Burglar’s Kryptonite
“Makers of movies and TV shows have it all wrong”, says Walter T. Shaw, retired from the most infamous burglary ring in America. Rarely do thieves wear president-look alike masks, pantyhose or any face coverings at all to pull a job. Many times, they don’t even wear gloves.
“Thieves are arrogant; they don’t think they’ll be caught. And they’re not the least bit worried that a neighbor will be able to get a good enough look to give a description to the cops,” Shaw says.
However, Shaw shares their Achilles’ heel: “They don’t have the time — or in many cases the talent — to disable surveillance systems. And they don’t want video surveillance of them rummaging through your home winding up in the cops’ hands or worse, on the evening news for their own neighbor to finger them.”
Video monitoring is a crook’s kryptonite, so make sure you protect your home and business using video. Shaw says burglars don’t know where the video is being recorded, since many video solutions today offer secure, cloud-based recording (with no recorder in the home or business to destroy) they’re likely to pass right on by. The footage could be captured offsite, so the moment they enter the home, it’s too late. They’ve been caught on candid camera,” Shaw says.

“Alarm Engineering is fantastic to work with. Jodi, their System Specialist, is the best. We worked with her about two years ago for our alarm system and now for camera installation. Her response time to email is outstanding (even after hours) and she always follows up. When we originally found out that our installation day wouldn’t be for almost a month, Jodi was quick to help us try to secure an earlier date (which she was able to do). We cannot thank Jodi enough for helping us through 2 different installation processes. Cameron, our Installation Technician, was an absolute pleasure to work with! He called before he was arriving and was on time with the promised appointment time. He provided outstanding service and was very professional. He gave positive suggestions to make sure our installation went smoothly. Jodi and Cameron, THANK YOU! We recommend Alarm Engineering 100%!”
