Amazon wants to install smart security in your home

AP Photo/Mark Lennihan This Sept. 28, 2011 file photo shows the Amazon logo at a news conference in New York. Amazon has begun offering a slate of smart-security home systems that include several Amazon smart products and will be installed by Amazon employees. With Amazon offering to unlock your front door and also unlock you car in order to get your deliveries to you as quickly as possible, one would hope that the e-commerce/all-everything behemoth is taking security seriously. It might be. Because now you can go to Amazon and choose from an array of home security systems sold by the company and which are installed by Amazon employees. Amazon is now offering five different security packages at prices ranging from $240 on the low end for an outdoor smart lighting system meant to make it appear that someone is home even when they aren’t, to an $840 whole-home setup that includes features such as a video doorbell, entryway sensors and intermittent dog-barking sounds coming from an Alexa-enabled device. Each of the security packages comes with an Amazon Echo Dot voice assistant, as well as two visits from an Amazon official to asses a customer’s security needs and then to install the system. By offering its own security systems, Amazon is showing what it had in mind when, in December, it acquired Blink, a smart camera and doorbell startup, and then spent $1 billion on smart-home technology company Ring, in February of this year.

The Edward Snowden Interview Closed-circuit television In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced as a new form of surveillance, often used in law enforcement, with cameras located on a police officer's chest or head. Video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public. Special cameras for some of these purposes include line-scan cameras and thermographic cameras which allow operators to measure the temperature of the processes. With the addition of fixed cameras for the active traffic management system, the number of cameras on the Highways Agency's CCTV network is likely to increase significantly over the next few years. The cameras send the feed to a central control center where a producer selects feeds to send to the television monitors that fans can view.  New York C...

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...
