Oldham County home security cameras catch men stealing gun safe

Family members say five guns were in safe stolen from garage CRESTWOOD, Ky. — An Oldham County homeowner is hoping home security video will help police make an arrest. The homeowner said two men broke into his garage and stole a safe full of guns. Jason, who asked to be identified by his first name only, said he got an alert on his phone from the security system. "You pull up the video instantly and we were able to see people that didn't belong here," he said. Jason said he and his family had left their Crestwood home Tuesday around 6:50 a.m. Within a few minutes, he said the security system sent the alert. "We saw them taking out a safe," Jason said. "A rather large safe. That was the only thing we saw them take." The homeowner said several of the guns inside were family heirlooms. "Some of which were gifts from my father that were traced back to my grandfather," he said. The homeowner said he was able to provide detectives serial numbers for three of the five stolen guns. Home security video shows a man in a red shirt pulling the safe out of the garage. A man in a black shirt is seen helping him. "We thought we had possibly left the door open," Jason said. "But when we got home, we could tell that they had pried their way in the side door and then kicked it the rest of the way in." The deadbolt is in pieces and the inside of the door is held shut by a piece of wood. The family is in the process of moving and feel they may have been targeted by the men. "It certainly feels that way," Jason said. "Given how fast they showed up after we left and knowing that we have been selling items in preparation for the move. Quite a few different families toured the home as it was for sale. It certainly feels that we were targeted." Police said the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made. Anyone with information can call the Oldham County Police Department at 502-222-1300.

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...

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices. Parks Associates also found that the majority of homeowners assume security integrators are addressing their cybersecurity concerns. In fact, a Parks Associates survey of U.S. security owners found 63% of professionally monitored subscribers believe the wireless signals from their system are encrypted, even though encryption is currently not the industry-wide standard. While the whitepaper outlines a few ...

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system. Ring Alarm doesn’t support smart lighting controls, door locks, thermostats, garage-door openers, or other common smart home products today, and there’s a very short list of supported third-party products. But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...
