When we noticed a Website that mimicked our e-commerce site come
up in the search engine's search results, using our popular
keywords, we started to suspect an inside job.
That site simply looked and felt too much like ours for comfort.
We felt someone was trying to copy our methods of marketing and
designing our site so they too could reap the fruit of our
hard-earned efforts.
We decided to monitor our employees and their computers. No
sooner than we started monitoring them, we discovered one of our
employees was spending the majority of his work hours running
his very own business through OUR computer.
That's right: we were paying him to compete with us and steal
our business!
In order to collect evidence, we installed a surveillance system
that featured a pair of hidden cameras and a simple DVR. What we
saw on these cameras shocked us: the employee was actually
stealing products from our inventory to sell on his Website!
Needless to say, we used the footage to collect evidence of the
embezzlement and the theft to turn the employee to the
authorities.
We realized from our experience that a good video surveillance
system is a necessary component of running our business
effectively and efficiently.
But we also learned that our security system must be reliable.
The system we had purchased hastily was not flexible or
convenient for our needs.
After some research, we realized that a PC-based surveillance
system was far more powerful, flexible and reliable. It allows
you to record literally thousands of hours of surveillance
footage while providing you with extensive control.
Our experience has led us to make such systems available to
other business owners and to launch our surveillance system
