  4. We create a Security Device Map and show our clients how we can protect them - see above.

  6. We invite you to come down to our showroom for a live demo.
  7. Our Selling Machines (sales reps.) are trained to be Consultants - not Product Pushers.     
What You Do:
  1. Don't hold back on the details. We need to know the exact problems with Theft or Low Productivity you are having. All information is strictly confidential.
  2. Be open to our ideas. We have installed security at thousands of Saskatoon homes and businesses. We can tell you what has worked and what has not.
  3. Ask a lot of questions. It should feel like a 2-Way conversation. With your input we can customize a security solution you will be happy with.
  4. Be Honest With Us. If the Price is too high we can create a Payment Plan or reduce the project size.
  5. Come down to our office for a Demo. We want you to Try Before You Buy.
  6. Sign Up. Hopefully we've earned your business by going the extra mile.
  7. Get Trained. There's nothing worse that not knowing how to use your security investment to Reduce Losses.

HD VIDEO MYTHS AND FACTS

 

 HD Video Myths & Facts

We have spent thousands of hours perfecting ReedHD Hi-Def Camera designs and installations. We know the right cameras for the right locations and we've even met with the Saskatoon Police to determine how to solve more crimes.

We've installed over 
5000 cameras in Saskatchewan and wanted to share with you some common Myths.


Myth #1:  HD Video Cameras Always Capture Faces and License Plates

  • False
  • Many factors have an effect on the image quality - camera type, camera placement, distance to the target, target speed, the weather, light conditions, and video management software.
  • Click Here to See How ReedHD Cameras can Record Faces and License Plates


Myth #2:  HD Video Camera Images Can Be Manipulated Like on TV Shows and Movies

  • False
  • Hollywood glamorizes what you can do with recorded HD images and most of what you see on TV cannot be done.
  • ReedHD I.P. Video Management Software has an exclusive Display Adjustment feature (see images above).
  • We can adjust the brightness and contrast of recorded video to provide the Saskatoon Police an image they can use.
  • We can also Zoom In on recorded video to see Faces and License Plates (see Myth #1).   


Myth #3:  Wireless HD Video Cameras Can Be Installed Anywhere

  • False
  • Wireless HD cameras can transmit wireless signals, but still require a power source.
  • Most HD cameras are not wireless.
  • HD cameras must be plugged into a power outlet or wired into a network.
  • We can create a wireless bridge and transmit signals many KM's when there is direct line of site.
  • Trees, windows, buildings, walls, and RF interference have a direct effect on signal quality.
