"PUNK TRIES TO BREAK INTO MY TRUCK" captured with REEDHD™ ColorVu

Conventional security cameras have crystal clear images during the day, but the quality at night is often poor.

The video below captures a "Punk" attempting to break into a truck parked outside the Reed Security headquarters @ 10:31 PM. at night.

This 4MP bullet camera has EXIR NightVision and can see up to 150 feet away from the camera in black and white.

The strip mall has poor lighting and is almost dark. A few of the sign cans are illuminated.

What color is the Punk's hoodie? What color is his hat? How would you describe the suspect to the POLICE?



EXIR NIGHTVISON: THE INFRARED ILLUMINATOR ALLOWS THE CAMERA TO SEE IN THE DARK, BUT THE IMAGE QUALITY IS POOR. THE IMAGE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR HD QUALITY DURING THE DAY.

Right beside the 4MP bullet camera with EXIR Nightvision is another camera recording the same "Punk". 

The second camera uses REEDHD™ ColorVu and uses a high performance lens and a built in spotlight to see in full color at night up to 65 feet away.

What color is the Punk's hoodie? What color is his hat? How would you describe the suspect to the POLICE?



COLORVU NIGHTVISION: THE BUILT-IN SPOTLIGHT ALLOWS THE CAMERA TO SEE IN FULL COLOR AT NIGHT AND THE IMAGE QUALITY IS IMPROVED. THE IMAGE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR HD QUALITY DURING THE DAY.

Turns out this isn't a Punk after all. It's your friendly neighborhood Josh Reed helping us out with a demo. Thanks Josh.

NEW! REEDHD™ FEVER SCREENING TERMINAL


WHO NEEDS THIS?

Our solution is a non-contact initial screening tool for staff and visitors. Fever Screening Terminals are ideal for:

  • Small Businesses
  • Restaurants
  • Retailers
  • Medical Clinics
  • Dental Clinics

This solution is designed to screen one person at a time and can be deployed as a standalone elevated skin temperature solution or integrated with access control.

HOW IT WORKS

Fast, Reliable, Safe COVID-19 Symptom Detection

Fever Screening Thermal cameras are designed for the preliminary screening of elevated skin surface temperatures -  specifically the forehead region. Accuracy is within +/- 0.5 degrees Celsius.

Cameras are mounted at face level and display the temperature of visitors entering a building.

When an elevated body temperature (possible fever; COVID-19 symptom) is detected the camera can trigger a flashing strobe light, a sounder and sends an instant notification to our smartphone and desktop apps.

A secondary screen is performed by a supervisor or security personnel for a closer inspection. The staff member or visitor can be refused entry and should seek medical attention.


FEATURES

  • One second to detect skin-surface temperature of a person
  • Non-contact measurement to avoid physical contact
  • Immediately alarming to notify operators
  • AI detection to reduce false alarms from other heat sources
  • Recognition distance: 0.5 to 1.5 m (1' to 6.56')
  • 7" touchscreen, 1024 x 600
  • Thermal resolution 120 x 160, optical resolution 2MP
  • Fast temperature measurement mode: Detects face and takes temperature without identity authentication
  • Measurement Temperature Range: 30 to 45 degrees C
  • Operating Temperature Range: 10 to 35 degrees C

THANK YOU SP&T NEWS FOR THE WRITE UP ON OUR 20TH BIRTHDAY!


SP&T News, Canada's #1 magazine for security dealers and integrators recently interviewed Virgil Reed.

Before founding Reed Security, a Saskatoon-based business that offers custom-designed alarm systems and high-definition video surveillance, Virgil Reed got his first taste of the security industry working as commercial sales representative for ADT Security back in 1998.

Though he appreciated the vital lessons that he learned from the company, Reed decided to follow his dream of starting his own company.

Founded in 2000, Reed Security started out as an authorized dealer for another company for five years before making another change.

“After five years of being a dealer, we became an independent — and it was the greatest choice I ever made,” Reed said in an interview with SP&T News.

WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR 20TH BIRTHDAY!

Today Reed Security is officially celebrating our 20th Anniversary!

When we started on March 10th, 2000 the security industry was booming and the competition was fierce. The big companies had successful door to door programs and the telephone company (SaskTel) started in the security business. 20 years later the door to door programs are still persistent and even more telephone companies (Bell, Telus/ADT) offer home and business smart security. The competition has never been greater!


"I'm proud of the business we've (not I) built. 20 years ago nobody knew who we were and we had 0 (zero) customers. Today, 5000+ homes and businesses trust Reed Security for their protection. We are a strong LOCAL brand you can Trust. What makes us different? Easy, it's our People, Culture and sense of Community!


Thank you to our Clients
 for supporting us for 20 years. Without you we wouldn't exist.

Thank you to all our People - staff and dealers for Caring for each other and our Clients. You make it easy.

Looking forward to another 20!"
