6th April - 4Bi & Liverpool Chamber

4B Industries work with Liverpool Chamber's Business Crime Prevention Team

Liverpool Chamber’s business crime prevention team have helped a small Wavertree business to continue trading after a traumatic robbery.

In November 2009 Stephanie Agugua was robbed at knife point at her business Le Stye hairdressers on Wavertree Road, by two men wearing hoods entered and brandishing a knife. A large amount of banknotes was snatched from behind the counter.

Stephanie has a heart condition made worse by this experience and had to close down for a period. She lost a number of customers due to their fears over safety and felt that she could only recommence business if she kept the front door to the business locked at all times.

The crime reduction division of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, ‘Liverpool Crime Alert’ stepped in to help and Tony Jopson, the Chamber’s Business Crime Reduction Manager, gave Stephanie crime prevention advice and when she could not raise the finance for security improvements, Liverpool Crime Alert stepped in to resolve the situation with 4B Industries, by installing a new wireless WisDom security system at the hairdressers which now enables Stephanie, at the touch of a button, to be in direct communication with her own security company, whether it’s reassurance, advice or immediate assistance. The WisDom system with extended listen-in feature means the operator of the monitoring company, Cougar, can be in contact with the premises for as long as necessary.  The system is set for audio upon activation and the operator will be able to speak, or listen to Stephanie, and everyone in the premises, immediately.

Established in 1850, Liverpool Chamber of Commerce is one of the North West’s oldest and most prominent business institutions. With over 1,800 members and accreditation from the British Chambers of Commerce, Liverpool Chamber of Commerce provides a fast paced business network and lobby group for Merseyside companies.

Liverpool Chamber of Commerce are working in partnership with Action Against Business Crime, a non profit organisation, together with the major insurance companies, sponsoring a unique LONE WORKER SUPPORT system.

January 20th - SynopSYS & Milestone XProtect

Integration between RISCO Group's SynopSYS™ and Milestone XProtect™ open platform IP video management software provides unique security command, control and overview capabilities.

RISCO Group and Milestone have developed an integrated solution where the Milestone XProtect IP video open platform acts as a recording engine for the SynopSYS™ Integrated Security and Building Management System. SynopSYS™ provides site management and control from one simple interface, using site specific intuitive synoptic maps to allow command and control of intruder, video monitoring, fire detection, access control and other building automation systems.

As a Milestone Solution Partner, the collaboration completes RISCO Group’s solution by integrating video surveillance input from IP cameras into SynopSYS™. In SynopSYS™, live video events serve as triggers for real-time alerts and automated actions on any integrated security system or device. Likewise, any event in SynopSYS™, such as an access alarm, can trigger recording video from the required IP camera through an entirely software-based interface.

Utilizing the Milestone open platform, SynopSYS™ can integrate with unlimited numbers and models of IP cameras, and provide an ideal management system for any type or size of project. With its proven experience in installations for the commercial, industrial, and military sectors, SynopSYS™ now offers full flexibility for integrators in selecting a complete platform for security and building management that is video enabled.
