VoIP users should be aware that their security systems may be affected by using such systems, a security provider is warning clients.
Michael Jagger, president of Provident Security Corp., said in light of a 911 incident last week in which a toddler died, VoIP users should also be aware of security issues.
A Provident Security guard was responding to a house alarm when he found a harried homeowner had inadvertently set off the alarm while she was taking an emergency call from her son.
The son was at school and couldn’t get his locker open. Music class was about to start; his instrument was in the locker.
Within minutes, the security guard was at the school, taking off the lock with bolt cutters and the student got to class on time.
He’ll drive you to the airport, water your plants, install a security and fire system, and if an alarm goes off, a guard will be at your house within five minutes, guaranteed.
Did it snow for the first time in two years while you were on vacation? No problem, he’ll shovel the walk so it looks like you’re home
These are the services (some, like snow removal and gardening, are a la carte) that differentiate Provident Security from its competition, said owner Mike Jagger. “The fewer people who know the house is empty, the better,” he said. “We have keys to 80 percent of our clients’ homes.”
Neighbourhood set for faceoff over Olympic practice rink
Stay tuned for the big-box battle of Olympic proportions.
When plans were scrapped to renovate the Agrodome, the new rink at Killarney became the Games’ figure skating practice venue. Short-track speedskating was then shifted to Trout Lake. Hockey needs a new practice home.
