  • From Mobile Data Terminals to Smartphones: New Hotbed for Crime?

    Mobile Data Terminal Old Mobile Data Terminal New

    When I started in law enforcement at the Portland Police Bureau in 1978, the bureau was proud of two great advancements, a single computer station in each precinct that printed results on paper (no video screen, just a printer!). What’s even more amazing, Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) – computerized devices used to communicate with central dispatch offices – became available in a few police cars.

  • NEW Infographic | What Do ATM Skimming Devices Look Like?

    An Mai's picture
    By An Mai   |   Tuesday Feb 26, 2013

    According to Secret Service agent Scott Sarafian, "technology is increasing, and it’s becoming somewhat easier to steal money electronically versus by a gun."

    From mobile phones to personal computers to medical treatments, new and continually improving technologies are embedded into our lives. Unfortunately, sophisticated technology can also breed crime. ATM skimming, in particular, is becoming more prevalent with sophisticated devices, ranging from hidden cameras to disguised card readers, emerging every day. Jenny Durkan, U.S Attorney for the Western District of Washington and a strong advocate for cyberfraud prevention, says cybercrime is "costing our country billions of dollars."

    Check out 3VR’s latest infographic, "What do ATM Skimming Devices look like?" to learn about the different methods used by ATM skimmers today. By becoming familiar with skimming devices, frontline bank employees can fight skimming, foil the ATM thieves’ attempts, and most importantly, protect their customers.

  • Working Smarter With a Smart Video Intelligence System

    bridge toll booth

    The tollbooth for the bridge was quickly approaching and I found myself frantically searching in my glove box for the electronic transponder that would allow me to pass without having to stop and pay. Where was it? Not in the top glove box. Not in the lower glove box either. I didn’t have time to stop and clean out my car, nor did I want to pull over to search for it. It would take too much time – time I needed to do other, more important things. If only I had a tool that would make it jump out at me, like a giant magnet to find the "needle in the haystack."

  • 10 Ways to Climb a Sales Mountain | Lesson #2:Establish your base camp

    By Paul Boucherle   |   Thursday Feb 7, 2013

    Our series with Paul Boucherle, principal at Matterhorn Consulting LLC., aka the Swiss Sherpa, continues here with part 2! Paul will be providing lessons to help system integrators climb their sales mountains. If you missed Lesson #1: Study the mountain, you can read it here.

    10 ways to climb sales mountain base camp

    Lesson #2: Establish your base camp

    Any mountain climber knows the importance of establishing a good base camp to support an expedition up an imposing mountain…in your case a sales mountain. We are not talking about a simple one day rock climb with a 1,000’ of vertical ascent. We are talking about those 21,000’ peaks that require some real planning and effort! Why is this so important?

  • QuickClip: Advanced Object Tracking Analytic

    Brian Lane's picture
    By Brian Lane   |   Wednesday Feb 6, 2013

    Most DVRs, NVRs, and VMS use basic motion detection to send alerts or to create an event that makes it easier to search for a suspect in low-traffic areas. 3VR’s Advanced Object Tracking analytic takes motion detection to the next level. In this video, as part of 3VR’s QuickClip series, we show you how you can use the analytic with forensic search to find the color and direction of a suspect car. The analytic can also be used to search by size, shape, and speed and can also be set up as an alert. This makes it easier to find a suspect or, in the case of the video above, a suspect car. Basic motion detection on a busy street is impractical, so a search must be done manually, meaning, the alternative is to search through hours and hours of video. In the QuickClip video above, a busy street is no problem for 3VR's Advanced Object Tracking analytic when trying to find a suspect car in a matter of minutes.

    3VR coffee NRF

    What a show! 2013 was the first year 3VR attended Retail’s BIG show and we were floored by the caliber of speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and attendees. Over 27,000 people attended the show and the energy was palpable. Below are a few highlights:

    1. Technology Abounds

    Retail technologists from all over the globe were showing off their goods, and attendees were more than interested in a look at new, innovative products. From CRM tools to warehousing equipment, the products ran the gamut, and 3VR was glad to take our part in pushing the mold with our video solution. As one of only a handful of companies showcasing video intelligence, 3VR’s booth was packed with people interested in hearing our story. The difference between our technology and that of our competition was clear--but we’ll save that for another blog!
