1. Property Crime in the USA Infographic

    This is part one in a series of research reports on property crime in America. The purpose of these reports are not to incite fear or "fear monger" in an attempt to convince people to purchase our products. In fact, many of our points will suggest the opposite. Video Surveillance certainly has a place in preventing or deterring crime, but...
  2. Accounting for the hidden costs in government security camera systems

    Homeland Security Watch has an excelent post up written by Lynda A. Peters, who is the City Prosecutor in the Chicago Corporation Counsel’s Office.

  4. "Should I use a bullet or a dome camera?" Flowchart

    We get asked a lot here at Security Camera Warehouse, "Should I use a bullet or a dome camera?" So, we decided to make a flowchart to make it easier for you to make the decision. You'll want to start at the bottom. For a thorough explanation and links to explanations of some of the terms used in the flowchart...
  5. How to do all those things in Ubuntu Unity that everyone says you can't do in Ubuntu Unity

    How to do all those things in Ubuntu Unity that everyone says you can't do in Ubuntu Unity These points came from a bunch of my (Matthew's) reddit comments, but since they will eventually become unavailable and they were a bit spread out and they didn't have pictures, here's a permanent place for those points. Before we get too far...
  6. Taxes and Elastic B2B goods

    The opinions listed below are from Matthew, one of the owners of SCW. We might have a rebuttal from one of our other owners.   "Do you think "job creators" are more likely or less likely to create a job if he/she is taxed less and thus has more money?" I was asked the other day. This seems to be a...
  7. Data Security in the Age of Batman

    The security industry spends a great deal of time talking about technical issues from SAS, encryption, user access, and server capabilities to entry access points, live monitoring, and video feeds. We might want to also spend some time reading comic books. In comics, there are super heroes and super villains. As security companies we have been trained to think of...
  8. Why Ubuntu needs to start looking at "the wrong questions":

    Here at SCW, we donate to open source software, created a political demonstration website against Canadian Usage Based Billing, and constantly try to balance the needs of security with our beliefs in freedom and the openness of information. So, we are going to take a break from talking about security, to talk about ubuntu, linux, wine and FOSS (Free and...

  10. From the guys behind CanadianDownload.com: Don't stop now, a promise isn't enough!

    Don't stop the pressure. Although the Canadian government has promised to reverse the decision, they haven't done anything yet. Keep hitting http://www.antiubb.com/what-can-i-do/ hard! The goal isn't to “do something” (quoting the interior minister). It's to stop regional monopolies from destroying entire segments of the world economy. For all we know, "doing something" might just mean adding a few more GBs...
