Anti Theft Device - Asset Tracking System

Use an anti theft device to provide seamless theft protection from employee theft or theft by others. In addition to theft protection for valuable equipment and assets, the Asset Sentry™ also provides real time asset tracking. The Asset Sentry™ anti theft device system by CISCOR provides anti theft devices that are designed to prevent employee theft or unauthorized removal of assets. Typical anti theft device and asset tracking applications include overhead projectors, lab equipment, computer theft, furniture, fire extinguishers, medical equipment, and any other item of value or strategic importance.

		Rock solid theft protection deters and prevents employee theft or theft by others.

		Stop computer theft once and for all.
		Anti theft device system works indoors and outdoors.
		Use wireless asset tracking to locate assets.
		Locate personnel.
		Totally wireless infrastructure greatly reduces system cost.
		Anti theft device transmitters are fully supervised for operational readiness.
		Innovative patent pending technology.

Totally Wireless

The asset tracking, anti employee theft detection infrastructure, installed throughout the facility, uses totally wireless transceivers. Each requires nothing more than a 110vac power source and includes a built in back up battery power supply. The elimination of costly interconnect wiring allows the Asset Sentry™ to satisfy the most demanding budgets.

The Anti Theft Device

Stop computer theft and overhead projector theft or other stationary assets with a Fixed Asset Transmitter (F.A.T.) anti theft device. If any part of the anti theft device is dislodged, removed or disconnected, an alarm signal is sent immediately to the central computer. Multiple assets such as a row of computers in a computer lab can be easily protected with a single F.A.T. anti theft device.

Asset Tracking

We may use asset tracking at any time to determine the location of a portable or mobile asset by querying the computer. The computer will then indicate the last location detected by the system and the time and date of the detection.

Personnel Tracking

Employees and staff persons carrying wireless belt clip pendants can also be tracked in a facility. As with asset tracking, a query is made at the computer to see the last known location of the person. These same personnel tracking pendants can also be used to call for help in an emergency. The computer shows who activated the call and their location. This is especially comforting to employees and managers who must walk to their car at night in a parking garage or parking lot.

Automated Dispatch

The Asset Sentry™ has several useful methods for dispatching anti theft alarms and emergency call alarms and all of them are automated. This virtually eliminates human error and assures a rapid response. Outputs include portable hand held radios, on site paging systems, off site subscription pagers, fax and email.

For most installations, broadcasting to hand held radios will be the most efficient means of dispatching alarms. In the event of an alarm, the central computer will broadcast a user defined radio voice message to the existing facility hand held radios (walkie talkies). For example, those equipped with radios might hear the message, "Overhead projector theft alarm. Adams Hall, third floor, room 312." Alarm messages are created or changed by simply typing the message into the computer setup program. The message will continue to re-broadcast every 15 seconds until the alarm is acknowledged either at the computer or from a hand held radio. Acknowledgement is by individual user ID number which provides a vital level of accountability. Radio messages can be partitioned as needed to specified groups of hand held radios. In the event of an alarm, security personnel may have ongoing tactical discussions via the radio network to more efficiently facilitate a successful outcome. Also, a radio message is heard by staff without having to stop. An incoming page requires that the staff person stop, pull the pager off of the belt, manipulate buttons and then read the message. This time consuming ritual is fully eliminated with radios.

The Asset Sentry™ does support pagers which can be used as auxiliary annunciation for managers and supervisors. Proprietary on site alpha numeric pagers will display the alarm message. Off site area wide subscription pagers can be set up to do the same.

Faxes and emails may also be activated. As with pagers, these are used as management tools. Typical alarms might include supervisory failure of a transmitter or taking too long to acknowledge an alarm. Any alarm or event may be set up to be delivered as a fax or email.

Other building systems can be easily integrated for the purpose of automating the dispatch of their alarms or events. An addressable building fire alarm system can announce specific detectors and their locations over hand held radios. This saves precious time as staff would normally be required to first go to the fire alarm panel to determine the location of the fire. Automated dispatch sends staff to the trouble spot immediately. HVAC and access control system alarms are two more examples of systems that can benefit from automated dispatch.

Door and Room Alarms

Detection transmitters are also available to create an alarm if a door is opened or if there is movement in a room. Secure sensitive areas such as the computer server room or a tool room. These transmitters can be turned on or off automatically by a flexible software scheduler, by a key switch or keypad or by an access control card reader. For example, if the scheduler is used we might arm the main door from 6PM to 7AM and all day Saturday and Sunday.

Works Outdoors

The Asset Sentry™ can easily accommodate large outdoor yards and facilities. Monitor forklifts, trucks, cars, golf carts, power lifts, graders, earth movers, and anything in between. Because the Asset Sentry™ is totally wireless, installation in large outdoor complexes is easy and cost effective.

Rock Solid Reliability

All aspects of the system, including all wireless transmitters, repeaters and locators, are fully supervised ensuring that everything is working. The system will be there when you need it. All wireless devices continuously transmit a heartbeat signal to the central computer. If a transmitter or other device stops working, a supervisory failure alarm is created. Also, low battery conditions are monitored as well and will be indicated before the transmitter stops working. Batteries are user replaceable and commonly available. The Asset Sentry™ employs true frequency hopping spread spectrum technology. This technology was first developed by the military to eliminate jamming and interference. Signals will torpedo through the noisiest environments providing rock solid reliability.

Reports

An easy to use report generator allows custom reports to be defined by the user. The report formats are then saved for repeated use. Up to four sorting criteria and three sorting orders may be implemented in building reports.

The Asset Sentry™ anti theft device and asset tracking system is very effective at stopping employee theft or theft by others of valuable assets. CISCOR means affordable and dependable theft protection.
