Product Description
This econometric study covers the outlook for electronic access control systems in The Americas & the Caribbean. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-a-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the countries in The Americas & the Caribbean). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E. for electronic access control systems in The Americas & the Caribbean. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the national markets of The Americas & the Caribbean. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Electronic Access Control Systems in The Americas & the Caribbean

In recent years, we all have noticed the security cameras at buildings like an airport or bank.  Our society has become much more security conscious thanks to our War on Terror.  The surveillance system in London has been the subject of numerous news stories on TV and the newspaper.  Many cities in the U.S. are installing their own systems.

At one time, a computer was only needed by NASA or science fiction movies.  Now a computer is nearly as common as a television.  Likewise, Video security systems are becoming much more commonplace outside of the high-profile environments.

Video security systems have, like computers, become dramatically more efficient.  One of the most important innovations is video motion detection.  With this technology, each image received by the camera is processed by software and compared to the previous image. If the system detects changes that exceed the threshold (a parameter set by the user), the system implements the predefined action.  The action could be simply that the video is saved, and/or a cell-phone text message or email is sent, or a relay is activated to turn on lights or an alarm.

Modern video motion detection systems are much more sophisticated than the motion sensors we know from burglar alarms.  An important difference is that a video motion detector can be configured with variable sensitivity over the test area.

Areas of the image can be set as insensitive by excluding certain portions of the screen.  For example, motion of specific objects that must be protected in an environment where other movement should be ignored can be performed (a painting surrounded by visitors in a museum).  Another example is the monitoring of a parking lot surrounded by trees; the area of the image that encompasses the trees could be set off-limits, so that only vehicles and pedestrians activate the motion detection.  It should be noted that outdoor monitoring is inherently more prone to false alarms than indoor monitoring.  For example lightning in a thunderstorm will almost always cause the detection of motion.

During setup, the image is separated into grids (grid patterns of 100-500 zones are common).  Programming is simple.  A static image is displayed with a grid overlay.  A mouse is used to select areas, and only the highlighted boxes are active.  Each grid can be set with the appropriate sensitivity.

Time limits can be set so that the motion detection is not active until defined periods, and these periods can be different for each day of the week.  This feature could be used for the monitor of a warehouse that is busy during the day, but is idle at night.

Because of advances in technology, systems that once seemed appropriate only for Mission Impossible movies, can be had by a small business or homeowner.  Someday, these systems will be as commonplace as the old-fashioned burglar alarm is today.

The perception is that the United States has a much worse crime problem than other countries.  This is not true.  The overall crime rate in the United States is lower than in Britain and about the same as in Canada.  That does not mean that we don’t have a problem.  Statistics show that a home burglary occurs in the U.S. every 15 seconds.  A car is stolen every 25 seconds.  Overall, a property crime occurs in the U.S. every 3 seconds (more than 10 million each year).  Each person must decide for themselves how best to react to the threat.

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Electronic Security Systems in The Middle East

George W. Bush’s brother was on the board of directors of a company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for years to the Bush family.

The security company, formerly named Securacom and now named Stratesec, is in Sterling, Va.. Its CEO, Barry McDaniel, said the company had a “completion contract” to handle some of the security at the World Trade Center “up to the day the buildings fell down.”

It also had a three-year contract to maintain electronic security systems at Dulles Airport, according to a Dulles contracting official. Securacom/Stratesec also handled some security for United Airlines in the 1990s, according to McDaniel, but it had been completed before his arriving on the board in 1998.

McDaniel confirmed that the company has security contracts with the Department of Defense, including the U.S. Army, but did not detail the nature of the work, citing security concerns. It has an ongoing line with the General Services Administration – meaning that its bids for contracts are noncompetitive – and also did security work for the Los Alamos laboratory before 1998.

Marvin P. Bush, the president’s youngest brother, was a director at Stratesec from 1993 to fiscal year 2000. But the White House has not publicly disclosed Bush connections in any of its responses to 9/11, nor has it mentioned that another Bush-linked business had done security work for the facilities attacked.

Marvin Bush joined Securacom when it was capitalized by the Kuwait-American Corporation, a private investment firm in D.C. that was the security company’s major investor, sometimes holding a controlling interest. Marvin Bush has not responded to telephone calls and e-mails for comment.

KuwAm has been linked to the Bush family financially since the Gulf War. One of its principals and a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Mishal Yousef Saud al Sabah, served on the board of Stratesec.

The managing director at KuwAm, Wirt D. Walker III, was also a principal at Stratesec, and Walker, Marvin Bush and al Sabah are listed in SEC filings as significant shareholders in both companies during that period.

Marvin Bush’s last year on the board at Stratesec coincided with his first year on the board of HCC Insurance, formerly Houston Casualty Co., one of the insurance carriers for the WTC. He left the HCC board in November 2002.

But none of these connections has been looked at during the extensive investigations since 9/11. McDaniel says principals and other personnel at Stratesec have not been questioned or debriefed by the FBI or other investigators. Walker declined to answer the same question regarding KuwAm, referring to the public record.

Walker is also chairman and CEO of Aviation General, a Tulsa, Okla.-based aviation company with two subsidiaries. SEC filings also show al Sabah as a principal and shareholder in Aviation General, which was recently delisted by the Nasdaq. Stratesec was delisted by the American Stock Exchange in October 2002.

The suite in which Marvin Bush was annually re-elected, according to public records, is located in the Watergate in space leased to the Saudi government. The company now holds shareholder meetings in space leased by the Kuwaiti government there. The White House has not responded to various requests for comment.

Speaking of the Watergate, Riggs National Bank, where Saudi Princess Al-Faisal had her “Saudi money trail” bank account, has as one of its executives Jonathan Bush, an uncle of the president. The public has not learned whether Riggs – which services 95 percent of Washington’s foreign embassies – will be turning over records relating to Saudi finance.

Meanwhile, Bush has nominated William H. Donaldson to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. Donaldson, a longtime Bush family friend, was a Yale classmate of Jonathan Bush.

On the very day of the tragic space shuttle crash, the government appointed an independent investigative panel, and rightly so. Why didn’t it do the same on Sept. 12, 2001?

This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for electronic security systems across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 5,000 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for electronic security systems. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the cities in India). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for electronic security systems in India. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of India. For each state or union territory, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

Such as, economic security and security against terrorists?

The Real ID Act, Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, Electronic Employment Verification System, etc. all seem to compliment each other, which by 2010 they all will be in full effect.

2010 special or something?
“If I’m not mistaken, that is when some of the tax cuts end. It will also take time to initiate the software and printed matter plus teach people how to use it.”

Your right, the 2001 estate tax law goes in a 1-10 year loop changing slightly each year. The 10th year, which is 2010, is when the law gets crazy.

I didn’t even know about the estate tax law that passed in 2001.

Anyways, doesn’t make sense to all of a sudden enable so many new laws all at the same time. Its vastly too much information and change for people to take in all at once. Sounds to me like its an all or nothing deal that the rich cooked.

No matter what area you live, crime is just a fact of life. Home break-ins mean not only loss of property but can result in the loss of your life. Even with all the precautions we have taken there is the chance you will fall victim to a crime. According to FBI crime statistics more than 6 million break-ins occur in residential areas every year, about  one every ten seconds. Peace of mind may not have a price tag but it is surely one of the things we strive for the most when it comes to the safety of our homes. The HomeSafe Auto Dialler can provide the peace of mind you need.

This unique system features a motion detector which will keep a constant watch on the area in which it is installed. The monitoring area includes 110 degrees to the right and left and 6 to 8 meters out from the sensor. The 105 decibel alarm will sound the minute someone crosses the area. This also triggers the unit to start dialling up to five pre-programmed phone numbers. The system also has a built-in memory that will keep the data you have programmed into it in the event of a power outage. The Auto Dialler comes complete with the outdoor siren, telephone line, an AC adapter and an adjustable head.

Installing this powerful yet inexpensive alarm system is not a difficult process. The keypad and sensor can be mounted in the most convenient spot for you to access using just a screw driver and a couple of wall anchors. No hole to drill or wires to run.  Once the 9 volt battery is installed, the telephone line connected and the AC adapter is plugged in, all you are left with is adjusting the area which it will be watching.

The unit contains a program key, a pause key and a panic key. There is also an indicator which will let you know when the battery is low. The alarm as well as a chime switch that will allow you know when someone comes in the door makes this system quite versatile. This feature is very handy for using in your own business so that you will know when you have a prospective customer. The Auto Dialler is much more compact than the older wired systems that are sometimes difficult to program. 

The statistics are staggering for the number of homes that are projected to be burglarized in the U.S. just this year alone. One in every ten. The scary part is you do not know when it will occur. You may be sleeping, you may be away from home or you may come face to fact with the intruder.

In the United States, a fire department responds to a call every 19 seconds. Residential fires occur every 79 seconds. A fire doubles in size every 18 seconds. 82% of fire deaths occur in the home. There are 3900 deaths every year due to fire.  A burglary occurs every 15 seconds. Burglary costs homeowners an average of $1700 a year.

These statistics are good reasons for homeowners to utilize home security alarm systems. Two of the top providers in the U.S. are ADT and Brinks.

ADT, in business for over 130 years, is the number one home security alarm system provider in the United States. Responsible for U.S. Federal courthouses, many busy airports and service to over 6 million customers, ADT continues to establish a solid record.

Standard ADT Home Security Alarm systems include basic burglary protection. The basic program is almost identical to other basic programs. Control center, keypad for command entry, hardwired sensors for doors and windows, interior sounding alarm, hardwired sensors to detect motion, standard transformer, standard battery backup, warning decals for windows and warning signs for yards.

Superior systems feature several add-ons. ADT rewards loyal customers. Those who stay with the company for more than two years then change residences can qualify for the premium mover package. This package gives the customer a free ADT system for their new home and a discount coupon toward service upgrades.

Brink’s Home Security provides alarm systems for homeowners. Brink’s is the only full service national security provider certified by the National Burglary and Fire Alarm Association with Installation Quality Certification.

Purchasing a home security alarm system from Brink’s means dealing with well-trained, certified personnel. Rapid Response is the company motto.  Like ADT, Brink’s both installs and monitors home security alarm systems.

The company website is user friendly. So is the Brink’s home security alarm keypad. One of the biggest concerns for home security alarm users, after price, is ability to use the control pad. If the system is too complicated, customers tend to leave the system off.

Entering commands into the Brink’s keypad is a matter of touching only one key. No sequence of keys to write down because they’re hard to remember. No sequence of commands to worry about.

The Brink’s standard system provides the same features as that of most competitors. A standard, one-touch keypad, 2 door or window sensors, one motion detector, one interior siren, one control panel, a yard sign and window stickers.
Optional add-ons include strobe light, outdoor siren, moisture sensor, heat sensor, glassbreak sensor, temperature sensor, and more.

Homeowners looking to install a home security alarm system from ADT or Brink’s will be dealing with well-known companies who have worked hard to build good reputations. Not all cities offer both companies at this time but both are expanding more and more.

Both companies possess qualities consumers should look for. Well trained, customer service oriented personnel, quality products, and competitive pricing. ADT and Brink’s have both been providing home security alarm systems to homeowners for years. Customers can trust that the companies will probably be around for a long time to come.
