What Alarm and Video Surveillance Isn't  Big brother isn't
watching after all, so maybe you should.  Can technology, by

computer program increase safety while reducing costs? Without
human support involved in the solution it is impossible to make
anyone safer. All technology exists to enhance human
interaction, human experience, or perhaps to increase longevity.
None of those mandates work without the human being serving to
