Crime Catcher - Crime Catcher gives users the ability to use their webcam to monitor an area for movement. If motion is detected several actions can execute depending on a user's preferences. Generally, images are recorded and the user notified (via email) of any activities that have taken place. Other options include sounds playing, or an external program being launched. Users can browse through previous monitoring sessions where images can be combined into movies, or reports produced on events that have been captured. While being fully configurable the webcam can be set for surveillance with just one click.

Intrusion Detection
**************************
SmartLine Inc has released DeviceLock version 5.51 - a unique security solution on the market that lets System Administrators restrict access to Wi-Fi (802.11) Bluetooth, USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices on Windows 2000/XP and Windows Server 2003.

Emerging Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB and FireWire technologies allow massive amounts of data to be transferred at lightning speeds. Devices continue to decrease in size, and the storage capacity keeps multiplying. All this makes for fast, efficient, and convenient information exchange, but there is a downside - security.

Employees can use these tiny storage devices to download hundred megabytes of proprietary information and upload potentially harmful software or viruses. Standard access control solutions coming with Windows operating systems do not allow the assignment of permissions for USB and FireWire ports as well as for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapters. You do not have to be an administrator to use one of these devices, and you can not manage Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB and FireWire devices via Group Policy.

DeviceLock provides System Administrators control over which users can access certain devices on a local computer. You do not need to physically remove or block any hardware All you need is to install the software and assign the appropriate privileges to each user or user group.

DeviceLock significantly reduces the total cost of network management in enterprise environments by enabling IT personnel to control user access to floppy drives, other removable media, CD-ROM drives, tape devices, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapters, or USB, FireWire, infrared, serial and parallel ports. You get full control over when, how, and which users will be able to use devices inside your corporate network.

DeviceLock helps hospitals to achieve HIPAA compliance and operate in a secure environment.
