The Importance of Surge Suppression for Video Equipment Douglas Ringer June 2005

2 Overview Blackout! The electric power supplying your customers business is out. You knew it could happen for a number of reasons at anytime. Suddenly, you wish you had planned for this type of event. Now it’s scrambling time. Their lights are out, their alarms are on battery, their cameras are gone, and their phone is out. Will you face this scenario this year? Not if you prepare now by putting together a system that will minimize the risk to the business operation you are charged with protecting!!!! Are You Prepared for a Power Failure?

3 What is the price to be paid after a catastrophic event? Equipment replacement costs Lost productivity due to system downtime Idle workforce Disrupted scheduling of services Can you afford a catastrophic event?

4 Putting it in perspective Studies show that people drink bottled water because “it’s safer than tap water.” You wouldn’t buy a car without airbags and seatbelts because they lower the risk of serious injury. You install an alarm system on your house to help stop a thief before they can get their hands on your jewelry box, plasma TV & home theatre system, not after they have your computer system in their arms. No, drinking bottled water, installing an alarm system on your home or using your seat belt won’t guarantee you will avoid a disaster, but it will reduce the probability of lost property. A well designed “CCTV System” is no different. Reduce the probability of lost equipment

5 Historically what was done!!! Surge protection was viewed as an add-on, upgrade or a luxury item It was left off a competitive quote. Dealers and integrators were willing to risk downtime Let the customer deal with the insurance companies for replacement Can you risk the downtime?

6 What has changed today? Today equipment is more sophisticated and more vulnerable to surge damage Avoidable downtime today will cost you customers More CCTV systems being installed to prevent lawsuits and reduce shrinkage Is a logical extension of the protection you are already selling Insurance companies routinely require the customer to have surge protection devices installed before they will make payment on any additional claims resulting from surges. Avoidable downtime will cost you customers.

7 Industry changes!!! More and more insurance companies won’t pay a second claim if surge protection hasn’t been installed. Insurance companies routinely require the customer to have surge protection devices installed before they will make payment on any additional claims resulting from surges. Many insurance companies require protection
