Let Us Help You Meet New Camera Requirements For Alcohol Code In Bibb County

See Original Article Here 

We are experts in Video Surveillance Systems and have installed systems in homes, small businesses, factories and even systems for the Georgia Army National Guard.

We offer systems at varying price points and even work with a company that can help you finance your purchase.

Macon/Bibb County Requirements from the article linked above

How many cameras do I need?

Package to go retailers need enough cameras to capture the face and clothing of any person (1) entering through any public entrance to the business; or (2) any person making any purchase from the business.

Bars and nightclubs need enough cameras to capture the face and clothing of any person (1) entering through any public entrance to the business; (2) standing outside of the business but within fifty feet of any entrance; (3) making any purchase from any fixed point of sale within the business; and (4) on any dance floor or in any similar area within the business.

Cameras must meet the following criteria to comply with this Ordinance:

  • The camera is producing an image with a 1080p High Definition (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution or greater;
  • The camera must operate at a minimum frame rate of 15 frames per second;
  • The camera must be capable of producing clear images of the faces and clothing of the people listed above in all actual lighting conditions used inside or outside of the business;
  • The camera must be able to save images to a film, tape, or digital media that can be permanently stored and enlarged as needed; and (it looks like the original article cut off what was supposed yo go here, but it looks like it should be a requirement to have video available for 30 days)

 

How can BAP Security help you?

  • We can help you choose the correct cameras to meet the requirements. For example, you must capture video of anyone entering any public entrance. Many standard and low-cost box-store and DIY cameras do  not support WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) which will enable you to capture a good quality image even when the exterior lighting outside the entrance is different than the interior lighting.
  • We can offer modern IP cameras or even cameras that can be upgraded using existing coax cabling.
  • We can make the calculations to ensure that  your system can meet the 15fps(frames per second) and 30 days retention recording requirements.
  • We offer good quality equipment choices.
  • Our personnel will work with you to meet the results you need.

Don’t get caught not being in compliance with the new code.

What is the penalty for non-compliance?

Non-compliant businesses may be cited and fined up to $1,000 per occurrence, and individuals may be jailed for periods not to exceed six months. Additional adverse actions may also be taken against the alcohol licenses of any violators, up to and including the suspension or revocation of all alcohol licenses held by a licensee.

Summer Home Safety Tips

The Home Safety Council offers tips to keep your home safe this summer.

Turn Up the Lights

 

  • Put bright lights over porches and walkways in the front and back.

Lock It Up

 

  • All doors to the outside should have working locks.
  • Garage and shed doors need working locks too.
  • All windows should have working locks.
  • Keep all doors to the outside, sliding doors, and windows locked.

Be Able to Get Out

 

  • Make sure everyone can open all locks from inside your home.
  • Don’t have deadbolt locks that lock with an inside key. You need to get out fast if a fire starts. A missing key could trap you inside.
  • Replace inside-key locks with deadbolt locks that have a “thumb turn” instead of an indoor key.
  • Make sure everyone in your family can reach the “thumb turn” latch.
  • Have window locks that open from inside. Do not nail windows shut. Make sure they open easily.
  • If you have security bars on doors and windows, have a “quick-release” latch. This makes it easy to get outside in an emergency.
  • Make sure everyone in your family knows how to use the latch.

 

Don’t Help Intruders

 

  • Keep bushes and shrubs trimmed under windows so burglars can’t hide.
  • Keep ladders stored in a locked shed or garage so they can’t be used to climb into your home.
  • Keep shades or curtains closed over garage and shed windows.
  • Keep shades or curtains closed over your home windows after dark.
  • Don’t leave toys, tools and equipment in the yard.

When You’re Gone a Few Days

 

  • Make your home look like someone is there.
  • Do yard work before you leave.
  • Have a family member or friend bring in your mail and newspaper while you are gone.

Do you have a working and monitored home security system?

SCAM ALERT – Utility Company Impersonators

FROM THE PERRY POLICE DEPARTMENT

We had a white male possibly Italian 6’02” 240lbs. come to the residence of
an elderly couple saying that he worked for Georgia Power and that he was
going to be doing some trenching in the back of their residence. He asked
the couple to come into the back yard of their residence so he could show
them the area he was going to be working. He was very smooth in determining
that no one else was inside the residence and was talking with another
person over a Nextel. While he was in the back yard with the couple his
accomplice entered the residence and stole Jewelry and money. These thieves
usually target the elderly. The victims in this case were no exception.
Please inform your elderly friends and neighbors of this type of crime.
