Security Cameras for Jewelry Stores

March 19th, 2009 by admin

The thriving inventions of the surveillance security industry have reached almost every residence, business, and governmental department. The thought of being able to monitor any desired location for several years, nonstop, regardless of the weather conditions or temperature might be basic but it most assuredly produces exceptional results. Not to mention, these cameras are getting increasingly cheap, while their features are increasing in quantity and efficiency. Their recorded footage has been used several times in court hearings as evidence for incidents of every kind.

In fact, the national crime rate has gone down significantly due to their popularity and wide use amongst all facilities and properties.
This next story will present a violent incident caught on tape.

Pinecrest Florida, where video cameras are on watch 24/7 helping to protect this family owned jewelry store. The owner Eddie DePaula has 4 cameras recording as he greets his first customer of the day; at least he thinks it is a customer. The man stands close to the glass cases and gets as close as possible to the store owner. He then pulls out a big gun in his right hand and reaches out with his left arm to grab the clerk by his shirt collar. The scheme does not go as planned and the clerk fights back since he did not notice the gun at first. Without a wait, the culprit leaped over the jewelry counter and the clerk jumped on top of him, knocking over a nearby jewelry case. They continue to wrestle. In a couple of seconds the clerk is in a fight for his life.

The clerk’s nephew is alerted by seeing the fight in the recording security cameras placed all over the store. He races from the back room to his uncle and the clerk finally gets control of the gun. The situation gets less chaotic as the clerks nephew struggles with the culprit and the clerk points the gun at him. Even though the clerk had the gun pointed at him this violent thug continues to resist them in an attempt to flee the store.

The clerk finally reaches the panic button and alerts police but the robber just keeps fighting like a man with nothing to loose. He continues to get louder and louder while ignoring the clerks commands to sit down and calm down even though he still had the gun pointed at him. One can easily tell that he was extremely nervous and continuously yelling and screaming. The clerk decides to send him a stronger message; he shoots a warning shot in the ground near his feet, again with no effect on the man’s temper.

Unfortunately none of the passing pedestrians outside realize the dangerous situation happening just a few steps away from them; their intervention could have been really helpful in this situation. The suspect continues to fight them until finally he runs out of power. After about ten minutes, the police make their entrance, they come in and handcuff the suspect. The suspect is later charged with occupied armed burglary, based on the undeniable evidence provided by the security camera system, and awaits trial. And Eddie DePaula resumes selling jewelry under the watchful eyes of his security surveillance system.

    question on security.?
    okay just so you know im NOT using this informations for bad. i promise. but a question about security cameras. at stores such as sephora, forever 21, and wet seal is there someone monitoring the cameras at all times or not? and can cameras see everywhere? do they also check and see what you pick up and where you go with it? my friend is a shoplifter and she just picks the jewelry up goes over to a rack of clothes, sticks her hands in the rack, and takes the tags off the jewelry. she does the same thing in sephora! and she never gets caught! do they have this on video or what?

    Depends on the kind of shop and their budget for security measures and staff. In all cases, ALWAYS expect them to be watching you EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME to avoid trouble.

    Your friend will get caught, if not tomorrow then next time around. Yes, they have that on video. She has just been too lucky for her own good so far, believe me that will end.

    This is a 50/50 question.

    chances are your friend is really good or they did not get to her in time.

    I had a friend who shoplifted something small and at the same time purchased something else, go figure!

    It exasperated me too.
