Testimonial: “Proactive is my management philosophy here at O'Kelly's, our intent is to comply fully with all rules and regulations regarding my liquor license and the City of Fargo. Recently, we had an incident in which a few of our employees were found drinking on premise long after the bar had been closed. Along with working closely with the Fargo Police Department, I felt that we needed to implement a video surveillance system which would allow us to monitor operations on site, as well as remotely. Requirements were that myself, along with my management team, would be notified of any movement during specified hours and that no video was to be stored in house. From my research, I found that byRemote could provide us with the video solution that I was looking for. With byRemote storing the video off-site on their servers, I'm assured that the video can't be tampered with and we have anytime access to the video, regardless where we're at. Once the system was installed, a motion detection feature was added to notify my by e-mail with video snapshots of any person or persons that were at the bar during the restricted hours. All of my employees know that they are to be out of the bar by a certain hour and they know now that they will be recorded if they're not. Preventative is the key word.... all of my employees have been made aware of the cameras and know that myself and my management team are monitoring the video. I feel that the video surveillance allows us to run a "tighter ship" and actually, our employees appreciate this. In closing, I would recommend byRemote to anyone who is planning to install a video surveillance system. The installation was professional and quick and the after-installation support is provided with a low monthly fee and now with this being done, I have more time to concentrate on managing the rest of my business."

More Than Safety:
Peace of Mind
Network
Cameras Bridge the Gap for Working Parents
Mission
When Sheila S. moved her daycare to a
commercial building
in West Fargo, North Dakota, she wanted to install
cameras that parents could access via an
Internet connection from their home or office.
She knew it would give her an advantage as well as give parents the peace of mind knowing their
children are happy and safe.
Solution
Sheila worked with byRemote, an IP
surveillance solutions provider, to
install a surveillance system with five Axis
network cameras connected to a DSL line. The
network cameras enable remote viewing via the
Internet and the offsite recording and storage of
images using byRemote Surveillance Center
software. Sheila provides each parent with
their own username and password to access the
cameras and charges a small fee per month for the
service. "We were featured on
WDAY, a local news station, and the
West Fargo Pioneer newspaper about our
cameras." (Actual
story) "I
have had a couple of parents stop by just
because they heard about the cameras," Sheila said.
Result
byRemote's CEO, Bethany Johs, who's child has been
going to Sheila's for the past 4 years says "We have
always had the utmost trust in Sheila and the care
that she and her staff provides. When Sheila
inquired about installing cameras so the
parents could check in our their kids, I was all
for it." As a working mother, Ms. Johs is
the first to admit she feels guilty about leaving
her child in someone else's care while she and her
husband head to the office. "I do not feel
so disconnected from my son throughout the day
because I get the chance to log in and watch him
play," Mr. Johs said. "I wish every parent,
working or not, had this same opportunity."
The Johs' son added "I wave at my mom and dad
because they can see me."
 Advantage:
Live and Recorded Video
Not only does Packer Playland allow access to
specific cameras by authorized parents, but they
also use them as a surveillance system. The
video is recorded off-site at a secure location
hosted by byRemote, Inc.
The system records the cameras in case there was
ever a break-in at the pre-school. By giving
Sheila the ability to
offer both live viewing and recorded video, she is
satisfied she has made the right decision in
choosing byRemote and a network camera system.
"I
plan to add more cameras in areas not currently
covered," Sheila said.
