A CERTAINTY video surveillance system keeps an eye on your home and business without emptying your pocketbook.

Our single-cable Powerline design makes installation simple. Plug the CertaintyCam into any electrical outlet. Load CertaintySoft on your home computer. That’s it! Digital video travels over existing electrical wires. No new cables. No Mess.

CertaintySoft combines the quality and functionality of a professional system with a new easy to use Office 2007 style interface. It will be bundled with CertaintyCam starter kits.

“We are excited to begin testing CertaintySoft. It is based on VisualGate technology and delivers the same powerful professional features in a simpler smaller package.” said Isaac Raichyk, chief executive officer of CertaintyPoint. “Kits containing the new software will start shipping in the first quarter of 2010. Each kit is a complete single camera surveillance system in a box priced under $300.”

The security cameras on the streets are monitored by civilians working for a nonprofit group. They pan, zoom and call police if they see a crime.

Some 165 closed-circuit TV cameras soon will provide live, round-the-clock scrutiny of nearly every street, park and other public space used by the 55,000 residents and the town’s many tourists. That’s more outdoor cameras than are used by many major cities, including San Francisco and Boston.

Unlike anywhere else, cash-strapped Lancaster outsourced its surveillance to a private nonprofit group that hires civilians to tilt, pan and zoom the cameras — and to call police if they spot suspicious activity. No government agency is directly involved.

Perhaps most surprising, the near-saturation surveillance of a community that saw four murders last year has sparked little public debate about whether the benefits for law enforcement outweigh the loss of privacy.

“Years ago, there’s no way we could do this,” said Keith Sadler, Lancaster’s police chief. “It brings to mind Big Brother, George Orwell and ’1984.’ It’s just funny how Americans have softened on these issues.”

“No one talks about it,” agreed Scott Martin, a Lancaster County commissioner who wants to expand the program. “Because people feel safer. Those who are law-abiding citizens, they don’t have anything to worry about.”

A starter kit contains one camera, two bridges, a Power and Ethernet cable and a CertaintySoft installation disk. Up to fifteen CertaintyCams can be added over time.

One big advantage of CertaintyCams is that you can plug them in anywhere in the house and they work just as simply as a Webcam. Better yet, they capture DVD quality video, helping the Police identify the invaders.

“We are pleased to have been able to arrange first stage financing in these tough economic conditions,” said Isaac Raichyk, chief executive officer of CertaintyPoint. “Today, investors are reluctant to participate in any but the most promising ventures.”

The CertaintyCam301 uses a 1/3″ CCD image sensor to provide outstanding image quality for any security application. It also offers concurrent two-way audio and D1 image resolution at frame rates of up to 30 fps.

CertaintyPoint announced availability of the CertaintyCam301 for early summer delivery.

The CC401 has broad application in both residential and commercial settings. It comes bundled with CertaintySoft video management software to deliver a true professional-grade surveillance system at one amazing low price.

CertaintyCams plug into any local electrical outlet using CertaintyBridge, a proprietary single cable Power & Ethernet adapter. No additional power or network wiring is required. Digital video travels over existing electrical wires to a local computer or through a network router to the Internet.

No cabling costs. No mess.
