Discussing Loss Prevention with David Gorman
In this episode of SIW Radio, we chat with David Gorman, who served for 21 years heading up Wal-Mart’s loss prevention program. He is an internationally recognized retail loss prevention consultant and public speaker. During 21 years with Wal-Mart he served as Director of Internal Audit and Vice President of Loss Prevention, Risk Control & Quality Assurance. Upon leaving Wal-Mart he founded David Gorman & Associates to help retailers and suppliers enhance earnings and sales through improved performance. SIW Radio caught up with David during a small conference hosted by IP video company Axis Communications, and I hope you enjoy our discussion of loss prevention, shoplifting, and retail store security as much as I enjoyed speaking with David.

Episode 13: New Image Sensor Technology for Security Cameras
In this episode of SecurityInfoWatch.com, SIW Radio host Geoff Kohl interviews Michael DeLuca, market segment manager of image sensor solutions at Eastman Kodak, to discuss the company’s new pattern for deploying both color and panchromatic pixels on an image sensor. The result of the new pattern, says DeLuca, is that the sensors are better in low-light situations, and can help freeze the image better to reduce motion blurs, and will cut out some of the “noise” that tends to appear when digital images are taken in low-light situations. Do these sound like benefits that could help solve some of your low-light problems with security cameras providing poor image quality? We also touch upon the differences in resolution between monochromatic (black and white) images and color images.

In Episode 11, we catch up with Jason Hart, CEO of Cryptocard Europe, to talk about surveillance cameras that are running root passwords and which can be “hacked”.

To follow along with Jason Hart’s “hack” into unsecured network surveillance cameras, you can use the following Google searches that will lead you right to the lenses of the many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of unsecured network surveillance cameras installed around the world:
