At least one player sustains a mild concussion in nearly every US football game. In high school games, there are approximately 67,000 diagnosed concussions every year. In July 2007, The American Journal of Sports Medicine reported that more brain injuries occur in football than any other sport.

Stone Phillips, the highly regarded NBC news correspondent, has recently launched a web site on this topic. It is a subject he understands well, having himself suffered from concussions received as a high school and college football player. Mr. Phillips, a customer of Technocom’s UGuardU video surveillance system, has asked to help him get the word out.

Please join Technocom, UGuardU and Stone Phillips in elevating awareness of this issue. Visit his web site at http://stonephillipsreports.com to learn more. There you will find information, videos and links to support research. We encourage our friends and customers to “Like” this web site, follow along, and become part of the conversation.

Let’s encourage and support youth sports programs, but let’s keep the players safe too.

So what sets UGuardU apart?

UGuardU provides live video feeds using any standard internet browser compatible with motion JPG, such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Cameras can be monitored from anywhere an internet connection is available, and camera sets can be easily viewed in one window. Cameras can also be accessed from most smart phones.

For installations requiring four or fewer cameras, UGuardU can provide video hosting. There are a variery of storage plans available, starting as low as $10 per month. For larger installations, the UGuardU VRS server is available. It uses a secured Linux operating system, and no additional software is required. The small form factor uses fewer materials and weighs less then most tower or rack systems, reducing carbon footprint. The Intel Atom chip provides fast processing with less energy consumption.

UGuardU software enables replay, including instant replay, of stored video images. Data can be archived and kept on removable media and USB drives, providing a simple and inexpensive way to store data off site for added protection.

UGuardU is compatible with cameras from most major manufacturers, including Axis, Sony, JVC, Panasonic, and D-Link. So you can likely keep your existing digital cameras, get rid of your old VCR or DVR, and upgrade to the UGuardU system for video data storage. Digital converters are also available for analog cameras. If you need new equipment, a wide variety of IP cameras are available, including HD, motion detection, pan/zoom/tilt, outdoor, and night cameras.

There are a couple of reasons for this. First off, everyone else wants to shoot elephants, so you are now in competition with other very qualified firms who will bid the price of a project down so that your margins are razor thin. As much as winning a large project looks good on your resume, it doesn’t really add to the bottom line. You put a lot of resources into winning a large job; engineering time, and office resources. It also ties up labor resources that you normally use for your everyday customers.

For a small to medium sized company in this state, you are far better off securing medium sized jobs. These types of jobs allow you to keep adding more customers to your base, which will also add to your service work, and of course increase your bottom line.
