With the Security Alert Tracking System from Third Eye

Theft at the workplace is becoming an increasingly bothersome problem for a large number of employers, and that's the reason why more and more companies are taking steps towards solving this problem by installing various surveillance systems. However, it would seem that hidden spy-cameras are slowly becoming a thing of the past, and the best example of this trend is represented by the Security Alert Tracking System from Third Eye, Inc., a system that is capable of detecting an employee's unlawful intentions by reading his/her heart rate.

The Security Alert Tracking System (a.k.a. SATS), is based on a very simple medical principle. Whenever a human being encounters a stressful situation (being subjected to threatening behavior, getting engaged in illegal activities), the respective person's heart rate fluctuates. If the employer is capable of reading all these fluctuations, then it could provide an increased level of security for both its assets and its employees.

The most important element of the SATS system is a wrist-mounted device that employees can comfortably wear at all times, that has the purpose of sending information continuously and wirelessly to the employer's central monitoring system. Thus, if the wearer's heart rate exhibits unnatural fluctuations, the information is captured on the central monitoring receiving system, and a special surveillance team can then investigate the event.

Third Eye's SATS system offers multiple connectivity options, since it can either be integrated into existing closed circuit video networks or configured as a standalone turnkey system with its own video network of cameras which, when triggered, zoom in on the employee. The system might prove to be quite effective, since even those employees with malevolent intentions will think twice between carrying them out, knowing that they might be betrayed at any point by their own heart.
