November 30, 2017, Retained by the plaintiff; an individual and his wife, seeking the court’s relief from his next door neighbor aiming cameras into the plaintiff’s waterfront residential property. During this investigation, it was discovered that one of the cameras had a powerful infrared emitter and zoom lens that afforded the viewer a full screen image of the plaintiff’s upstairs rear master bedroom sliding glass door and the bedroom beyond. Using this investigator’s photos, measurements and equipment identification findings, plaintiff received a favorable ruling from the court. Lloyd Young, President SECURAC, Incorporated 855-SECURAC www.securac.com Security License C-10783 Fire License ACR-2313 Level 1 School License O30817001 CEU/Electronic Access School License Y28514301 **************************************** Response **************************************** In Lloyd's case it looks like only the neighbor was sued, not the installing alarm company, assuming it was installed by an alarm company. The camera with the zoom lens seems inappropriate and if the installer was sued it might be indefensible why that camera was used. This type of case should require an expert like Lloyd to testify regarding the characteristics of the camera. The K&K agreements do provide that the end user must use all security equipment lawfully but it may not be enough if the conduct is eggregious enough. **************************************** STANDARD FORMS Alarm / Security / Fire and related Agreements click here: www.alarmcontracts.com *************************** CONCIERGE LAWYER SERVICE PROGRAM FOR THE ALARM INDUSTRY - You can check out the program and sign up here: https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/concierge or contact our Program Coordinator Stacy Spector, Esq at 516 747 6700 x 304. *********************** ALARM ARTICLES: You can always read our Articles on our website at ww.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-articles updated daily ******************** THE ALARM EXCHANGE - the alarm industries leading classified and business exchange - updated daily ************************* Wondering how much your alarm company is worth?
