Guns stolen at Freddy's

Was just by there...looks like they will be putting in a security system, including a sensor for glass breakage.

I'm no network specialist either, but the company I work for does install commercial grade CCTV systems, so I can share a little of what I know.

I ran a 'sample' system through a storage calculator, here's an idea of what you'd need for a 12 camera system, at 1 megapixel (which will give you HD resolution for facial recognition) per camera, 20fps frame rate (full motion is 30fps), H.264 video compression. Planned storage was set to 60 days, though it's not uncommon for loss prevention to require more than 60 days. Here are some stats on that 12 camera setup:

* Bandwidth - 40.11 Mbps
* Storage (60 days) - 51.99 TB

Typically, storage of that type needs to be redundant in some way, so a RAID array will often be employed so if one storage device fails, you have a backup. I don't know any commercial customers that use wireless cameras, they're far too unreliable. There are also costs associated with the video server, IP licenses (usually charged per camera) and sometimes seat licenses to access the software. It can add up rapidly for a mid to large sized commercial customer. For a customer like Freddy's, it's also highly likely that they will require some kind of enterprise level solution that allows them to collect data from multiple sites (stores) at a central security location somewhere in the company - now you're spreading that 40 Mbps of data from multiple stores across a wide area network - it can add up quickly. You'd need to ask a network person for more details on that side of things.

Thanks, that really is a ton of data.

News channel 8 had a follow up story this morning. They said the thief stole 22 guns.
I'm not sure if they meant .22 caliber guns. Or 22 guns total.
The news wouldn't try to sensationalize there report, and make a gun sales store look even more incompetent would they?

According to KGW news, they caught the guy up in Washington. He was arrested on an unrelated manner and had one of the stolen guns on him.

OK! The good guys got a bad guy.

I wonder why they wouldn't disclose the make and model of the weapons that were stolen....I can think of a couple of scenarios that might help getting the thief/thieves.

I went by the OC Freddy's today. The gun counter was open for business, but had someone stationed at the counter full time - something I've never seen before. It was good to see they were still open - and had some 9mm for the first time in ages

Great news!
