Next Step Communications Warns Against the Dangers of Data Breaches with Ring Cameras

Why an IP Camera System Is the Safest Option for Your Colorado Home

You may have heard in the news of late about some security flaws with the Ring system. Most recently, it’s been reported that Ring fired some employees for watching customer videos.

If you are a homeowner in Colorado’s Front Range who wants to feel totally secure that your home video surveillance footage is not in the wrong hands, contact Next Step Communications. A top service provider of video surveillance equipment and installation in Northern Colorado, the team at Next Step is primarily concerned about your privacy.

 “Our doorbell and other home surveillance security cameras connect to a DVR that records video footage to a memory stick inside the device, as well as the hard drive of the system,” says Jason Parmley, owner of Next Step Communications. “Not only does this mean that you and only you have access to your footage and it’s not stored on a massive server somewhere, but you also have the benefit of having that footage on a portable flash drive if needed.”

Parmley says this comes in particularly handy in police investigations, where providing the home surveillance footage on a flash drive is preferable to trying to email or upload it.

“This is definitely a more attractive option to our customers, as it provides them with full access and control of their surveillance footage,” says Parmley. “There is no way someone can change, edit, or delete the footage.”

In addition, Parmley adds that his Northern Colorado home security clients have the option of selecting between two Apps that connect to their home surveillance systems, so they can monitor their residences from anywhere, at any time. Both Apps are triple encrypted, giving Colorado homeowners added peace of mind.

“My family and I had considered a traditional alarm system for our home security, but we have two large dogs who make us feel pretty safe,” says Joshua from Boulder County. “Moreso, we were concerned with the rash of break ins, particularly to vehicles in front of homes, when we began to consider our options. Jason at Next Step came out and did a compete assessment of our situation, and then provided us with a handful of options so we could make the best choice for our home and budget.

“We’ve had our home surveillance system from Next Step now for a few months and absolutely love it. In particular, we appreciate being able to check on our home via the cameras directly from an App on our iPhones. This is definitely a case of where technology can help provide peace of mind. Working in the tech field, I’m very cautious about wireless devices, and anything that could affect the security of my network. I feel 100% safe with this solution.”
