Protection 1 Celebrates Third Annual Day of Community Service

  • Aug 04, 2015

Protection 1 announced that it has just completed its third annual “All for 1 Day” where its employees volunteered their time for local causes that will benefit the communities where they live and work. During this year’s event, team members from 70 branches across the country donated more than 1,000 hours in support of a wide range of projects benefiting more than 30 organizations and communities. The projects ranged from serving meals at rescue missions, senior centers and local Ronald McDonald’s houses to blood, food and clothing drives and community clean-up projects.

“For the past three years, our employees have enthusiastically participated in “All for 1 Day” spending their time giving back to the communities where they live,” said Timothy J. Whall, chairman and CEO of Protection 1. “This year we saw quite a bit of activity supporting children’s causes. Efforts such as “All for 1 Day” personify our core company values and priorities and we firmly believe that not only do we make a difference in providing safety and security measures to our customers, but we make our communities a better place to live.”

Protection 1’s “All for 1 Day” gives its employees the latitude to choose projects that will make the greatest impact in their areas. Team members from Dallas, Texas took the day to paint rooms at Camp Summit, a premier camp that provides a barrier-free environment for adults and children with disabilities. Team members in Birmingham spent the day cleaning up Jessie’s Place, a women and children’s shelter in that city. In Los Angeles, a food, clothing and essentials drive was held in support of Children of the Night while the Topeka/Lawrence, KS branches held a car wash to raise money for Helping Hands, another not-for-profit that supports families with disabled children.

“All for 1 Day” also gives Protection 1 associates a vehicle to work together outside of their office environments and is a great avenue for fostering team building and an enormous sense of pride.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
