Welcome to a new age in high tech security.

With computer theft, computer component theft and data theft at an all time high, you cannot afford to leave computer security to chance. With Barracuda, you are getting the most advanced security product available. Computer CPU's, memory and other components are the prime targets of high tech thieves, mostly due to their small size, lack of identification and high demand. We believe that we have the complete solution to that problem. Not only do we make it practically impossible for a thief to quietly walk away with a computer, we can link directly to your central alarm system. But protecting computers is only the tip of the iceberg. The DATA within those computers is what is most valuable. Just the cost of dealing with customers whose files have been compromised by a computer theft can be many hundred times the value of the computer. The bad press alone can cause havoc!

Once the Barracuda is installed, it is controlled by a sophisticated software, which allows a supervisor to arm or disarm the unit, allowing routine maintenance or upgrade. The Barracuda constantly monitors the internal light levels, motion of the computer and case for illegal removal. If the Barracuda detects unauthorized interference it will perform several tasks to ensure that the thief leaves your building empty handed. In the event that the case is removed a 110 dB siren will sound. At the same time, the device will discharge a completely harmless dry dye (optional) that marks key components, rendering them very difficult to resell, despite the fact that they are still in working order.

Activating:
The device is armed using the installation software provided. Once the initial setup is complete the computer remains protected by the device even when the computer is switched off. The on-board power supply can last beyond one year.

Sensors:
The "CUDA Card" contains sensors for motion, light and tampering. Alarm: 120dB triggered by Barracuda sensors. Motion sensing uses two motion sensors operating in different planes allowing, the card to detect specific types of motion thereby reducing the possibility of false nuisance alarms. Motion alarm triggering can only occur when power is removed. The warning beeps will operate whether in power On or Off states.

Enable or Disable options allow for custom installations suitable for virtually any location or environment.

Installation:
Any free PCI slot.

Power:
On-board power from the long life NimH battery topped up with trickle charge from computer supply.

Monitoring: (optional):
Remotely when on a network. With customization, the Barracuda can be used with security monitoring services.

Paging: (optional):
When used on a network, triggered events can be set to dial any number of pagers or a digital cell phone to signal a breach of one or more computers.

Dye Capsule (optional):
The light sensor constantly monitors the ambient light levels inside the computer and will detect the slightest increase in light if the cover is removed and activate the siren. The combination of these two events occurring together, the light sensor triggered and the case opened as detected by the Tamper switch, then the dye capsule(s) is triggered marking key components and whomever handles these components.

Conventional Alarming: (optional):
Made possible by the addition of a dry contact which can be used in conjunction with the in-house alarm panel. Jumper placement and active wire selection increase the control complexity thereby rendering the system almost impossible to defeat.
