Welcome to a new age in high tech security.

With computer theft and computer component theft at an all time high, your office cannot afford to leave computer security to chance. With Barracuda, you are buying 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 de we make it practically impossible for a thief to steal a computer, we mark the components as stolen should a determined thief open the computer.

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 120 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. Sensors: The Barracuda 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 insallations 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: Remotely when on a network. With customization, the Barracuda can be used with security monitoring services. Paging: 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 occuring 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: Made possible by the addition of a dry contact which can be used in conjunction with the in-house alarm panel. Jumpre placement an active wire lesection increase the control complexity thereby render the system almost impossible to defeat. * Specifications are subject to change

Welcome to Barracuda, welcome to total security.

Configuration Dialogue:

The Barracuda features user friendly software that is fully configurable over a network by a network administrator The Barracuda can be used on a single computer or on a network. On a stand-alone computer, all Barracuda security features are available except the paging and remote monitoring features. If the computer is in use on a network and there is a breach on any computer of the network, our monitoring software will be aware of the situation immediately. At this stage the system will contact designated pager(s), digital cell phone(s) or monitoring service, which will provide you with detailed information about the computer being tampered with, allowing you to take the necessary preventative action.

New for this model is the capability for conventional make/break alarming. A user selectable NO or NC contact will activate your in-house alarm system. Barracuda Security Devices are dedicated to bringing industry, schools and other organizations the very best in computer security products. It is this dedication and our commitment to Research and Development that will bring you new and exciting products in the future.
