History


BrickHouse Security was founded by Todd Morris in 2005, in response to a market need he saw for a strong company selling home security and surveillance products, including computer security products, tracking devices and hidden cameras. BrickHouse Security launched as an online reseller with just two items for sale. The company was self-funded, and by February 2010, had grown to $12.5M in revenue with 35 employees.[5]


In 2015 BrickHouse Security acquired GPS device manufacturer Securus, known for the eZoom, eCare and SpotLite GPS tracking devices for children, elders and pets,[6] as well as GPS tracking provider Zoombak, itself acquired by Securus in February 2011. The deal consolidated the three asset tracking businesses under one brand and one tracking platform.[1]



Products


The company divides its products into four categories: alarm systems, GPS trackers, security cameras and hidden cameras.



Alarm systems


BrickHouse markets alarm systems under the 2GIG, TattleTale and Dakota Alert brands. The company also sells MORzA Sentry home security equipment which includes remote monitoring capabilities using a control panel branded as MORzA Go!.



GPS trackers


BrickHouse Security's GPS tracking devices include personal[6] and fleet tracking devices.[7]



Security cameras


BrickHouse Security's security cameras include versions featuring night vision, dashboard mounting, IP cameras for remote viewing, mini cameras and professional CCTV systems for businesses.



Hidden cameras


BrickHouse Security sells hidden cameras under the Camscura brand. The company also markets a camera and sensor system designed specifically for home sharing sites such as Airbnb and HomeAway called MORzA Airbnb, to protect owners from renters misusing the properties. The system detects motion and movement that could indicate unwanted activity.[8]



Media coverage



Todd Morris


The company's founder, Todd Morris, is a nationally recognized security consultant for businesses, and is a contributor to the security coverage of various media outlets including ABC News, Fox News, CNN and NBC's The Today Show.[9][10][11]



Airbnb protection


The company received coverage for its MORzA Airbnb security system, which is targeted for Airbnb hosts concerned about misuse of their property by renters.[12][13] The device uses motion sensors to detect unusual motion patterns for the guests, such as doors being opened too frequently or private closets being opened.[14]



Saving Jesus


The company received extensive media coverage for its Saving Jesus campaign, a program it launched in 2005 to loan GPS trackers to churches over the Christmas holiday season in order to protect the Baby Jesus and other figurines in their Christmas displays from theft.[15][16][17][18][19] The system uses cloud tracking to send a text or email alert to the owner if the figuring is moved.[17] The company claims that not a single figurine using the system has been stolen.[18]



Duracell ad controversy


In 2008, as part of its "Trusted Everywhere" campaign series, battery producer Duracell announced a partnership with BrickHouse Security to run a television commercial[20] promoting BrickHouse Security's RFID Child Locator with Long Distance Alert. The device came preinstalled with Duracell batteries.[21] Several media outlets including MSNBC and Consumers Digest voiced concerns that the ad was unnecessarily playing on parents' fears.[22] The campaign was very successful and the company sold 4 months of inventory in the 48 hours after the ad first aired.[3]

Node.js Script on GitHub Pages or Amazon S3

0 I'm wondering if I can run a Node.js script in my Jekyll page from GitHub Pages or Amazon S3? I think it can't run on GitHub Pages since it doesn't support server side code. Not too sure. The code is below: var Airtable = require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY').base('appAnZVyYqusNPV5Q'); base('Invitee list').select( // Selecting the first 3 records in Complete list: maxRecords: 3, view: "Complete list" ).eachPage(function page(records, fetchNextPage) // This function (`page`) will get called for each page of records. records.forEach(function(record) console.log('Retrieved', record.get('Email')); ); // To fetch the next page of records, call `fetchNextPage`. // If there are more records, `page` will get called again. // If there are no more records, `done` will get called. fetchNextPage(); , function done(err) if (err) console.error(err); return; ); node.js
