CBW LockDown vs SpyAlert

Lock down schools, campuses, office buildings, and large complexes in LESS than a SECOND with the touch of a button! The CBW LockDown app combined with ControlByWeb™ products are the building blocks needed to create a customized lock down system for instant lockdown in the event of an emergency. Simply setup CBW LockDown to trigger a relay, variable, or register on a ControlByWeb™ device* to begin a chain of events to lockdown a building or complex. Relays can be connected to electric door locks, alarms, phone dialers, or lockdown status lights that tell others not to enter the building. In addition, many ControlByWeb™ devices allow you to send email and text messages** to alert authorities and others of an impending threat. ControlByWeb products are highly customizable, for example, once the lock down is enabled, you can configure it to only be disabled by a password-protected, web control panel. Using CBW LockDown with our X-600M industrial controller gives you additional features such as the option to monitor who has triggered the lock down for a quicker response time. CBW LockDown combined with ControlByWeb products is a reliable and cost-effective solution to lockdown schools, campuses, office buildings, and large complexes. Because ControlByWeb products communicate directly with one another, you do not need to use any outside cloud servers or services. There are no monthly fees, and no additional software to install. * Installation of ControlByWeb products requires a basic knowledge of electronics and computer networking. In some cases, a Systems Integrator or licensed Electrician may be required. ** Text messages are sent via email messages to the recipients wireless carrier and converted to text.

SpyAlert – Find Hidden Cameras Before They Find You Checking into a hotel, vacation rental, office, or guest room? Before you unpack… scan the network. SpyAlert helps you discover cameras connected to the same Wi-Fi or wired network you’re using—so you know what (and who) might be watching. How it works 1. Connect to Wi-Fi - Join the hotel, rental, office, or home network like you normally would. 2. Run a SpyAlert Scan - SpyAlert looks for: - Network cameras (IP cameras, baby monitors, nanny cams, doorbell cams, etc.) - Attached cameras hiding behind generic device names 3. Review Possible Cameras - For each suspicious device, SpyAlert shows: - Device name & type (when available) - Network address information - Helpful hints so you can decide what needs a closer look 4. Take Action - Armed with details, you can: - Ask your host or property manager for an explanation - Confirm whether a camera is disclosed and properly placed - Decide if you’re comfortable staying—or need to escalate When to use SpyAlert - Hotels & motels – Quickly scan the room network for unexpected cameras. - Vacation rentals & Airbnbs – Double-check that cameras are only where they’re supposed to be (like exterior doors). - Guest rooms / in-laws / roommates – Make sure your “private space” is actually private. - Home & office networks – See just how many cameras are watching your doors, driveway, nursery, or workspace. Why SpyAlert? - Peace of mind in unfamiliar places - Network-based detection – focuses on devices connected to your network - Clear, human-readable results – no dense network jargon - Conversation starter – real data you can bring to your host, manager, or building owner Important Notes SpyAlert focuses on network-connected cameras and devices visible on the network you’re using. It cannot guarantee detection of every possible camera, especially those that are: - Fully offline - On a completely separate, hidden, or isolated network - Hard-wired to recording equipment with no network access Instead, SpyAlert gives you a powerful first pass—a practical way to see what’s talking on the network and whether that looks like a camera.
