"The new security system from Third Eye alerts casinos, banks or convenience stores if an employee's heart begins racing, indicating a possible robbery or theft in progress.
Portable surveillance systems company Third Eye has released a Security Alert Tracking System (SATS) that allows casinos, banks or convenience stores to be alerted if one of their employees' hearts begins racing. The purpose is to add intelligence to security and surveillance, alerting management to the fact that an employee is under stress and could be in an emergency situation, or even planning a theft against the business. The system can be customized as to how security is alerted if an employee's heart begins racing. In the case of a bank or convenience store, in which robbery is a concern, an alert such as a flashing light could be sent directly to security personnel, who could then refer to video images at that specific store or branch and contact law enforcement if necessary."
