(DALLAS, TX) – The SY KESSLER family, the people behind the GEMORO brand, a trusted name in gold and diamond testing, jewelry cleaning and weighing equipment for over 58 years, created Digital Bodyguard LLC out of a deep concern for the safety of jewelers, pawnbrokers and their families.
Digital Bodyguard’s core strength is its proprietary criminal intelligence database of over 180 million criminal records, aggregated from 36,000 sources of county, state and federal government law enforcement agencies. The Digital Bodyguard system uses an entryway camera designed to forward facial images to this database automatically. Using state-of-the-art face-matching technology, the Digital Bodyguard system sends alerts to designated store management within seconds if the person entering the store is a highly probable match (90%+) with an actual known armed robber, distraction thief, credit card fraudster, or other meaningful known criminal. Digital Bodyguard has been configured so that neither Digital Bodyguard nor its customers collect or capture biometric identifiers requiring notice or consent under applicable laws.
With government research statistics indicating that five out of every six convicted criminals return to a life of crime, the Kesslers believe that the valuable insight and enhanced awareness provided by Digital Bodyguard’s proactive approach represent the future of security.
Traditional security systems with VMS camera surveillance only notify users “after” a break-in or crime has taken place. The founders of Digital Bodyguard are committed to doing more by combining decades of industry knowledge and experience with cutting-edge technology and partnering with leading tech companies and legal experts to build a new proactive layer to your defense system.
