Keep thieves at bay - What's new: looking for higher-education and technology products and services? Start here

University Business, July, 2003 by Nicole Rivard

If the new breed of lightweight, portable projectors has one drawback, it's the ease with which they can be stolen. Now you can deter projector theft and protect your investment with Mitsubishi's XL5950 ColorView LCD projector, the first on the market with a motion-sensitive antitheft alarm. The motion detector is built into the connector panel, cover and is set manually with a key. Removing the safety key arms a 120-decibel,, high-pitch alarm. If the projector is moved, the alarm will sound. The XL5950 offers 4700 ANSI lumens and a contrast ratio of 600:1, and is compatible with Mitsubishi Digital's exclusive ProjectorView networking system, which allows the projectors to be monitored and controlled via the Internet. The cost is $11,995. Visit www.mitsubishi-presentations.com.
