The Sahara Protector is the UK’s first totally secure projector and
represents the ultimate in theft deterrent projection technology
The concept is stunningly simple. Familiar with car stereo front panels which can be easily
removed when the car is p arked? Well, Sahara has done the same for the P rotector. After the
initial set up the panel is removed and taken away from the classroom where the projector
remains installed, working perfectly via the remote control. When not in use, the remote control
is used to shut down the Protector, de-activating the lamp and projector engine. With the
Protector now in standby, the power source remains constant ensuring the projector stays
completely enabled.
The projector is only di sarm ed when the power is i nterrupted, either by the plug bei ng removed
from the socket, or switched off at the mains. If this happens the Protector will not re-boot until
the operating panel has been replaced. Each projector has a unique serial coded panel and will
recognise only that. Replace it with an unauthorised panel and the projector will not work.
Therefore, should a thief obtain a panel, they will not be able to re-boot any machine but its
manufactured partner. Should the panel genuinely go missing, Sahara will be able to match the
projector to the panel by the serial number and supply a replacement panel within a short time.
The Protector comes in Bright Orange especially aimed at the educational market (although it is
available in silver) to clearly advertise its unique security status. The body of the projector is
also clearly labelled with a message that this projector will not work once removed from the
power source and without the panel. Window stickers are also supplied with every machine to
show that the projector inside is protected with the hope that the more these projectors are
installed into classrooms, the more word will spread that it is pointless stealing a Protector as it
has effectively no sell-on value without it s corresponding security panel.
Sahara is also able to offer any scho ol the opport unity to personalise the start-up scre en. Once
burned in, the only way to change the sc reen is for it to be returned to Sahara for the change.
Sahara anticipates this can be done at a small cost per machi ne, and this will be offered at the
time of purchase.
