I'll stay out of the discussion but, I'd just like to know ahat kind of Security recording device you used. What brand and model. The video looks good and I am in the market for a security DVR for my residence. But I am a little bummed about the lack of resolution on each individual camera view. Is that a fault of the cameras involved or a limitation of the recording device?

Thanks
thats because when i recorded it, at the time, i did not specifically choose a frame out of the 4 displayed.
when i posted the video, i edited, cropped and resized each frame from the original video and combined those frames in sequence, thats why theres loss of resolution.
the cameras, i forgot what brand, but are color, water/weather proof, infrared sensitive with infrared LED's (about 150 of them).
the quad processor at the time was a b/w one and since i have upgraded to a color unit.
the DVR unit i am using to record is an old "ReplayTV 2000" i changed the hard disk to a 160GB, its strictly for the camera system.
the microphones are electret condenser type and i weather-proofed them myself.
there are four microphones on each corner of the house.
in quad mode, all 4 mics can be heard at once.
the time of the video recording, i did not have a compressor inline for the sound, which case i do now.

Automation - It depends on what hub you are in and in what part of the country. The two largest hubs I know for a fact have automation and use it very efficiently. Chicago has one, Chicago Area Consolidation Hub or CACH, is located off highway 294. CACH sorts around 1.5 million ground packages a day. The other hub is in Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville, or SDF, is UPS's largest airhub. On an average night, they sort around 650,000 Next Day Air, 2 Day, and 3 Day Select. They see around 100 aircraft a day to ship it out all over the world.

Package Handling - UPS teaches hand to surface methods to ALL employees. Obviously you see in the video that this is not happening. UPS realizes this is a huge problem with the amount of money they pay in damaged packages. Right now UPS is starting a massive campaign to reduced the number of damaged packages and begin to care more about the quality of work.

Discipline - It might be hard to discipline this driver because the name of the town is not given, nor the address of the package being delivered. Also, you can not see the number of the truck, which would help greatly. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18227200 Tue, 24 Apr 2007 17:38:09 EDT Re: [video] UPS Delivers ! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18226837 rawwhide :

No secondary or primary sorts, no pick-offs, nothing. It's all automated. That's why the newer hubs have a high turnover rate, very little room for advancement beyond stacking boxes.

But I told the UPS driver to NEVER throw my packages like that again. I just told him to throw them at the front door and if their heavy, to just leave them at the station because I will go and get them automatically.

There are times that I am not at home but it is imperative that the package be left at my door, especially a package that is marked signature required.
If a package is marked Signature Required, FedEx will not leave it, not matter how many signature releases you have on file. Most packages are sent signature required for good reason. Some items that come to mind right away are firearms and alcohol.

And lets say that there a rubber duck in the box and the shipper wanted a signature. This is a perfect example where the recipient would be pissed off at the courier when they should be pissed off at the shipper for requesting a signature.
At my new apartment complex (which might as well be a condo set), if you're not home, they have someone at the management office sign for the package. This is UPS I'm referring to. Which is funny, because at my old apartment complex (which was the least expensive in town), UPS said they couldn't leave it with the apartment manager due to "privacy violations". Mighty funny. My new complex even has a dual signature process: they sign for the package, then you sign acknowledging that you received it. That way if you don't get your package yet the office shows having signed for it it's on the office to produce it.

FedEx I'm not sure about at the new complex, but what I do know is for the old complex, I HATED FedEx and DHL with a passion. FedEx always screws up the delivery for apartments, no matter what I do. I was apartment E7, they delivered it to D7; They did that twice. $500 piece of equipment. Fortunately the residents had morals or I'd be out my merchandise, because the Tracking system showed they delivered to the right address. DHL just threw the package at my door like a newspaper; didn't even knock and I was home waiting. I just looked at the tracking one minute, it said on route. 6 minutes later it said delivered, I'm like huh? Look outside and it's thrown on my porch.

If I had to pick a preference it would be USPS Express mail, since my new complex has that package storage process that the post office has where they leave you a key to a locker with your package in it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18225769 Tue, 24 Apr 2007 12:34:46 EDT Re: [video] UPS Delivers ! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18225726 ninjatutle : With all of this surveillance cameras mounted, I'm pretty sure the UPS guy didn't want to step foot any more closer then he did.

Here is one thing I don't understand: Why doesn't UPS have a signature waiver authorization? FedEx does! There are times that I am not at home but it is imperative that the package be left at my door, especially a package that is marked signature required.

The toss was about 25 feet. Heh! No damage ensued from the toss!

OK,I admit that Karli, viewed from the front in the open, was (she died in February, 2007) looking like a vicious dog. However, she was inside the house at the time of this delivery. OTOH, although she looked dangerous, she was in fact a pussycat; the deliver agent had no knowledge of this. This, notwithstanding, does not excuse Karli or I, her owner, from complicity in this tossing even though the Karli dog was behind a closed door.

BTW, no signature was required for the package.

Anyway, this type of pathological delivery does happen, for sometimes realistic reasons: the delivery driver/agent obviously had experience with dangerous dogs, and elected for the "toss" rather than the "ring the doorbell" and possible "threat to his/her life" delivery.

I cannot fault his decision to toss. Most commercial shipments are impervious to tossing. OTOH, a computer should be returned to the UPS station rather than to be tossed.

The shot of the van could have been shot on one day, the shot of the guy throwing the box at another time. :uhh:
heres the original video to dispel your theory.

Where are you getting your information from anyway?
A trade magazine that I linked to where they interview a with a guy from UPS.

apparently that's not enough:
»money.howstuffworks.com/ups2.htm
»www.pressroom.ups.com/pressrelea···,00.html

If they're planning to offer next day service, particularly to international destinations, they're going to have automated sorting equipment; automated sorting is the whole point of maxicode.

second question:

KW: Essentially the Operations Research group has two sides to it, an optimization group and a simulation group. On the simulation side, our main focus right now is a huge new facility that we’re in the process of building in Louisville. We started work on it about three years ago and it’s scheduled to be fully operational next summer, at which time it will be the largest automated sorting facility in the world.


This is from at the latest 2003.

Yes, the packages go through MUCH worse than that before arriving at our door.

Yes, the driver should be severely reprimanded for PUBLICLY handling a package as such.

Yes a clear path to the door should be available to the driver.

Catching it on video = priceless + pwnd!

I probably speak for others as well here but I rely on the major delivery companies on a daily basis and if I ever saw one handle my package in such manner there would be serious consequences. I imagine just on this forum alone there are hundreds if not thousands of people who at one point or another have ordered goods via the web and had them delivered by "brown". As other posters have mentioned, what if it was a hard drive or some other form of fragile electronic that was just irresponsibly thrown onto a porch as it was the morning paper?

The boxes get unloaded from the trucks (by PEOPLE) onto a conveyor belt. The belt takes them to the "primary sort" where more PEOPLE put them on the correct belt to take the boxes to different areas of the hub. Then more PEOPLE take those boxes off the belt and into the correct truck. Then even more PEOPLE load those boxes into the truck.
