LTS provides video security equipment for a very special kind of barbershop in New Jersey

LTS is happy to share the story about our charitable support for “Your Kind of Cuts,” a one-of-a-kind barbershop for special needs children in Nutley, New Jersey. The support was part of a renovation project headed up by NBC’s Emmy-winning George to the Rescue, “a human interest/home improvement program that specializes in helping people and communities through the power of renovation and design.” LTS provided several video cameras, a digital recorder, and other technical equipment to provide modern, high-tech security for the local shop, and our partner Fred Caracciola of Tag Security graciously installed the equipment.

Billy the Barber, as he is known, runs a very unique barbershop in Nutley, New Jersey. He and his staff specialize in serving children with various conditions such as autism. These conditions make haircuts a challenging experience for both the clientele and their parents. The team at “Your Kind of Cuts” are well-trained to make the clients feel at ease throughout the whole process. Their facility had been in need of renovations for some time, and that is where the crew from George to the Rescue came in.

George Oliphant, the show’s creator, and his crew renovate homes and businesses for people who prioritize the art of giving back to their communities. These renovations are made possible in large part by sponsors, and LTS joined the list for this episode. “We were thrilled to hear about the need and jumped at the opportunity to offer security equipment. Learning about what Billy the Barber offers to his community was very inspiring for all of us. We were just so glad to help out and give back to the community – especially for this project,” said Jane Liang, sales associate at the LTS New Jersey office. “We know the cameras and equipment will provide a critical layer of security for the barbershop.”

Here's what LTS provided:

Five Platinum 5 MP Turret HD-TVI Cameras (LTCMHT1752WE-28F),
Three Platinum 5 MP Dual-Light Turret HD-TVI Cameras (LTCMHT2152-28LFA),
A Smart HD-TVI DVR (LTD8508MST),
One Western Digital Purple 3 TB Hard Disk Drive (DHWD33PURZ),
And plenty of RG59 + DC Copper Cable (LTAC2031W) to complete all the wiring.

The full episode first aired Saturday, September 28 at 10am ET on YouTube, and can be watched at this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnsWrLxfCNo. (LTS equipment appears at 14:42 in the video.)
