When making services at a rapid pace due to a crisis like the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic it's important for teams to meet the Service Standard and work in a user-centred way. Using this guidance This guidance only applies to public emergencies with a level of uncertainty like the COVID-19 pandemic. It does not apply to other situations with a rapid deadline where there is not much time to put a service live. In a crisis or emergency situation you may need to put things live before they have been assessed but they will still be peer reviewed. Contact the assurance team at gdsapprovals@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk straight away to find out how your service will be assured. You may have a short time before you need to go live. You may be creating a service at the same time the policy is being developed. So there is no time to spend on things that do not meet user needs. There is also no time to duplicate effort by making things and doing research activities t...

Brandon Jackson and a business associate launched a private security guard company this spring, and for the few months of the firm's life, Jackson also kept his day job as a pharmacy tech at Walgreens.  Then the new security company quickly lined up contracts to provide guards to churches, restaurants and a religious school, he said. "I didn't expect it to go this fast," said Jackson, 33. He said that on Sept. 10, he told his supervisor at Walgreens that he was quitting. He said he plans to focus full-time on the new company, called Urban Security Solutions of Tennessee.  Jackson's experience reflects bigger trends.  Shelby County has far more armed security guards and security guard companies than any other county in Tennessee, a situation that likely reflects the city's high violent crime rate, the ongoing struggle by local police to...

Ring is known for genre-redefining innovations, from multi-use home gadgets to the Ring Neighbors app, which brings the neighborhood watch into the digital age. Ring means smart home security, with all the automation features and smartphone control that entails. But what about regular, old-school home security? Can a house outfitted with a wired security system get the perks of Ring, without starting from scratch? The Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit is designed to integrate existing hardwired home security systems into a Ring ecosystem. But the snowballing costs and minimal integrations make the kit disappointing in its current guise. It offers the most value for existing Ring device owners.  Ring unveiled the retrofit kit back in October, and anticipated a November release. The Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit is now slated for release on December 11, 2019, but is available for pre-order on Amazon. The kit boils down to a wired-to-wireless bridge that allows up to eight cont...

In its continuing quest to dumb down Nest, Google's newest Google Nest Cam is an inferior upgrade to the Nest IQ line. But that's not actually a bad thing. The IQ cameras were superb but overkill for most people, and in the fast-moving smart home security space, at almost 5 years old, they were beginning to age out. The new Google Nest Cam combines most of the high-end smarts of the IQ with the lower specs of the original Nest Cam, adds on-device processing for faster, more accurate notifications, and sprinkles free footage over the whole thing. And all of this for around half the price of the Nest IQ cams. That's a pretty good recipe for a smart home security camera. Replacing both the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor and the Nest Cam IQ Indoor, the new Google Nest Cam (battery) is the first battery-powered Nest Cam, but it can also be plugged in. It can also be used indoors or outside, making it a versatile choice for home security. (It has the confusing name to distinguish it fr...
