Sahara Projector Protector Specifications

							Williams House, Hailey Road, Erith, Kent, DA18 4AA  SAHARA PRESENTATION SYSTEMS PLC www.saharaplc.com 
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 parked? Well, Sahara has done the same for the Protector. 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 disarmed when the power is interrupted, either by the plug being 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 its corresponding security panel. 
 
Sahara is also able to offer any school the opportunity to personalise the start-up screen.  Once 
burned in, the only way to change the screen is for it to be returned to Sahara for the change.  
Sahara anticipates this can be done at a small cost per machine, and this will be offered at the 
time of purchase.
