Just read this fascinating thread on stolen projectors, and it all started with why Hitachi’s orange projector won’t get stolen! But it moved on to more interesting conversations. Ars Technica says The ED-X10 projector, created mainly for use in educational facilities, is one ugly-lookin’ orange beast. Its security system features a transition detector, which tracks if the projector is moved.

The Hitachi guys have jumped on the orange bandwagon. This Hitachi orange projector is a copy of an idea from a company called Sahara, who launched THEIR orange security projector (The Protector) a while ago.
Pin coded projectors like Hitachi’s, I am led to believe, can still be quite simply ‘chipped’ to make them work again and therefore the number one request from schools was a removabe panel which can completely disable the machine and some way of telling potential thieves not to bother…both of which the Protector has.
Sahara it appears actually designed the Protector in consultation with UK Schools, Local Eductaion Authorities, Police, Insurance Companies and Government Bodies to ensure they included the features that were needed to help reduce theft from schools.

There were some projectors stolen from a school ealier this year but because the Protector’s warned thieves that if removed they will cease to work,(and were bright orange I guess) they were left behind.
Maybe a coincidence but our next purchase of projectors will be Protectors too…and the more word gets round the less people will attempt to steal these machines!
Tell as many people as you can is my advice.
