PROTECTING Privacy in General

Protecting Privacy with a StudiosPDQ Instant Studio

How The STUDIOS PDQ Instant Home Studios System Protects Your Privacy.

We have now come to expect that video calls with our family, friends, co-workers, clients and teachers is the new normal. However, what most of us were not prepared for was that these video calls would be quite frequent, involve so many different levels of individuals and showcase our personal space.

In some instances people have found themselves interfacing over video with a colleague only to then have to transition into a parent-child teacher conference. Even weirder might be a group chat with the parents of all of the students who were all, unexpectedly, in your home (so to speak)!

While some people claim that their number one fear is public speaking there are still others who dread having their private lives and their ‘home’ on display for, essentially, perfect strangers. Yet, as we have all realized with the advent of the ubiquitous video call, our homes have been opened up for inspection whether it’s for work or school. Our once private sanctuaries are now being telegraphed to our co-workers, clients, classmates and more.

In other words, not only are we on display via the video conference call but the same can be said for our personal and private living space. Our living space is now communal. We have gone from sharing the corporate footprint of workstations and conference rooms to the actual confines of our private homes.

While it is true that we often truly enjoy the company of our colleagues, classmates and clients, there was always a line of demarcation between home and office or home and classroom. That is no longer the case. In some instances we are actually “inviting” perfect strangers into our homes and, further, there are times that we don’t even know who is on the call. What’s more is that the “sharing” of personal space is not always reciprocal: how many video calls have you been on when some of the participants are not “sharing” their video?!

What’s more is that in some cases we are being recorded during these calls whether we know it or not.

Imagine that you are making a presentation via video and your image and your background are fuzzy? What is that conveying to the customer? Imagine that your home office is your dining room table and the hutch in your background has family photos, trophies and your family china? Where then is your customer actually focusing his or her attention? Is it on your presentation or your knick-knacks? Well, this is the new world of video calls so we need to accept and embrace the new reality.

The migration over to mandatory “at home” working seemed to happen overnight and caught many of us unprepared. However, when the transition from the corporate footprint occurred, the employee guidelines and protocols were still in effect. The only difference now is that your current “workstation” or classroom in your home provides a direct and immediate insight into your personal and private lives.

The STUDIOS PDQ Instant Home Studios System was created to protect your private lives from public scrutiny. Period. Human nature is generally inquisitive; there is nothing strange about being interested in how another person structures his or her life when outside of work or away from the classroom. However, the decision to invite people into your personal space must reflect the same parameters that were in effect before people were working from home and follow the same protocols.

The privacy of your personal space is the mission of the STUDIOS PDQ Instant Home Studios System.

With STUDIOS PDQ you can rest assured that we’ve got your back!

SHIELDING Your Privacy at Home

Protecting Your Child’s Privacy at Home

Protecting Your Child’s Privacy at HomeWe live in startling times in which we are on camera a great deal and our children are no exception to this new era of ‘digital disclosure on demand’.  The StudiosPDQ Instant Home Studios System will ensure that your child’s private space remains hidden at all times.

While 2020 has forced many adults to communicate with coworkers via video conference calls from their new home office environments it has also required children to resume their classes online as well through regular teacher/student video calls.

Prior to 2020 it is unlikely that any parent would have ever permitted their young child to be on a video call, of any kind, while unsupervised.  Not only has 2020 normalized the unsupervised video call between children, teachers and classmates but it has also opened children up to an invasion of privacy which is potentially problematic on many levels.

The virtual classroom has morphed from what was once a secondary option for obtaining an advanced degree to the daily routine for children as young as four and five who are now attending virtual kindergarten classes.  Even the undergraduate and graduate scholastic campuses have gone from vibrant buzzing hallways of excitement to the confinement of a child’s bedroom walls.

The invasion of privacy into a child’s bedroom, even more than that of an adult’s work from home environment, is quite sensational on many levels.  The fact that an adult, the teacher, can see directly into a child’s bedroom is bad enough; however, add to this the fact that there are potentially other adults who might be peering in during the video call as well.

StudiosPDQ will provide you with the peace of mind that your child’s personal space is completely private and secure.

If that wasn’t bad enough, there is also the potential for bullying based on the prying eyes of fellow students who might spy a particular toy, game or wall poster that doesn’t reflect what all the “cool” kids have in their rooms.  What child hasn’t used their walls to celebrate their heroes, favorite musicians, actors and athletes?   We all know how quickly pecking orders begin over insubstantial cues like that.   No one but your child’s best friends and his or her family should ever have access to that information.

The StudiosPDQ Instant Home Studios System compensates for the height of a child by easily lowered the frame to ensure that it is closer to the ground.   This is done by substituting the standard 2’ Black PVC base with the Yellow 1’ base; a child can set this system up in a matter of minutes and then tuck it away under his or her bed or in their closet.

Additionally, if the school software does not permit a virtual background, there are many options for the creation of a vinyl banner that can be used as your child’s permanent backdrop.  These banners come in several sizes and will be attached to the StudiosPDQ Instant Home Studios System via the rubber tipped clamps.
