Keeping My Family Safe

FAKE SECURITY CAMERAS

Fake security cameras and dome cameras that are actually empty are an excellent way to keep criminals guessing without having to shell out a lot of money for a real security system.

Purchase your Fake (or Dummy) Security Cameras and place them anywhere to make people think that they are being watched. You should also consider placing a few Dome Cameras in high profile areas where you want to prevent problems.

This was an email sent to me:

Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend had told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car. Then we received this email yesterday:

.
‘WARNING FROM POLICE

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE–NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)’

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating… You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

Also always have your personal security self defense products at hand, at home, on you, and in your car. Stun guns, self defense pepper spray, and personal alarms are all safe and affordable options.

Homeowners Discover the Benefits

CCTV security systems were of course originally intended for business use but it did not take long for homeowners to discover the benefits of home surveillance cameras. They are now used to keep homes and families safe from crime and danger. These home security products are getting more and more advanced  and are capable of doing so much more. Motion detection and wireless systems make these home surveillance cameras capable of covering even the most challenging of security needs.

Deadbolts and Fake Security Cameras

Deadbolts act to deter, prevent and delay a break-in. Thieves may be deterred from attempting to open a door locked with a deadbolt and may leave. Fake security cameras can have the same effect. When a theif sees a security camera they are likely to go in search of a more private crime. They don’t want to take the chance of being recorded. Video evidence is undesireable to crooks. You don’t need to wait untill you can afford some big expensive home security system. There are affordable options you can do all an your own. Start with a good deadbolt and a few fake security cameras. Then mabey a real wireless security camera and a door stop alarm. You can even get yard and window signs to give the appearance of a security system. Act today for the safety of you and your loved ones.

Whether you want to check in on the kids downstairs, or just monitor your home when you’re out and about, wireless is the way to go.  With a wireless security camera you can plant it in any location and receive a signal to your computer or device giving you an up to date picture.  The nice thing about wireless security is that it is non-invasive.  It doesn’t require the installation of wires, and the camera or device can be moved freely to different locations. 

Wireless security cameras are great for monitoring anything from the car in your driveway, to the mouse trap in the basement.

Amongst security systems there are two types used to record surveillance; analog and digital.  An analog system is a traditional security system that uses video tapes or discs to record surveillance.  A digital system records surveillance as computer data.  The truth is, there is no reason in this modern age to have an analog security camera system installed unless it is due to cost.  A digital security camera system tends to have higher quality recordings, and is less hassle because it doesn’t require you to switch out tapes or discs. 

The only real drawback of a digital system is if there is some kind of problem with the computer hard drive, you could lose your data for an amount of time, or in very rare cases permanently.

Personal Alarm Security Device

Personal alarms are in some ways similar to home alarms, except they’re small and easy to carry. These devices’ features vary by model, but can incorporate a high-decibel alarm and a flashing light. They are usually activated by either pulling a pin or pushing a button and are effective for personal security and self defense because they draw the attention of passersby, and hopefully cause the criminal to run.

 Pepper Spray for Personal Security Device

One primary way of defending yourself against attack is pepper spray. Pepper spray is a self defense product that is made from what are, essentially, chili peppers. The pepper is suspended in fluid and then aerosolized into a spray. You can buy pepper spray in small, easy-to-carry containers that can easily be put on a keychain or tucked into a handbag for a convenient personal security device. Some states in the U.S. have restrictions regarding the legality of pepper spray for self defense, either in terms of who is authorized to buy it or the strength of the pepper spray, so you should check your state’s laws before you purchase.
