Home Security

Many of us are worried about leaving our home while on work or vacation and even when asleep, especially if the neighborhood is of notorious reputation. People are even afraid of leaving kids and old people at home for the fear that someone might break in and harm them. Some may even keep a weapon under the pillow. All these are not baseless fears but developed due to harrowing incidents of the past. People are becoming more and more cautious about protecting their homes by securely locking homes, not opening doors to strangers, informing neighbors if away from home for a long time and seeking assistance of home security systems.

Intruders and anti-social elements keep an eye on opportunities to gain entrance to homes. They do their homework well to look for the weakest points of entry to the home and all possible escape outlets like windows, doors and skylights. They too observe carefully if any surveillance systems are in use. Burglars might hesitate more to touch a house equipped with security systems like cameras, alarms and detectors.

Most people appreciate the value of securing their homes and there are several ways to do it. Even simple things like using heavy strong doors and windows and locking them takes more time to break into, and a burglar may be caught easily due to the noise caused. There are many kinds of safes too that can be placed in hidings for valuables. Good lighting outside at night is also a good idea. Alarms that go off easily scare intruders and warn people around that something is wrong. Installation of security systems is becoming more and more popular because of high safety they provide. They include control panels, many kinds of detectors, alarms and cameras. Budget and quality are the only considerations to ensure peace of mind.

A home can be made secure in different ways. Understanding the psychology of burglars, it is wise to invest some amount in maintaining security of a house rather than losing much more after a theft. This can be done using various security systems. They may not always be foolproof but at least they will reduce the risk of crime significantly

Home Security - Protect Your Home with Dummy Security Cameras

Today with the increasing number of cases of stalking, theft, rape and murder, you do not need to be a celebrity or a millionaire to secure your home. While some essential security devices like alarm systems and electronic door locks are affordable, products like electronic sensors, surveillance cameras may be costly for a middle class householder. However, the pressing security demands that you do something to scare the criminals. The answer lies in dummy cameras.

Dummy cameras will scare would-be trespassers and criminals enough for them to leave your home alone. These cameras look exactly like the real ones. There is no difference in these cameras and the real ones except that these are not cameras at all. They look like the real ones and are priced as low as $25-$30. Most of the dummy cameras have cables to give the feeling that it has a connection to a control room where the camera shows on screen whatever image it catches. Some dummy cameras are so designed that they move along with the movement of the object in front of it. The focal lengths printed on the camera lenses, cables and sturdy look can deceive anyone into thinking that these are the real CCTV cameras.

The trick in buying dummy CCTV cameras is that you should be careful that they do not look like dummy cameras. There are dummy cameras that have real camera housing minus the electronics. These cameras really give the real look of a security camera. An original security surveillance camera would be the same when its electronic components are removed. Therefore, an outsider will not have the slightest doubt that it is a dummy CCTV camera. The flashing red LED adds to the authenticity of the dummy CCTV cameras.

Dummy security cameras can fit on the interior of your home as well as mounted on the exterior. There are dummy security cameras that imitate popular companies, which build replicas of their popular models. Shops could use these dummy security cameras and would be an added asset in many cases especially in high robbery areas. Dummy cameras pan from left to right upon detecting movement in front it, so any would-be criminal will think he is being watched. That's enough to scare a prospective robber. Much like real surveillance cameras dummy security cameras can be mounted on roofs like dome cameras.

Whatever the variety and model that exist in the market for real surveillance cameras, dummy security cameras are there with the same exact look and feel. At low cost and virtually no maintenance these cameras are of great help in averting theft, trespassing and even serious crimes.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Choosing a Home Security System

Two million American houses are burglarized according to the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association. A majority of these houses have no alarm system to warn off the burglars or to notify the occupants or neighbors that a burglary is taking place. Installing security equipment - security hardware and software for your home provides a peace of mind and alerts and reacts to any unauthorized entry. Below are the basic steps to purchasing and installing a home alarm system:

1. Survey your home and decide how many of the doors and windows of the house will be included in the alarm system.

2. Talk to a security system adviser, an insurance agent, or a local police department for names of security companies.

3. Call up each of the companies and ask for an inspection by them as well as a recommendation and a price quote.

4. Depending on the reason for the security alarms and your family's normal lifestyle, pick the appropriate type, brand, and locations for sensors around the home.

5. A basic part of the security system to decide is the 24 hour monitoring system for an extra monthly fee. When there is an attempted robbery, a signal is automatically sent to security professionals that will contact the proper local police. A less expensive monitoring system will call pre-selected numbers for help when there is a break in.

6. Make sure all the zones can be controlled with one control panel. A zone is any window or door that is incorporated into the security system. The basic system can only control eight zones but it can be upgraded to control up to thirty two. These systems usually range around $350-400. Pick where the control panel will be placed as well as any other keypads throughout the house. The keypads in most houses are placed at the front door and in the bedroom, allowing certain components to be turned on or off while the control panel manages the entire system.

7. When looking for a home automation system, make sure that they connect to lighting, smoke, carbon monoxide, and flood sensors. A problem that quite a few systems have is that during the winter their switches freeze so consult an authority for its practicality during the winter.

8. Once the system is installed, the code should be easy to remember by everyone in the family and should be kept private under most circumstances. Make sure the keypad is user friendly and can activate and deactivate alarms in seconds.

9. There are many advantages to choosing wireless burglar alarms. One of the main ones is that there is no reason to drill too many holes in the wall. And if a retrofit comes into the scenario, having a wireless system becomes a huge convenience.

General Tips: 1. Check that the system has a backup battery power. 2. Ask about maintenance tests, how does them, and how often. 3. Choose the monitoring service before buying the system because the type of system limits what type of service you will receive.

Today's Home Security

Security is the most important aspect of life, most so in the case of home security. In the days of ever increasing crime and theft, it is all the more imperative for us to have a safe and strong home security system. The miscreants are well exposed to the modern methods of surveillance and monitoring making normal life highly vulnerable even inside our own home.

Many a careless family would tell their horrifying experience of house breaks and thefts that had happened to them out of sheer negligence and lack of proper security system.

Home security systems of varied nature and methods are plenty available. A simple warning signal by means of a security tag from a reputed security agency itself acts a deterrent for the robbers. However it is wise to choose an effective and economical system to make the security at home really effective. A good monitoring system to work in your absence and that would react when triggered enabling someone to see, or a system that produces an alarm, that can be directed to the Police or emergency service, is an ideal choice.

Use of variety of locks is another option to protect the house in one's absence. Protecting the family and the belongings from the vulnerability of thefts and house breaks is no small task. One has to be quite relaxed when one is away from one's house and has to ensure the possessions are quite safe even in their absence.

Wireless home security system, the modern effective way of protecting the home and the family, though a new concept, is really effective. One has to know the basics of wireless home security system before choosing the same.

The first aspect to be considered in a wireless security system is to determine the number of doors and windows that could be brought under the system. The placing of the control panel and keypads is an individual choice, while some prefer it near the front door, others find it convenient to be on the side of the bedroom.

The doors and windows need to be near to the sensors to enable them to communicate with the sensors. Various choices are available in monitoring systems; one option is to hire a company for a nominal fee. If on the other hand one choose to spend less, a basic system with a dialer connected to the telephone, that can dial the chosen numbers would be sufficient.

Motion detectors is normally a good option, unless of course the pets in the home roam around, during night or when the system is enabled making unwanted alarms or warning signals.

One should entrust the home security system to a reputable and trust worthy security agency. The wireless home security system chosen should monitor every zone in the house. Further the system should be user friendly and effective during an emergency.

The batteries used in the contact devices tends to be a costly as the same is to be replaced and each service call needs to be paid. The system therefore is a bit expensive compared to a hard wired system. One has to be a little technical savvy to avoid such expenditure and capable of reinstalling the batteries by oneself.

Installation of the wireless security system is quite easy and once the control panels and sensors are properly placed at desired points, the system is operational and you stand protected. Alternatively one can also get the system installed by a contractor or a company specialized in the service at a nominal cost.

Wireless Home Security Camera

Home security is an important issue for any person. A person's home is their castle and they want to feel safe and secure. There are several security measures that can be implemented to ensure security such as alarms but one that ensures peace of mind is a wireless home security camera package.

What's need in the package is a camera to fit either just outside the front or back door that transmits a wireless signal. The best one to buy would be one that has night vision to ensure you can see everything at night. The second would be a receiver. Some receivers have screens so you can watch what's going on no matter where you are and others need to be connected to a computer or television to see the transmission.

If connected to a computer or television the live feed from the camera can be directly recorded to a hard drive or a cassette or DVD depending on which is convenient. Several cameras can be implemented to get several signals meaning more coverage of the home and the surrounding area.

These wireless home security packages are common and can be purchased at most electronics stores. They are on the expensive side but are worth the purchase for the kind of technology it has. With almost everything becoming wireless these days it was only a matter of time until cameras became wireless also.

Most people need some sort of security measure in place, not for protection, but for peace of mind that they are safe in their home. Although there are several other measures that can be implemented in terms of security, the wireless home security camera is a valuable tool for keeping an eye on things at all times. It will complement any other security measure you have in place and will not disappoint.

HARRY BELAFONTE: DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (D.H.S.) AKIN TO NAZI S.S.

Excerpts: To wit, two once-Communist "head hunters": Yevgeni Primakov, ex-K.G.B. boss; and Marcus Wolf, ex-East German Secret Police [S.T.A.S.S.I.] Chief, are working in the employ of Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (D.H.S.). This is possible due to Executive Order #12919 signed by Bill Clinton on June 4, 1994, allowing "experts" to be hired to run the country in times of "emergency". However, they did not tell you they would hire foreigners, nor that "full time federal employees" would not be eligible for these federal "emergency" positions. Why? Federal employees take an oath to the Constitution and thus would not perform properly in such treasonous activities. Wake up Americans.

**F.E.M.A. (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is about 10 percent "Flood and Mud". The other 90% of their funding goes to "black operations"; not for "disaster relief". This is why they could not respond to Katrina; nor will they be able to respond to any major disaster. Their funds have been spent behind the scenes for "Kontrol" of the American people: To include the termination of "certain groups of people". Prophetically, F.E.M.A.'s treasonous activities are about to be found out when weather-related disasters soon strike the U.S.A. The Congress, which voted the "blank check" money over the last 20 years, will soon realize untold billions were spent for something besides disaster relief for you and me. Are you "smelling the coffee" yet?

Harry Belafonte has figured something out which you have not. I am not a great fan of Harry Belafonte as he is somewhat "liberal". However, his recent statements about the Department of Homeland Security (D.H.S.) are correct.

As a retired Joint Chiefs of Staff Action Officer who has done extensive research in the operations of the **Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) over the past 14 years, I can assure you that Belafonte's remarks are valid.

Moreover, behind the "scenes" daily presented by N.B.C., C.N.N., A.B.C., A.P., ad nauseam (which feed us with cleverly propagated lies), F.E.M.A. and the D.H.S. are working hand in hand with the "shadow government" to destroy our "life, iberty and the pursuit of happiness". Taking those rights/hopes is the covert plan of the New World Order. Be advised: Born again Believers in Jesus Christ, and all Jews, are in now imminent danger in the UNITED STATES.

In the name of a "war on terror" the "shadow government", which includes operatives within (and without) D.H.S. and F.E.M.A., are working feverishly to execute "events" which will seem plausible, but which will lead to draconian laws being passed, such as the Patriot Acts. These laws were the result of the "scenario" cleverly executed against us on September 11, 2001. Another "attack" will most likely guarantee their extension by a "scared Congress".

The American people are so dumbed-down that they will believe any cock and bull story they hear on T.V. An example is the 1996 T.V. report by Tom Brokaw, wherein he stated at 6:30 p.m. that "...Twenty-five tons of high nitrate (bomb grade) fertilizer had been stolen from the farmer's coop in BRUCETON MILLS, WEST VIRGINIA".

The immediate FEAR mongering mindset they wanted to inject into the U.S. public is that there are at least 25 tons of bombs now hidden in the U.S.A. --- Oh, my goodness, Heaven help us, it is going to be the annihilation of our kids and wives.

Just like OKLAHOMA CITY in 1995. Folks, this is the "Hegelian Dialectic process" in action wherein the New World Order propaganda and "black operations" systems dupe and enslave us all.

Nevertheless, an A.N.F.O. [fertilizer-fuel oil] bomb will NOT cut reinforced concrete past 23 feet. So testified General Benton K. Partin, <u>a Defense Department Directed Energy Weapons Designer/Engineer,</u> before the 2nd OKLAHOMA CITY (county) grand jury; a jury which you NEVER heard about, thanks to a controlled press. The truck bomb was 35 feet from the Murrah Building. There is no way Tim McVeigh, alone, did that damage. The Creator's laws of physics prevent such from happening. To wit, the brisance wave is too slow from 35 feet away to cut reinforced concrete.

Now that you are plumb scared about the OKLAHOMA CITY "bomb" and the 25 tons of fertilizer being stolen, let us progress as your faithful retired J.C.S. Action Officer "inspector" goes to BRUCETON MILLS, WEST VIRGINIA, a few weeks later.

Since WEST VIRGINIA is my beat, I drove the 240 miles and showed the CO-OP employees my three federal I.D. cards. Within minutes two employees admitted it was actually a "book keeping error". No fertilizer was ever stolen.

Folks, this is how they work to scare the daylights out of you. It was all a lie to make you give up your rights, guns, and Bibles; and getting your guns and bibles is their final goal. Your ride to a concentration camp will follow shortly after the people lose their guns. Friend, do not argue with me. It is being planned as I type these very words.

A political assassination they are <u>now planning</u> will bring this to pass.

Maybe you have not yet connected what Belafonte said with what I have written above?

Harry Belafonte may be elderly and liberal but he has put two and two together over the last few years.

To wit, two once-Communist "head hunters": Yevgeni Primakov, ex-K.G.B. boss; and Marcus Wolf, ex-East German Secret Police [S.T.A.S.S.I.] Chief, are working in the employ of Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (D.H.S.).

This is possible due to Executive Order #12919 signed by Bill Clinton on June 4, 1994, allowing "experts" to be hired to run the country in times of "emergency". However, they did not tell you they would hire foreigners, nor that "full time federal employees" would not be eligible for these federal "emergency" positions.

Why? Federal employees take an oath to the Constitution and thus would not perform properly in such treasonous activities. Wake up Americans.

Are you getting the picture yet?

We have a "shadow government" running the country.

Belafonte is right and my Jewish friends should make aliyah to ISRAEL now.

Common Home Security Mistakes That You Can Avoid

Spending time in advance to think about ways to keep your home more secure is a wise investment in time and energy, as what could be more important than the physical safety of you and your family, and the protection of your home? Unfortunately, many often do not give much thought to home security measures and that just simply makes them and their home an appealing target for intruders. Here are some things that you can do to help safe up your home and avoid a home invasion in advance.

One of the most vulnerable times for burglarization is when you leave home for an extended period. It could be for a vacation or business or other matters, but if you will be away for a few days, make sure that your home does not appear to be unoccupied during that time. Neighbors, friends and relatives can be a big help by stopping by and checking on the home for you, picking up your mail and newspapers so they aren't left unattended and pile up outside. When burglars go through a neighborhood to select a home in advance, they are specifically looking for telltale signs of a home that is unoccupied. It means that their chances of breaking in and not being caught are much better. So do all that you can to give the appearance that you are still around even when you are away.

Another bad practice that many have is leaving notes on the front door while they are away, or putting out a blanket email to all of their contacts that says that they will be out of town during a certain period of time, or maybe even leaving a recorded message to that effect on the home answering machine. You should never announce your extended absense to anyone that you don't know very well as this can be a huge home security risk.

It's even a good idea to keep your daily schedule as varied as possible and somewhat of a secret even if you aren't away. Burglars look for clues that will tell them when you usually are not around, and that will be the time they select to break in. If you seem to come and go at random, unpredictable times though, that presents a much higher risk that they can be caught while the burglary is in progress.

Another home security risk presents itself evn when you are home. It has to do with who you allow inside your home. It is important to be careful not to allow entry inside the home to someone that you have not requested in advance. Oftentimes smart burglars can make it seem that they have been sent by the electric company or some other utility to take care of a problem in your home. Once inside they may distract you and steal something valuable, or just look the place over carefully in order to be abale to stage a successful burglary later on. So be sure to know the credentials of every person who enters your home and do not allow entry to anyone who can't prove that they have a good reason for being there.

These simple and efffective daily security precautions can be very effective in preventing burglary in advance.

Home Protection, What your security system may not detect!!

In many cases, most people feel pretty secure with a basic/standard home security system, but with today's criminals/robbers its shocking to know how many of them know there way around a security system. There are a couple of small inexpensive things you can do for you and your family that may prevent that awful robbery.

A. Window Alert is home security device that attaches to windows and set off by vibrations if someone tries to break through. Installs easily on any window, There is so many cases that robbers use there window cutting device that can not be detected from a basic Security system. This little window alarm was an essential in saving the millions of lives that were threatened by a robber. B. A Home Security Device such as the Watchdog is ideal for home protection, because it accomplishes what even the best living, breathing watchdog cannot do. Rex's electronic radar eyes, the Electronic Watch Dog Home Security Device can "see" through thick doors, walls and glass. And once his cord is plugged in, he'll stay on duty around the clock, indefinitely. The Electronic Watch Dog Home Security Device can protect homes, apartments, mobile homes, RV's, jewelry stores, factories, warehouses, public and private buildings of virtually every kind. For example, most apartment complexes do not have a security system in the apartment units. You only go in good faith that the apartment is safe. Rex, the electronic watch dog, what an easy solution to cure a robbery scare.

* Barking gets louder and more frequent as the intruder gets closer. * Switches from the watchdog to the tranquil sounds of nature with the simple switch of a button. * Variable distance sensitivity (up to 30') as well as volume control. * Supplements your regular home security system by detecting robbers before they attempt to break into your home.

C. A Nightmare Situation There are preventive solutions!!! 1. The Big Jammer is a home security device that is a strong 20 gauge steel adjustable door brace that installs easily under door knobs and provides added security. Adjusts easily to fit most hinged doors. End caps can be removed to allow for use on sliding glass doors as well. Clean, baked enamel finish makes it attractive for in-house use. 2. The base of the alarm is bolted to door or window frame, the actuator is connected to the window or door. The alarm is activated by opening the door or window. Great for any door particularly those hard to protect sliding glass doors.
