Put Your Keys Beside Your Bed At Night

Greetings,

Today’s great post comes from my friend Jessica, and I want to thank her for allowing me to use it to help keep others safe. Thanks Jess!

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Doctor’s Office, the checkout girl at the market, everyone you run across. Please feel free to pass this blog post to them. However you can do it, please do. Keep them informed with this very simple tip.

Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get into your house, just press the panic button for your car, providing your car does have an alarm system and you do have the alarm remote.

The alarm will be set off and the horn will continue to sound either until you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator.  Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: it’s a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it.  It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the remote unit.  It works if you park in your driveway or garage.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are that the burglar/rapist won’t stick around….after a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there, and sure enough the criminal won’t want that!

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.

This is something that should really be shared with everyone.  Maybe it could save a life or prevent a sexual assault.

My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn’t hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she’ll know there’s a problem.

P.S…it would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can’t reach a phone.

Audio Version of Burglar Alarm Information

Greetings all,

This weekend as I was going through some folders, I came across an audio
version of How to Select a burglar alarm.

For those folks that are very busy and can’t read all the posts, I thought that
this audio version would be useful.

Feel free to download it to your computer, or your ipod, and forward it to
your friends if you would like to.

Please let me know how you like it, and I can produce more on the different
topics we discuss here.

Hope you enjoy this and find it useful.

Motion Detectors for Your Home Security; part three

Greetings and welcome back for part 3 of Motion
Detectors for the safety and security of your home.

I appreciate you bearing with me for 3 parts. I know
Motion Detectors are not the most exciting topic
to write about, that is why I broke it down into 3 parts.

Let’s wrap this puppy up.

Motion detectors are affordable. In addition, you can combine
motion detectors with hardwire alarm kits; hardwire alarms,
wireless alarm kits, security cameras, etc.

Online you will find clearance on home security, which can
provide you a savings on motion detectors combined with the
home security solution of choice.

Online you will also find contact door and window systems,
door and window alarms, chimes, outdoor sensor lights,
driveway alarms, and more.

In addition, you will find garage alarms, dummy cameras,
siren speakers and strobe lights, smoke/heat detectors,
and more.

Do not forget to add smoke detectors and CO
(Carbon Monoxide) alarms to your home security
package, to achieve the prized protection you deserve.

Remember, if you DO NOT have a hard-wired smoke alarm,
change your batteries every fall & spring.

I recommend doing it when the clocks are adjusted for
Daylights saving time.

All for now, thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

Trapper

Motion Detectors for Home Security; part 2

Greetings again and welcome back to part 2;
Motion Detectors for your Home Security.

The Sharp Shooters designed on infrared technology, supply
detectors that are sensitive to motion. The alarms will not sound
when static, vibration, changes in temperatures occur, or when
light is stray.

The signals work from a digital processor, including ASIC which
reduces false alerts. The advantage of these devices is that you do
not have sensitivity that other devices do. In other words,
the alarm will not sound when dust, bugs, dirt, or changes in the
temperature occur.

Many alarm systems today will detect motion at various ranges on
a db alarm system. In addition, you have the option of programming
security codes, or adjusting sensor heads. When the battery is low,
the units will send you a signal on indicator lights.

The digital encores are controlled by various technology solutions,
which announce motion when detected. Few units have integrated
channels that help to eliminate wiring faults.

Most units today are easy to install, and you have the advantage of
adjusting the units to fit your needs.

Few of the units available today, offer 15m x 15m of pattern
coverage. The temperature is compensated by pulse counts, which
you have the option of selecting. Most units are easy to mount, and
the features provide you trouble free, and quick installation
capabilities. You can also disable or enable LED with few systems.

In addition, you can choose vertical and horizontal patterns, which
you can adjust. The pulse counts may include polarity on a SMD
structure, which filters white lights.

Please join us again shortly for part three where will will wrap
up our discussion of Motion Detectors.

Sincerely,

Trapper

Motion Detectors for Home Safety; part 1

Greetings,

The next couple of posts we will deal with Motion Detectors.

Choosing motion detectors are easy when you know what is
available. In addition, if you know what you want, it is easy to
purchase your choice of motion detectors.

First, you must decide what the detectors can do for you.

Infrared detectors are available, which work as temperature gauges.
The units are engineered to deliver home security in zones. Some
units offer more than others do, in that the units provide full
coverage.

In addition, the units today are designed to guard against
false alarms. Security devices, such as the motion detectors provide
easy mount, easy installation, and a selection of pulse counts.
You receive white light security, sleeves, distance lens range, and
interior cable ducts, which provide amble space for wiring.

The ZoDIAC models are available, which are designed to deliver
comprehensive performance against false alarm. The compact units
are easy to maintain, and offer versatile swivels on an optimal
mounting platform, such as walls or ceilings.

Additional home security devices include the CoMET models. The
units work on reliable technology-based platforms. The home
security devices work by detecting environmental changes that
could affect your home. The coverage for few units reaches up to
40 feet, which provides you compensation against temperature.

In addition, you get the best with the pet immune options. Pulse
counts, protection against white light, LED prism, etc, are just a
few additions added to today’s home security-motion detectors.

Please revisit us soon for part two, you don’t want to miss that
do you?

How to select a burglar alarm

Greetings,

Here’s the question of the day.

Do you have a home security system or burglar alarm?

If you do, GREAT! If not, WHY?

A home security system is like an electronic eye looking
out over your house while you are away.

Please take a quick read at this post and discover why
you really should have one.
Burglars dislike noise – it attracts attention. A barking
dog is a good deterrent in preventing burglaries. However,
never totally depend on a watch dog. Some professional
burglars have been known to carry delectable “dog snacks”
in their pockets and with a full stomach, some watch dogs
make friends easily and forget their purpose of guarding
the premises. The most reliable safeguard to protect your
home and possessions is a reliable alarm.

Many types of burglar alarms can be obtained for residential
use. It is advisable, however, that basic hardware security
measures be followed first.

If additional security is desired, the following
recommendations could be helpful:

1. Have a home demonstration with the alarm done in your
home, not at their office.

2. An audible alarm is recommended over silent alarms for
residential use in order to first – protect persons and
secondly – property.

A RELIABLE ALARM SHOULD INCLUDE:

A. A battery-powered fail-safe backup.

B. A rearming capability and siren timer shut-off.

C. Read-out ability to check working system.

D. Siren sounding device that can be installed on exterior
of home to alert neighbors of possible intrusion.

When shopping for an alarm system, please take this list with you.

SECONDARY BARRIER

If the value of small personal items warrants protection, a
secondary barrier is an additional safeguard. On a hinging
closet door, install a 1″ deadbolt lock. Store your jewelry,
furs, cameras, guns, silverware and other valuables behind
this barrier. Be sure to “pin” the hinges and disguise the
door as best as possible.

For any questions concerning the above article, please feel free to
contact me.
