Don’t Fall Victim to a Violent Crime – Follow These Simple Residential Security Tips

By Brian on Friday, September 30th, 2011 | No Comments

By John R. Stewart

In recent years, security has become a very real concern and residential security even more so with the increase of violent crimes like home invasions. However, you do not have to be a victim of a violent crime such as a home invasion if you just follow a few simple rules and invest in a little bit of security technology. Another thing to realize about securing your home is that it dies not have to be expensive either. Many residential security products on the market are very affordable and in some cases, you can even install them yourselves although a professional installation may be preferred.

Perhaps the most common form of residential security technology that people use is door locks. With locks, you have several different options to choose from that you can install or have a residential locksmith install on your doors. To cut costs you may want to consider having the existing locks re-keyed, which will give you the peace of mind that not even the former residents will have a working key. You may want to have all of the locks in your home replaced, if you do then consider double-key deadbolts and you may even want to consider locks that will only recognize the fingerprints of your family.

Some people may really want to take a more serious approach to secure their home against burglaries, and if you are one of these people, then you may want to consider installing these additional items on your home. Heavy solid wood or steel doors will help to provide a barrier that will deter an aggressive burglar. Shatterproof windows are another way to deter home invaders from entering your home, and some of these windows will take repeated hits from baseball bats and crowbars without breaking. These two items provide excellent protection when they are installed properly.

Of course, if you are serious about keeping your family safe in your home then you should seriously consider having an alarm system installed in your home. Alarm systems do not have to be very expensive, and many residential security services that offer alarm systems installed at an affordable price. If you subscribe to a security company’s monitoring service they, will often times install the alarm system at a little or no cost to you. There are different levels of coverage with an alarm system so be sure to purchase a system that covers all exterior windows and doors.

Another way to secure your home and that most people never really think about is with your property’s landscaping and this type of security is very easy to do. For starters, you may want to consider keeping your front yard clear of any obstructions. Not only will your yard be easier to maintain, but you will have a clear view of the front of your property and see anyone that approaches your home from that direction. Plant shrubbery in front of your windows and preferably shrubbery that looks nice but offers a natural deterrent like a Bougainvillea, which has thorns that will hurt a would be burglar.

How To Set Up A Wireless Camera Security System

How To Set Up A Wireless Camera Security System

Types and Uses of Wireless Camera

Wireless cameras have become increasingly prevalent in today’s society, and are used for a variety of purposes. This article serves to give you a basic overview of the different types of wireless camera available, and how they are used.

Security Wireless Camera

An outdoor wireless security camera can be used in a home security system, indoors and outdoors. Wireless cameras come in all shapes and sizes. Some types are waterproof and can be hidden away in outdoor plants or other nooks and crannies. There are also wireless video cameras with night vision.

One advantage of using a wireless camera for outdoor security is that one does not need to do extensive preparatory setups or wiring. If you decide you would like to have your camera in a different location, you simply move it over.

A wireless security camera is also good for temporary uses. For example, if you want to set the device up in a certain location for a specific event or time period, it is easy to do so, and to then move it later.

Spy Camera

A spy cam is just what the name says – a hidden wireless camera used to spy on people. Modern forms and uses of spy cams seem to be becoming more and more creative. They can be incorporated into pens, can be as small as a USB flash key, disguised in glasses, or simply so tiny that it is easy to conceal them within clothing. Some spy cameras also come with tiny microphones and listening/recording devices. You can even find backpacks with a hidden camera installed in them (this might be useful in case you want to keep close watch on whomever is hiking behind you.)

A Nanny Cam

Surveillance cameras can be used by parents to keep an eye on their children’s babysitters (to make sure they don’t abuse the children, or raid the fridge too often), or they can be used by nannies to keep an eye on the children themselves. They can also be used to watch over pets from afar or from another room. The use of wireless cameras can get pretty innovative too – one recent example I saw was a wireless camera disguised in an air-freshener. In some cases, these wireless cameras come with portable hand-held monitors so that you can always have an eye on your child as you move through the house.

Some types of wireless nanny cameras (or surveillance cameras) display the image on a cell phone (if compatible), PDA, Internet web browser, or a standard video display. Some cameras are even equipped with heat sensors which will alert you by email any time someone enters a room.

These cameras also have remote control functions which allow you to change their position and pan to get a new view, from wherever you are.

Wired Home Security

Wired Home Security
Wired network security?

yea…i have a wired home network, and i was wondering what are some programs or steps i should take to enforce security on my network. I already have virus software on all of the pc’s is that good enough or what other things should i have? Thanks

If you have set up a network at home, and you have the machines monitored, there are three suggestions I have:

1. Have a network duplicate set up to be able to immediately restart if your network is attacked. In other words, it is an exact replica of your network, with all current machine information on the server, but that is discrete from the net, and cannot be attacked. (When in doubt wipe it out….launch the secondary system)

2. Install some variety of firewall program. That means that in addition to the security of each machine, the network itself limits where people can go and what types of activities they can use the computers for.
Firewall programs are fairly cheap and user friendly and easy to set up from your server machine.

3. Remember that ANY activity on ANY computer on your network is a potential threat to the entire network, so teach your users about network rules and security.

If there are any doubts, try running a few programs in tandem to make sure any insidious threats are removed even if one system doesn’t catch it.

For example, using a combination of Norton Confidential, Norton Antivirus, SpyBot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware may cover a good number of the viruses and security attacks you may encounter, and though redundant, they are all good. Not to mention that the last two are free.

Another side of this can involved “ghosting” your machines, so that if any one of them is infected, you can simply disconnect it, wipe the drive and reinstall it on your network, so make sure you have a ghost image of what you want your pcs to ahve, and then make sure your users back up their data regularly.
