Want a completely invisible hidden camera? Try the Eyeball Implanted Hidden Camera! Well, this method may be a little extreme for the sane...but it's definitely an eye-catching idea. Okay, bad pun.
But seriously, this new technology for hidden cameras has been developed for the blind. It involves a procedure in which doctors implant a micro-camera directly into the eyeball in an attempt to return sight to people with damaged or no vision. While this technology to restore sight was developed some time ago; the wiring and charging of these cameras was too bulky for a realistic application.
Now, however, a nerve-stimulating chip can be implanted at the back of the eye, charging wirelessly and communicating directly to the camera inside the lens of the eye itself. This produces a totally covert electronic vision system.
In stumbling across this latest advancement, I can't help but wonder how long it will take a hacker to tap into that video feed and see everythig the user is seeing. One person's nightmare is a hacker's dream.
Think your $2,000 digital Canon was expensive? Well, consider yourself lucky you got away that easy, because this eyeball hidden camera is most likely the most expensive hidden camera out there!
And while 95% of the population will never need such and advanced device in order to see, I am thankful for the existence of that technology for the percentage that will.

The Latest in Choosing a Gun Safe
When is the last time you stopped to really consider what you would do if you heard an intruder in your home. Be it the middle of the night or during the day, it is wise to have a plan of action to defend your home.
If you have guns, an ideal place for them is a gun safe. But what if that intruder comes to visit? Are you going to creep out of bed in the middle of the night only to find that you can see the keypad or combination lock on that safe? Time is of the essence when dealing with seasoned criminals, so it is worth your while to have a gun safe you can open quickly.
I was a huge fan of the TV show Bionic Woman. The thought of that type of technology is astounding. Well, we are reaching that age of technology today. There is now a biometric gun safe that will scan your fingerprint and open immediately! The nice thing about it is that more than one fingerprint can be programmed into these "bio" safes, so you, your wife, and any grown children can have access to your safe at any given moment without delay. This option can be crucial when it comes to protecting your home; if caught unawares, you may not get the chance to defend your family.
With the option of this biometric safe, it is no longer necessary to keep it on a high shelf out of reach from your children. You can keep the safe near your bed or even under it for quick access in the night. It is the best option for keeping your guns and ammunition completely safe from your children or anyone else who might have an interest in them. While I'm not a fan of violence, I am in favor of doing what is necessary to protect my family first and home second. When push comes to shove, I do believe I would act accordingly and defend what is precious to me.
How ready are you?

How Secure is Your Front Door?
So, how secure do you think your front door is? Would it worry you to know that the front door is the most likely place a thief will attempt entry?
Okay, so you have smart key deadbolts, key codes, chain locks, peep holes and more, great! But with today's technology quickly advancing, we have been bombarded with bump keys. I'm sure you've all seen them used on cop or paramedic Tv shows where the user gets in the house in seconds. Did you ever stop to think this type of key can be used on all of your "high dollar" locks? Scary thought!
If you are inside your home, the best lock for you to install is a one-sided deadbolt. They are also called half-deadbolts or single sided. What this means is that you, being inside the house can lock the deadbolt, but there is no lock or entry point for this deadbolt on the outside of the door. So, none of the latest bump keys or drilling locks or any other type of intrusive tactics will work on this deadbolt. Of course, you won't have a key to it and will not be able to lock these deadbolts when you're away, but it will definitely ensure your safety when you are home.
If you install one of these single sided deadbolts on every exterior door, you will have taken a simple step in giving yourself peace of mind in your home.

Wow! Talk about smart!
Our latest technology is advancing in leaps and bounds!
So you think remote viewing from your new DVR is cool? Try an entire network for your home that allows you to completely control your home remotely! With your cell phone you can now view your security camera's current video, adjust the temperature on your thermostat, turn on or off almost anything in your house, or even preheat your oven for dinner!
These new home control networking systems are the next step up in convenience. In fact, new home constructions are adding the necessary elements to new buildings to accommodate this exciting development.
Basically, there are three major companies that are coming out with this new technology: Z-Wave Alliance, ZigBee and Insteon. What they've done is take the everyday item such as a thermostat, keyed entry, garage door, etc. and put their mark on it. What this mark means is that no matter who manufactures it (and at present there are over 150 different manufacturers involved), every product bearing it will be compatible with each other.
In computer terms, it would make Windows and Linux compatible.
So, say you have a washing machine made by LG, a thermostat made by Honeywell, a garage door by Raynor, a Schlage keyless entry, and a security camera with dvr, these products will all work together on the same home network accessed by your cell phone! You won't even have to program it!
These networks work on low-power, low speed digital radio waves and can even be routed through your home's existing AC power wires!
The great part of it is, it will save you money in the long run. Think about it.
When you leave the house in the morning, you turn the AC up to 80. Half and hour before you get home, you get on your cell phone and tell your thermostat to turn on and get the house temperature down to 75 by the time you get home!
Not to mention, if you're watching your security cameras at the office and see something suspicious, you can start turning on lights, which in most cases will scare off a burglar. You can even alert a neighbor and have them check your house. Worst case scenario...you can call the police immediately and possibly nab the intruder in the act. It may mean a window broken, but they won't run off with your great-grandmother's antique pearl ring or the big screen TV.
