SecureShot - When you need to know.
In case you haven't seen the latest, there is a technology that just came out called SecureShot. These are cameras hidden away in such a way that there are no more "tell tale" holes, lights or anything to make them suspicious looking. There are also no more SD cards sticking out the back or suspicious looking out of place jacks. This SecureShot line also has two cameras inside instead of one! The DUALLY automatically and instantly switches from a Sony Super HAD Hi-Res color camera to a Sony Ex-View super low light B&W camera (.0001 Lux) when light levels drop below .5 Lux. The astonishing results are a great color video by day and a great low light video at night!
This ground breaking line of hidden nanny cameras with digital video recorders or (DVR) is security recording made easy and economical. Motion activated real time video or high-resolution "still shots" are recorded on a tiny SD card, housed in a hidden compartment. All recordings are time/date stamped for professional security applications. Each system also includes (2) 1 Gb SD cards!
These cameras are built expertly into more than a dozen different everyday items commonly used in a household or business environment so as not to raise suspicion.
So if you're in the market for a state of the art hidden camera for your nanny, housekeeper, teen spouse, business, office or whatever, SecureShot warrants a second look!

What About Our Schools?
With nearly 1,000 cameras watching our students while they're in school every day, you'd think they are safe, right? WRONG!
If you have kidded yourself into thinking your child is safe, check out http://schoolshooting.org/ and you will see where the 340 shootings since 1992 have occurred.
The majority of the recent shootings are assumed to have been gang related, which is a nightmare in and of itself. What bothers me is the fact that our children, our future generation is forced to pass like cattle through metal detectors and at times be subjected to pat downs. How did we get this far gone? Why is it necessary that every child is required to have an ID tag just to get on the school bus? Some even have radio frequency tags that track their movements in and around school! It seems to me that our school systems are turning into a daily prison for our children!
When you discover that school visitors have to keep visitors inside a "secure vestibule" which is reinforced with bulletproof glass until they are cleared to enter, it seems quite "prison like" to me. When we hear of the ridiculous cases of six year-olds being suspended for bringing a camping utensil to school, it seems like we are taking giant steps backwards in our children's upbringing and education.
What is the answer when hundreds of cameras, metal detectors and security screenings are not enough? Are we forced to surrender our children daily only to wonder and worry whether we will seem them for dinner that same night?
If you're lucky enough to have the option of home school, I would urge you to take advantage of it!

Is Our Country Secure?
When Obama says he plans to "monitor the situation" at the border, how secure does that really make you?
I recently received an email about our Mexican border and how illegals have it down to a science when it comes to getting into our country. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for immigration if it is done LEGALLY! I have no respect for people who can't take the steps, learn the language, embrace our culture, etc. to become a true American citizen.
Now, in this email were photos of the underground tunnels made by previous travelers. It also stated that the coyotes had scouts who would watch the patrols on the US side and give a signal to illegals and drug traffickers for when it was safe to pass.
Now, I'm a little fuzzy on this one. Isn't the US, with all it's billions and advanced technology able to fight against a few scouts with binoculars? What is wrong with this picture? With trip wires, electric fences, hidden cameras, motion detectors and other technological advances, what is the problem? Is it just a lack of man power to patrol and monitor? I suppose there could be a few border patrol agents taking bribes, which is obviously a problem. But are we really not smart enough to fight against invaders on foot?
Yes, there are some serious drug problems in Mexico with all the cartels, and I genuinely feel for them. Of course, the US does have a federal plan committing $700 million to "bolster Mexican law enforcement and crime prevention efforts", so we are making an attempt to help them in their own country. And make no mistake! $700 MILLION is nothing to sneeze at! This federal plan is supposed to go along with the help the United States is already giving Mexico with training, equipment and enhanced intelligence cooperation.
So with all this money and 1,000 troops on the United States/ Mexican border alone, not to mention the other police officers, federal agents and border patrol involved, why is it still so difficult to stop traffic along the border?
Now, I'm not trying to start a political debate or conspiracy theory, but it seems to me that either we have some very lazy border agents, or there is something else going on. It escapes me as to why anyone would want to encourage illegal immigration and bring more crime, drugs, mouths to feed and kids to teach into our already crowded country.
Can someone PLEASE explain to me how and why illegals are still invading the United States?

Electronic Dog?
If you're interested in a quick no-nonsense security device and can't afford an entire system, this Electronic Secure Dog may be the best option for you.
It has been said for years that the best way to scare off a burglar is to have a barking dog. It doesn't even have to be a big dog. The small yappy ones are sometimes the most effective. But if you live in an apartment, this is not always an acceptable option. Wouldn't it be nice to have a watchdog that you didn't have to feed, water or take on walks?
Now you don't have to with the latest Electronic Secure Dog motion detector. Most units are less than a foot tall and require no installation. These units can apparently "see" through any object with their radar to detect any movement outside your building. And the barking is not on a loop, but will gradually get louder and more frequent as a potential invader walks around your house, apartment or office. The "dog" will stop barking if the intruder stops walking and will resume barking when movement is detected again! You can control the volume as well as sensitivity which can usually detect movement up to 20 feet.
For under $100, this could be a valuable device for your home security.

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.
