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.
