I live in a small town that does have some issues. Recently my truck has been keyed repeatedly. Last night it was parked in my locked yard and was still keyed. So I am now thinking I need a camera. I have been looking on line but have no clue where to begin. I saw companies that have a cheaper fee if you putting in the equipment yourself but I’m not sure how to do it all or how to set up cables for a camera. The basics, my house has two doors, four windows people could probably crawl through and five windows that I don’t think they could make it through. Their small and mostly high off the ground. I have a basement with only outside access with a small door that is chained shut. I don’t have a home telephone and the internet service in town is not very reliable. I don’t have the desire to monitor my home online while I’m gone, but I do want it to record in case there is some damage to my truck. My yard is enclosed with a chain link fence that I do lock. I also already have a pit bull that is very scary but that didn’t stop my truck from being keyed. My area is very well lit and no scrubs or anything to get in the way. The last person I ever had a problem with was years ago and I have no idea who would be keying my truck. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks.

I’m setting it off in a medium sized apartment with a smoke alarm that I cannot control.

Who is the best company to go with. I want to know who and why you chose the company that you use. Please be detailed, but you don’t have to go crazy with details. What accessory options do you have, and recommend? Basically, I am looking into getting one, I also have a building that would be hooked into the works.

Thank you. 10 points will be awarded
well, it is not becaue I am trying to save on my insurance, it is because I am not home a lot, and I would feel better at least having some eyes of some sort watching my place.

My budget is alright. Im not rich, but I am above average.

I live in a single family house which I am buying, and I have a building that is about 65 feet from my house, my shop which will also be added in.

I live in a good area, one of the better areas in NC to live in. USA

What I have that is worth protecting, is simply my house. household stuff.

to protect against fire and theft.

There will be no wires showing, that would eliminate the purpose of having it in my opinion.

How can a grown woman develop security for herself? I have always been an insecure person, but a long bad marriage left me with very deep-seated emotional insecurities after cheating constantly, name calling, hitting, etc…

No matter how many times I am told that I am loved and wanted, I NEVER feel secure unless it’s that few minutes of being held and loved. I always feel that the rug is going to be pulled out from under me.

What do they teach in counseling to develop security within yourself? Is this a common fear? How do other people deal with constant insecurity and the feeling that your world might come crashing down at any time?

what i want is to protect my wireless network so people like my neighbors cant view my computer files from their computers, or connect to my internet if they didnt have any.

such as guns like m16’s or w.e or side arms or gernades ps: what equipment do they use?

they hurt my ears.

My home has recently been broken into twice in the last 2 weeks but nothing was taken. The first time it happened the only reason I knew was because my dog was outside and the 2nd time it happened while I was acually at home. My one vehicle is broke down and sitting at work and so I’m sure that who ever it was thought I was gone because my car was not there. The thing of it is I think it’s acually my neighbor because other people have said that they have caught her in their house. I want to try and video tape her (assuming it’s her) but need some advice on an inexpensive way to do it. Who ever it is comes through the patio door and all I need to do is put a marble in the door so that if the door is opened the marble will be moved and I know someones been in my house. I initially looked at buying some type of motion activated camera but can not afford that - Please does anyone have any ideas on how I can catch this person

I checked out this place. It is the best so far that I’ve seen for Wireless Home Security Systems. http://www.home-security-stores.com/ .
Are there others ?

Thanks !

My husband and I have cell phones and really don’t want to get a home phone. Do you have to have a home phone line to have a security alarm for my house? If you don’t have to have one, do you know an alarm company that will operate with just having our cell phones?

im looking for a simple do it yourself security system. im wanting 4 motion detectors the keypad and the system that calls the programed phone numbers when the system is triggered.i seen some on ebay but their cheap trash! i fell for it and bought one and its crap . im sending it back. i dont want a companies monitoring service tho. just a system that will inform me if anything goes down. any one know where i can find one inexpensive?
and please dont tell me to get a dog im not gonna leave a dog at my place of business all night by itself

So in college dormitories, we have fire alarms (building-wide) and then smoke detectors in individual rooms. Obviously, the smoke detectors go off when they detect smoke. Do the fire alarms go off automatically, or only if someone pulls it? I notice they don’t always go off when smoke detectors do.

This is a deadly combination, should Janet and obama be more concerned with border issues because of this?

Secret Army Report: Drug Cartels, Terrorists Join Forces to Infiltrate U.S.

Friday, June 5, 2009 6:53 PM

By: Nat Helms

A secret intelligence mission recently conducted along the southern border of the United States found that drug cartels are teaming with terrorists to exploit the numerous vulnerabilities along the sparsely defended 2,000-mile Mexican border.

The mission, dubbed Operation Red Zone was conducted in February and March by the Army’s Asymmetrical Warfare Group (AWG). The clandestine intelligence gathering organization is a 350-member “special mission unit” that works to “identify critical threats and enemy and friendly vulnerabilities through global first-hand observations,” the Army says.

The group is based at Ft. Meade, Maryland, also home to the National Security Agency.

Red Zone investigators discovered numerous alien smuggling and drug trafficking operations along the border. Perpetrators are using “maritime surface craft, semi-submersible watercraft, ultra-light aircraft and possess the capability [to] utilize other potential aerial infiltration techniques to circumvent ground border protection capabilities,” according to Asymmetric Observations Along the U.S.- Mexican Border released May 14 by the Army to federal and state law enforcement agencies.

“The AWG served as observers to advise the Border Patrol, Coast Guard and local law enforcement. During the operation AWG personnel were not authorized to enter Mexican territory and none were armed,” Donald Cicotte, spokesman for the AWG at Ft. Meade tells Newsmax.

After the mission was completed, AWG personnel prepared a classified report for the Department of Defense. A “cleansed” version, like the one viewed by Newsmax, was sent to civilian law enforcement agencies

“Obviously we don’t want to lose control of this [report,]” CiCotte adds. “We obviously don’t want to tell the bad guys what we know.”

Operating behind the scenes on the project was Joint Task Force – North (JTF-N), a joint-service command headed by Army Brig. Gen. Sean B. McFarland. The 180-member task force helps local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies plan and coordinate activities to thwart drug cartels, human smugglers, and other emerging threats, JTF-N spokesman Armando Carrasco tells Newsmax.

In this instance the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the San Diego area requested assistance identifying new threats and the AWG was recruited, he said.

“We don’t have any resources of our own. We don’t have heavy equipment or helicopters. For instance we can’t call up an engineer battalion to build a road. We solicit units from all the services equipped with what we need and asked them for help,” Carrasco said. “We have three JAG attorneys that ensure we are legally authorized to perform the mission. The lawyers spell out in briefings to each unit that they cannot be deployed in a law enforcement role.”

Militarty theorists define assymetrical threats as strategies and tactics used by ill-equipped terrorists and criminals to circumvent sophisticated defenses of more powerful governments. Common examples include clandestine cross-border infiltration, smuggling, and defeating sophisticated electronics and optical sensors with simple counter-measures.

During the operation, the AWG worked with the Department of Homeland Security and state and local law enforcement in the San Diego area to “observe asymmetric infiltration operations and emerging asymmetric threats.”

The Army investigators discovered that drug traffickers and smugglers are employing “exceptional surveillance and counter-surveillance capabilities, robust technical communications capabilities as well as effective marking and signaling techniques to facilitate smuggling of illegal personnel and illicit cargo into the United States,” the report says.

Some of the aliens are suspected of being terrorists from Middle Eastern countries sneaking into the country by employing drug smugglers skilled in transporting human cargo into the United States, the report adds.

Few of the tactics employed by the border busters appear sinister at first glance. In one example, the AWG reported seeing a woman setting up a road-side tamale stand on the south-side of the primary border fence. Upon investigation it was found that her car was parked pointing toward “known fence breach points” as a signal to border jumpers.

Other seemingly innocent activities observed by the intelligence operatives revealed drug trafficking and “alien smuggling spotters” using taxis and other legitimate businesses located on the U.S. side of the border to monitor and report Border Patrol activities to criminals who pay them with drug proceeds.

There is more to the story but too long to post who

I just moved into a new house in Atlanta, GA and want to get a security system installed in my house. I don’t want to get a land line if I can help it, so I’d like to get one that is capable of wireless monitoring. I’d also like to pay less than the per month that so many companies advertise, but I don’t want to pay a ton to have it installed, either. And researching this is driving me crazy because no one will just give me a straight answer on what their systems cost to install and monitor! They all want to send out a "representative" (aka, salesperson) to "evaluate my home security needs" (aka, pressure me to sign a contract and spend lots of money). I know what I need, I just want to find out who can provide it and for how much! I cannot take time off work to wait for some stranger to come walk through my house and tell me what I need. Does anyone know of a security company serving Atlanta that offers good service at reasonable prices without playing games?

My opinion is it because you are letting the government, who probably proposed to take your liberties away, to have the power over you and expose yourself to an even greater threat: The authority in your own country.

But why does it really happen?

So, I can’t seem to fine the number for my home security system customer service. I was wondering if they keep a log of when it is activated/deactivated. I was out of town this past weekend and I think my housesitter has been doing more than just watering the plants every other day..

I moved into a new home that has an existing security system. It was wired by ADT, but since it’s already installed I was wondering if I have to use them to monitor my security system or can I go with someone else without having to replace my equipment?

it seems to be coming from the stove.
it is an old fashioned one. with the clock like old school on the stove top. like jutting out on the left side.
it seems like the beeping is coming from there.
what is it? it is not like an alarm. more like an electronic bird chirp.

I think my wife may have been at a bookstore with another man–may I review the surveillance video of the bookstore

Here are a few ways to identify potential scams:

* Overseas or out-of-town buyer
* Offer involves a cashier’s check, money

order, or wire transfer
* Offer involves an escrow service (BidPay,

Squaretrade, etc.)
* Offer involves buyer’s own personal shipping

service or personal FedEx account

How to protect yourself:

* Deal with local buyers only.
* Never accept a check for more than the

purchase price.
* Never agree to refund overpayment via wire

transfer or any other means
* Never give out personal information such as

Social Security or checking account numbers

destroying your stuff when you’re away? I need the dog to be in the apartment when I’m off running errands, because I work from home and I can’t afford to be robbed and lose my livelihood. But if the dog destroys my equipment I am ruined also. So, how do you have a guard dog, but safeguard the property from dog damage?

Our smoke alarms all went off in unison tonight for no apparent reason.. I didnt know they could do that for a false alarm? Anyhow, I am worried that as there wasnt a fire, it was due to carbon monoxide, as one of our alarms is a carbon monoxide detector.
How can I check that monoxide isnt an issue for us? What other things can make a fire alarm go off for no reason?
