This is where we start again in Front door security

After spending years looking into a tiny peephole trying to identify who or what was outside the door, I finally found some of the most sophisticated and useful peepholes in the market today. Now I realize that the first and best barrier to avoid a home invasion is to have a good quality peephole.

This is not just my own imagination, It’s the human nature even the kids

 

Not just the children, The most powerful man in the world also cannot refuse to peep.

 

The Digital Peephole viewer gives you a larger LCD behind the door

The Peephole viewer solves the various heights of every members of the whole family. Please see the Peephole viewer user comments on Amazon.com

“I’m almost 6 foot and my wife is just over 5 foot. My daughter is my height and my son is taller at 6′ 2”. So positioning a peephole for all to use can be challenging. Even at “recommend height” a standard peephole is too high up for my wife and much of her family.

This device solves this problem amazingly well!

Pros:
Great image!
Fantastic Zoom!
Easy for all heights to see!

Cons:
OK, there really are none, at least for us.
But an improvement might be if this peephole viewer could take snapshots to an SD card. After all the zoom is strong enough to clearly read the license plate numbers from my neighbors across the street. Taking snapshots might be a nice security enhancement to a device like this.” by Steven Hubbard

Home security 101 in the age of Internet of Things

As posted in this ” Home security 101_fake cameas & stickers? ” , Many people are keen to realize the products mentioned.

Policy of Deterrence is the guideline for the home security setup and most of the time it works at the minimum cost of installation, operation and maintenance.

The recommended products are:

(1) alarms system stickers

(2) Motion sensor light ( LED is more power saving and more durable than traditional halogen garage light

traditional halogen motion sensor light

Halogen light is a perfect light source in freezing temperature ( to melt the snow on the light cover in cold area). The drawback is of course the power consumption ( >250W) and the bulb life.

The LED motion sensor light is on the other hand very power efficient( 3-30W). The above LED one, however, is using many LED bulbs which means you may have the reliability concern.( The light will be off if one of the LED bulbs is out of order )

This LED light is better since adopting only one LED bulb ( chip). The life cycle is much longer if it’s a well designed in heat dissipation which means you have to pick up the well known brand )

The motion sensor light is good both for lighting and warning

(3) “Blinking” fake security camera, Blinking is the key here to make your dummy cameras smarter

Make sure to keep the cable visible since most of the burglars still assume the power plug or video signal cable is necessary.

Home Security system needs to be Internet of Things?

“I hate that term,” said CEO Tony Fadell of the nest at the tech-centric conference in the early of June, 2014.

“The ‘Internet of things’ is a term of for this audience. It’s not a term for consumers. People don’t buy ‘things’…they buy an application or they buy a product for a certain, specific purpose.” said Tony.

Back to our home security topic, The Internet of “Cameras” are the must?

So the discussion should be ” Do you really need to look at your house intruder thru IP cameras, saying “freeze” and wait another 15-30 min for the cops  busting the best guys after dialing 911?” no, the suspects are long away since the Burglars spend an average time of 8 to 12 min in your home.

This simply tells you to visualize the suspect on the spot is not bad but to capture and keep the unsmashed photos of the suspect is significant.

If the ordinary IP cameras or CCTV are easily noticed and vulnerable, Something hidden, stealth or camouflage are supposed to be your target cameras if the “policy of deterrence” fails.

Home security 101_Fake cameras & Stickers?

It’s not uncommon to have received words from our next door neighbor that someone might have tried to open her front door last night (though she also leaves the possibility she left it open). In either case, People live in a neighborhood where theft does occur often enough that it’s a worry (bikes were recently swiped, locks and all, from our neighbor’s front porch). What to do when you’re on a budget and want to compliment a good deadbolt? Fake security cameras might be an option…

Security cameras tend to be noticed and smashed

People tend to notice security cameras, so are the potential burglars even if placed out of the way. Not that long ago, while testing several surveillance cameras, our neighbors and friends immediately noticed the one camera we installed on our second floor window pointing down at our front entry. Even when it was not on, people seemed to act differently just knowing it was there (the funny thing was watching people waving at it when we knew it was off and completely unplugged).

Motion sensor “Lights” is another budget home security gadget

Why not take advantage of that psychological effect ( stickers of the alarm system or dummy cameras) of surveillance and protect yourself with a intentionally noticeable security camera. You can buy not only fake models, but actual replicas from security camera manufacturers well-known.

The “Stickers” are useful in home security

Your expensive IP cams investment are totally useless after the power cut of the intruder

The statistic shows “Power grid cut” or “Alarms by-passing” are the most common ways for ordinary burglars. The worst part is you can simply do nothing about it. Some house owners are also expecting there will be the “last” image coming in their smartphone. The sad truth is there will be no WiFi, no routers after the power cut. Nothing being recorded

Things your IP camera vendors won’t tell you–just smashed before the d day

Power Cut is the A bomb for your high priced security system and the demise of the total defense.

Some may disagree due to these power off UPS— Uninterruptible Power Supply. The intruder is far from cutting my grid. I still have the alternative, back up! see who’s your daddy now?

Well, “Smash” everywhere is the possible actions by burglar, What you might do?

 

 

Hidden surveillance camera is smart idea, The big issue is the wiring of the power supply–too obvious to see

The true WireFree and PostFree security camera if your fake camera fails

The MAC 200 from Brinno is one the feasible hidden surveillance cameras you may select—14 months of battery life and Instant Time lapse video for PostFree and Fast play back.

 

They civilize left, and they civilize right, until nothing is left, and nothing is right. 

Introducing the non civilized Rock camera

Without or With camouflage of the MAC200

Here comes the budget home security 101 : Most of them is about the policy of deterrence (No.1 to No.3)

1. Alarm system stickers
2. Motion sensor lights
3. Fake camera (blinking)
4. Hidden surveillance camera (long lasting battery powered security camera)

The Hidden surveillance camera might be the only security camera that survives under harsh conditions.
