The following story is a scary reminder of the importance of  planning the best in home self defense

I heard a chilling story yesterday that I feel compelled to share with you.  A man and his wife had recently adopted a dog.  When the man left one morning, his wife was in the shower, and she was surprised to hear the dog start barking.

Loud, non-stop barking.  She hadn’t heard the dog bark in the 2 weeks they had owned it.  So she put on a bath robe and went out to find the dog standing by the front door, still barking.

She looked out the window, and then opened up the door but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.  The dog kept barking, and the woman got a sudden chill down her spine.

She knew that something was wrong, but didn’t know what to do.  So she went to her room, locked the door, and dialed 911.  After explaining her dog’s strange behavior and her location, she was told: “Get out of the house. . .Get out as fast as you can.”  And then the terrified woman understood.  The dog wasn’t barking at the front door, he was barking at the closet next to the front door.

Because hiding inside of that closet was a man with bad intentions who had broken into 13 other homes in the neighborhood in the last week.

I am happy to report the woman made it out alive.  This incident has changed the woman’s life forever.  She has been scared into taking control of her personal protection.  She recently took a self defense class because she refuses to feel that helpless feeling again. The Taser C2 is a non-lethal alternative to a handgun and is just as effective. The best in home self defense begins with being prepared and having a plan of action in mind.

She knows that man could have overpowered her, and she knows it’s her responsibility to do something about it.  Friend, this story brings up something important.  You will never regret responsible preparation.  You will never regret being ready, just in case.

Again, the importance of  preparation can’t be over emphasized for the best in home self defense.

Motion Alert Alarm with DVR Is Alternative to Expensive Security Systems

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

The recording of the violent attack took place in St. Louis, Mo and was captured by an in store surveillance camera. Small retail shops and business can install inexpensive security cameras to protect both their employees and personal property as one small shop owner discovered…

Marcy poured everything she had into her little gift shop.  She rented a little building at the edge of a trendy neighborhood and converted the upstairs into a small apartment for herself.

Although she wished she had more money in her budget for a more elaborate security system, Marcy figured she’s be able to reinvest some of the profits from her business into a high-tech solution pretty quickly.

She researched her options online and selected a  motion alert alarm with Built-In DVR.

For a fraction of the cost of a hard-wired security system, Marcy installed wireless Motion Alert Alarms with Built-In DVR throughout the building.  Each one includes a keypad that Marcy could use to switch between a chime, which would help her keep track of customers moving through the store, to an alarm, which would sound if someone attempted to sneak into her upstairs living space.  She installed each one of them herself and required no previous experience. The Do-It-Yourself instructions are very easy to follow.

A few days after her grand opening, traffic in the store evened out a little bit, but kept Marcy pretty busy.  Every time a new customer would enter the shop, the Motion Alert Alarm DVR at the front door would welcome them with a discreet chime. Marcy could glance up from whatever she was doing to welcome her guests.  Even if she were helping someone else, she would notice the chime from the back room, which sounded when her second Motion Alert Alarm DVR observed someone checking out Marcy’s higher priced gifts.

One afternoon, a few of the neighborhood kids stopped in after school.  Marcy wondered why kids would be interested in her shop, but hoped they’d at least tell their parents about it.  When one of the kids started asking lots and lots of questions, Marcy wondered if she was being set up.

Sure enough, she heard the wail from the Motion Alert Alarm with DVR she installed by her apartment.  A second later, a petrified teenager bolted down the stairs out the door.  His buddies hustled after him.   Not only did the Motion Alert Alarm DVR prevent them from stealing any of her personal belongings, but she was sure that word would get out that her shop was off limits to thieves.

“Now,” she thought, “I can take some of the money I was going to spend on upgrading that security system and hire myself an assistant!

Personal Protection For Students At College

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

The following student discovered the hard way the value of personal protection for students at college…

I was full of excitement when I began my university education and rented a place of my own.  However, the optimism had been short-lived because I discovered a delinquent rummaging through my valuables.  Before I could seek assist, I was attacked and was left with a significant injury to my arm.

I spoke to my parents over the phone to let them know what had happened.  Upon hearing my story, they suggested searching online for self defense devices that can provide personal protection for students.

With nothing to lose, I began the item search immediately.  I came across a Web site where I found all-in package for student safety known as SafeFamilyLife Extreme college survival Kit.

The kit contains protective devices like pepper sprays that are in a position to provide perfect personal protection for students.  A pepper spray can disarm delinquents in seconds without serious damage since it is a non-lethal weapon. Lawbreakers will experience intense burning in their eyes as well as skin instantly after being blasted with pepper spray and I can effortlessly run for assist while the thug is incapacitated.  I have no doubt that the 2 oz. pepper spray with wall mount, lipstick pepper spray, 1/2 oz. pepper spray with visor clipo, and 1/2 oz. pepper spray with keychain within the kit will be a great assist when facing criminals.

Moreover, there was a door stop alarm within the SafeFamilyLife Extreme College Survival Kit.  The device can help me secure my location from burglars.  It can sound off a deafening alarm when there’s  forced entry, sufficient to send me a signal.  The kit had a book diversion safe, which I can use to hide my costly possessions.

There are other other protective devices in the kit that may warrant personal protection for students.  I can use the electronic pocket whistle to let others know that I require help.  An additional was the Cell Phone Lite flashlight, which can aid me in keeping track of the road when it is all dark.  A nap alarm was found within the kit also.  This alarm can immediately wake me up when dozing off during evaluation sessions.

When it comes to the proper usage of the devices, I can ususally depend on the instruction manual and DVD that had been included in the SafeFamilyLife Extreme College Survival Kit.  Many useful suggestions to assist me in remaining safe and informed with the six special safety reports included. The personal protection for students kit already includes batteries.

I ordered my own kit to prepare myself when faced with a similar situation.  I know that the kit is assembled to assure effective personal protection for students like myself so I now have greater peace-of-mind.

Protecting Our Little Girl Attending Urban College

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

Continued violence in the streets of  St. Louis is a valid concern to more and more parents sending their daughter off to college in our urban community. Freshman orientation at our urban universities better include personal security when traveling throughout St. Louis as stated in this observation from one worried parent…

It seems like just yesterday we were sending our little girl off to kindergarten on the school bus.  Those years of primary school field trips, middle school dances, and high school football games passed by so quickly.  When al the talk of going off to college became a reality, I just couldn’t believe how quickly we had come to this point in our lives.  As an only child, our daughter was doted upon and treated like the princess that she is.  The thought of her going off to college where she didn’t know anyone was a concern.  Thinking about her being there without us for the first time in her life was downright frightening to me.  She was thrilled to start this new adventure.  She’s a beautiful easy going, fun, down-to-earth young woman, and she had every right to be excited about this new journey she was about to begin.  As her mother, I was also excited for her, but I had the normal fears that every parent experiences when they send their children out into the world for the first time.  I was anxious and worried, not only about her being happy in this new place, but I was seriously worried about her safety.

The community that she is going to school in is a safe, closed-knit college town, but I still knew that anything could happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time, regardless of the location.  With news reports practically every week about the atrocities that go on, even in the safest, most respected cities and towns in our country, I knew that we had to make sure she was educated and prepared for anything that may have threatened her safety.  She had taken self-protection classes in high school, and those offered some self defense techniques, but it wasn’t an extensive course.  I didn’t feel confident that if something, or more specifically someone, threatened her safety, that she would be able to defend her self against an attack of any kind.  After a little research to find things that she could use safely and efficiently against an attacker, it became apparent to me that there were not only hundreds and hundreds of products on the market, but those products can be very expensive.  One can not put a price tag on safety, especially your children’s safety, but it didn’t have to outrageously expensive either.

A great and wonderful family friend told me about a site that she’d found quite by accident and had made a recent purchase for a niece after her graduation.  She told me that if I took a look at this site, I would not have to go any further that that to find everything I needed for my daughter.  i pulled up the urban self protection website that very evening, and as often is the case, my friend was exactly right.  It was like a parent’s dream come true in regard to their child’s  safety needs.  Everything, and I do mean everything, that my daughter could possibly need to protect herself in every way was offered by this company.  From room alarms to pepper sprays are available.  And what’s even more outstanding is that you can get all of the necessary products together, along with reports on safety and safety issues especially related to college students.

The urban self protection package is amazing.  The particular package that I chose was even designed with college girls in mind.  The package contained 4 different kinds of pepper spray, one of which is a lipstick pepper spray.  How brilliant is that! It also included 2 different alarms and a safe, along with an instructional DVD.  it is just simply perfect and has given us a lot more peace of mind.  Sending our daughter off to college still wasn’t an easy thing to do, but at least it wasn’t nearly as scary as I first imagined it to be.  Protecting our little girl has always been our number one priority, and it is so wonderful to see that there is a company who also has our daughter, and every one else’s college-bound son or daughter, as their number one priority too.  This outstanding urban self protection kit certainly allows me to sleep a little easier at night, and to a parent, that means the world.

Protecting Your Family in St Louis

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

The following are realities of living in the most dangerous city in America…

When it comes to personal security products  St. Louis, the truth is that most of us don’t really know where to begin when it comes to protecting ourselves and our family.  The best place to begin is with personal security products. Personal security products St. Louis include things like personal alarms, rape whistles, sirens, mace, pepper spray, tasers, and other forms of personal self defense devices.  these are the type of items that you would carry with you on a daily basis to make sure that you are protected.

Regardless of your regular routine, one of the most important things you do in order to make sure that your protected is to be aware.  Being aware and seeing a potential attacker coming are just two of the best ways you can protect yourself from a potential attack.  Being confident, keeping your head up high, holding your keys with one placed between your index and middle finger are all different tips that can really help make sure that you are well protected. Being protected is just one of the many ways to take care of your personal safety.

Other personal security products St. Louis include the type of products that you have around your home.  Some of the best products are the ones that are the simplest to operate and the most effective.  When it comes to the safety of your home, before considering a security alarm, the first thing you should consider is the locks on all of the doors and windows in your home.  Looking for locks to be secure and fastened is a great way to make sure that your home is well protected.  The second thing you should do is make sure that doggie doors and other pet entrances are far enough away from major entrances so that they don’t entice a home invader.  Making sure that they are only just large enough for your pet to fit through will also help prevent an intruder from coming in your home that way.

Getting to the most obvious option, the home alarm system is a great tool.  Not only is it a great way to protect your home, but signs indicating that it is in your home are a great deterrent against potential burglars.  Making sure that your home is protected is as much about making sure your security alarm is armed when you need it and not letting the practice of setting it fall to the weigh-side because you start letting your guard down.  Letting your guard down is the time when even the safest of homes is vulnerable to an attack.

Be Safe While at College with College Safety Kit

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Going to college is an exciting time for both the new college student, but also for the parents.  Many kids leave their homes to live on campus when they go to college, and the college may not be close enough to the parents home to where they can visit frequently.

Although going to college is a great opportunity, it is also filled with new experiences and dangers that may not seem readily apparent.  It is very common for the college freshman to be unsure of what to do once they get to the university, especially in terms of being safe and minimizing their risks of being assaulted or robbed. These possible attacks are usually on the mind of many parents however, and they might feel helpless since they can not be there to protect their child.  No one likes to think that an attack can happen to them, but unfortunately, this is the ugly truth.

There are people out there that may attack you, and it is always better to be prepared with the knowledge and equipment to fend them off and keep yourself safe.  Every minute, a robbery occurs.  there are more statistics that make it very evident that these types of crime, violent crimes, aggravated assaults, sexual assaults, and others, happen – and they happen often.  Rather than try to pretend as if it simply can not happen to you or someone you know, knowing this information can help you find out how you can prevent them from happening.

Although there are individual products out there that may help you protect yourself and prevent an attack, such as pepper spray, a safe, or an instructional video that teaches basic self-defense moves, often times these products are not easy to find, and one method is simply not enough.  Instead of settling for one way to protect yourself and your valuables, it is best to get all the resources in one place because your safety deserves your full attention and effort.

This is exactly what you get with the College Safety Kit.  With the College Safety Kit, you not only get the products to be able to defend yourself and your valuables, you also get an instructional DVD that demonstrates how to use each product.  After all, a product is not useful if you do not know how to use it and it is just lying there, you will have the information to be able to make the most of them.

The College Safety Kit is great because not only does it offer different products, it offers them in different ways so that you will be able to use them at different times and in different occasions.  For example, many people have heard of pepper spray, but have you ever heard of lipstick pepper spray?  Pepper spray on a visor clip?  You may only be aware of the pepper spray on your keychain, but what if it is inconvenient for you to carry it?  Rather than take it, you will most likely leave it at home, where it will not be of any use to you.  this is why rather than only offer one way of carrying your pepper spray, you will be able to use different ways, and this way you can surprise you attacker.

They may try to knock a visible pepper spray container out of your hand, but they will think little of a small tube of lipstick.  Along with various different ways of carrying your pepper spray, the kit also includes a book that is actually a safe.  As a college student, you will have a variety of books and it will be easy to hide your valuables in a book so that it can blend in easily.  Along with the safe, you will also get a nap alarm and a door stop alarm so that you are aware of anyone coming in to your house.  And if you ever found yourself walking alone at night, you will be happy to have the cell phone lite so that you can make your way to your destination safely and you will be able to see what is going on around you.

All the batteries for the products are included in the College Safety Kit, so you can start using them right away.  The world is a dangerous place, and while it is reasonable to be cautious and aware of your surroundings, you do not have to be fearful of them.  Instead, take control of your life and feel safe with the revolutionary College Safety Kit.

College Self Defense Kit For These Dangerous Times

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

 

So you’re sending your son or daughter off to college, but should you send them equipped with a college student self defense kit?  Say again? Self defense? That’s not the first things that comes to mind when most people think about heading off to college.  Rather, this is an exciting time of meeting new people starting a new career, expanding ones horizons, and maybe getting into some really decent partying – but crime?  Well, statistic show that college campus actually are safer on average than off-campus venues, but all kinds of crimes, from petty theft, to horrible crimes like rape, murder and muggings happen on college campuses every day.

Some are worse than others.  Many college campuses are getting an especially bad reputation for rape, and its often a well-deserved charge.  The dark lanes of a college campus, where there tend to be high numbers of young attractive women, are sometimes targeted by attackers.  But there is also a lot of student-on-student sexual assault, often in the form of date rape.  Now take into account that most college and university campuses prohibit the possession of firearms on the school grounds.  So you can’t carry a loaded pistol.  What can you equip yourself with to foil possible attacks against you?  A college student self defense kit may cover at least most of the bases, and provides some peace of mind.  Here, for example, is what is included in such kits: *Tasers or stun guns*pepper spray*Personal door alarms*hidden safes for dorm rooms*Spy cameras*Pen knives.  Many college student self defense kits contain all or some of the above, assembled in one neat package for you to buy all at once.

Tasers or electronic stun devices for college students can be configured to look exactly like cell phones.  Thus, bypass such a regulation.  A cell phone stun gun has the advantage of letting the user carry it along in hand while they are walking in a potentially dangerous area.  That might be some outdoor campus location at night, or in the isolated hallway of a dorm room or classroom where a predator may be lurking.  It looks natural to be carrying a cell phone in one’s hand, but it is an at-the-ready defensive device that could save a life, prevent a rape, mugging or worse.

Pepper spray is another handy non-lethal defensive weapon, and in many college kits, they are shaped to look like lipstick tubes.  Again, a perfect way to discretely carry a defensive device without attracting undue attention.  One of the most common crimes on college campuses does not involve violence.  Rather, its theft.  Dorm rooms are extremely easy prey to a skilled or experienced thief.

Today, many college students have big ticket items in their dorm rooms – flat screen TVs, DVDs, laptops, cash, credit cards, jewelry – all tasty items for the hungry thief.  And a thief could be anyone, even ones own roommate.  Thus, it only makes sense to take some normal precautions.  That means installing some kind of door alarm that will alert you to when someone enters your room without your permission.  High tech devices can both sound an alarm, or alert the student via cell phone when security has been breeched.

For smaller valuables, a hidden safe is a terrific way to protect valuables.  Many college student self defense kits offer hidden book safes.  They look like an ordinary book, but inside is a space to lock up small items of high value.  Even if a thief finds it, they’ll have a hard time breaking into it.  Door alarms are important for another reason.  Imagine if an intruder attempts to gain access to your college dorm room while you are sleeping at night.  For female students, this can be especially frightening.  A door alarm can save the day.  A sounding alarm can scare off an intruder, while also giving the resident a chance to grab a taser or pepper spray.

The best college student self defense kits not only provide key items like the ones we described above, but also offer instruction and training.  Thus, some kits come complete with training videos and manuals, and also describe strategies for how to act and react in situations of danger.  There are other items we have not talked about – such as telescopic steel batons, safety lights, even infidelity detectors – and maybe you don’t need everything.  But having the basics, such as a taser or pepper spray, and a simple alarm on the door, is just good basic common sense.  Equipping a student with a college self defense kit should not mean that one is adopting an attitude of fear and paranoia.  Rather, its a candid and stark recognition that crime happens, even on the most serene of college campuses.  There is nothing wrong and everything right, with being prepared.

Complete Home Surveillance Equipment

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Being a executive assistant to a successful entrepreneur,  I don’t only perform administrative duties in the workplace, but I also carry out special projects that he can’t handle anymore but wouldn’t entrust to just anyone.

Recently, he acquired a piece of property in a quite well-off area.  The houses within this secluded neighborhood are few and far between, so he needed a total security solution to safeguard his newly bought residence.  When I was asked to look into the Complete Home Surveillance Equipment, I made the decision that it could be the quickest to start on the web.

I assumed that a 16 Channel Wireless DVR Complete System would surely fit his requirements.  This system makes use of 16 cameras that consist of 12 wired and 4 wireless cameras.  It supplies a digital video recorder with a complete networking capacity, which allows him to view live on the internet any activity in or around his home.

This total bundle is perfect for vast locations including warehouses or luxury homes.  It includes a stand-alone 16 channel DVR, 12 units of day/night color wired bullet cameras, 4 units of color wireless bullet cameras, 12 pieces of one hundred food video cables, four models of 2.4 GHz video clip receivers and a 17 inch LCD monitor.

Among Home Surveillance Equipment, the 8 Channel Wireless DVR Complete System is ideal for mid-sized offices and residences.  Together with a stand-alone eight channel DVR, it includes four color wired bullet cameras for day/night use, four color wireless bullet cameras for day/night use, four pieces of a hundred foot video clip cables, 4 units of 2.4 GHz video receivers and a 17 inch LCD monitor.

I didn’t wish to second-guess his option of Home Surveillance Equipment so I’m suggesting the 4 Channel Wireless DVR Complete System although it is much more suited to small-scale businesses and homes.  Inside the package is a stand-alone four channel DVR, four day/night bullet cameras that are wireless color cameras, four models of 2.4 GHz video receivers and a 17 inch LCD monitor.

The 4 Channel DVR Complete System – Deluxe would be the very best for outside uses because it includes cameras with dome housings.  The set constitutes a stand-alone four channel DVR, two day/night weatherproof dome cameras, 2 days/night weatherproof bullet cameras, 1 remote control, 4 pieces of 50 foot cables and four units of power supply.

In case he prefers the most economical of Home Surveillance Equipment, that would need to be the 4 Channel Wired USB DVR Complete System.  This program might be setup in a mere five minutes.  A USB digital video recorder, four day/night color wired bullet cameras and 4 pieces of a hundred food video clip cables comprise the bundle.
