Today I am thinking more about and using dvr surveillance than weapons. The weapons I have chosen are for self defense versus deadly force. I know there is more going on in life around me than I am aware of as I do not consider myself to be streetwise. After all, I am an engineer and not a cop. I have a tendency to think about what I am doing and not what others are doing, going to do or thinking about doing. Let me explain.
I have been known to travel on regular schedules where I would be away from my home for business week at a time. This must have been obvious because my rainy day funds kept coming up short.
When I was younger, time passes so quickly, I remembered everything. It wasn’t much fun because I would stay upset for undue lengths of time, but that is the way it was for me.
I saved my change diligently and only spent bills. I would periodically roll my pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters for my rainy day fund and then stow the rainy day fund in what I thought was a secure hiding place in my home. I had an exact count of what was there and enjoyed growing my rainy day fund for that rainy day I knew would come sooner or later.
Well, imagine my surprise when I came home from one of my trips, did my normal process of wrapping change and then tally up my reserve just to make myself feel good, and found I was missing an even $100.00 from my reserve.
I had no proof but I new it was kids just trying to survive by helping themselves to some of my change. they were clever and took a variety of quarters, dimes and nickels so no one group would be obviously depleted.
This continued to happen on a regular basis until I just cashed in my rainy day fund into a small savings account.
Today I use small DVR surveillance systems to monitor what is going on while I am gone. I let them collect a bit of dust so they don’t look attractive to a small time thief. They say the proof is in the taste of the pudding and they were right.
 This is great on the back of your stove.
It doesn’t matter what you suspect. It matters what you can prove to the authorities to correct the mischievous behavior especially with youngsters. I think it is important to catch youngsters because then you can help them become better citizens as well instead of long term criminals.
Enough about me.
This is what I did. I keep my computers and televisions and dvrs where they belong. I added hidden cameras in my plants, in my radios and in my lights. I hid my remote viewer in my books. I added a few miniature automatic motion sensor alarms in some rocks around my windows in the garden. Now I can play in my own home knowing I am guarded inside and out. I wear an audio miniature dvd watch to record meetings so I can play it back and send appropriate emails at work to prevent he said she said conversations (they bore me to near death). I’ve added an ultrasonic pest tool to my arsenal to break up dog fights and drive the moles into the neighbors yard. I am also more comfortable walking with my untrasonic pest control on my hip ( use a keychain on a belt and it looks cool too). I keep pepper spray in a multitude of color coordinated forms just in case but I rely on my TASER C2 with a 15 foot range for human intervention.
Now here is what I am talking about. Get a book. I recommend “How to Protect Yourself from Crime” by Ira A. Lipman.
This is the most complete guide to crime protection ever written. Just so you know; I have no affiliation with the author. This book is a good read. The author is the president of one of the world’s largest security service companies. This is a valuable guide that can show you and your family how to be safe at home, on the road, at work, and even on vacation. Chapters include Security in Your Home, Security Away from Home, Family Security, Community Security, Protection from Violent Crimes, and Corporate Security. To show that they are concerned about their customers security, companies can give this book away to their special clients.
OOPS. I need a time out. I will update this soon.

This coffee mug is what is called a can safe. You can have your water on top and your jewelry on the bottom when you go into the gym for your normal routine. Just leave your water cup in your locker. No one will be the wiser.
| Or with this new safe you will be able to enjoy your morning coffee knowing that your valuables are safely hidden. Most burglars spend less than six minutes inside a victim’s home and only have time to check the most obvious places for valuables. This unique “safe” allows you to hide valuables inside a travel coffee mug – one of the last places a thief would think to look. The top portion can actually be used as an insulated coffee thermos. It has a no-spill top and will hold about as much coffee as a standard coffee mug. When you unscrew the top from the bottom portion you are provided with an area approximately 6 inches tall by 3 inches in diameter to hide your valuables. The color of the coffee mug may be one of three colors: blue, red, purple. |
This is a super gift idea for the holidays. Just think about young mom’s out with the baby in a stroller. Where can she keep her keys? Personally, I recommend using sufficient padding to make the cup feel fully weighted with fluid and you don’t want it to jiggle.

I always end up loving this time of year so I give up early any issues towards the flutter and clutter around the holidays. I am also very present to the dangers lurking around every corner. I have spent my life being lucky. I used to think that bad things only happened to bad people but it wasn’t true. Innocent people have become the victims of many a desperate person who is unduly antagonized by the obvious wealth surrounding the holidays. I know I put my shopping treasures in the trunk of my car. I am even somewhat paranoid while I am moving my carriage from the store where I felt safe to my car and then while moving my items from a carriage to my trunk. I am scared getting into the car. Then I lock my doors and hope no one breaks my car window before I can get out of the parking lot just to get the few buck left in my purse.
 Auto Emergency Tool
Great Holiday gift idea: This AUTO EMERGENCY TOOL is clearly a lifesaver!
With 4 emergency functions in one, this car emergency tool is the most versatile on the market.
The super bright flashlight can be used at night in any situation.
The blinking emergency light activates automatically upon removal from its base.
If trapped inside a car, use the unit as a hammer to break the window for escape or use the blade to cut the seat belt.
A snap on base allows for fast removal in any emergency while the magnetic head keeps the unit handy when working on the car.
The housing is water resistant.
Easy installation requires no tools.
Includes:
- Super Bright Flashlight
- Blinking Emergency Light
- Window Escape Hammer
- Seat Belt Cutter
- 7 inches long
I have been trapped in my car just because the automatic seat belt had retracted too far and I couldn’t move. I was stuck inside my brand new car. I was pulled in so tightly I could barely breath. If I had one of these Auto Emergency Tool Kits in my door pocket or tucked into my seat; I could have relaxed and just used the seat belt cutter to cut the seat belt loose. Instead I had to drive to a service station while terrified, find an attendant to come to my rescue, explain my situation and finally get my seat belt released so I could get out of my car. It was a terrifying experience being trapped inside my car.
The seat belt cutter is a lifesaver. Imagine if it happened to you in an accident when you were stuck in a death trap. I highly recommend this as a great stocking stuffer for anyone who drives alone (and who doesn’t drive alone sometimes). Where to Buy
I was unfortunate enough to get a flat tire on a super highway in New England. I was going pretty fast at the time, just keeping up with the traffic at about 80 mph. I was able to control the car to a stop. Then I took a long breath. Now what. No flashlight. Imagine my surprise. I was not well equipped. I made it to the trunk where a low level truck light was fortunately working and I found my tire iron and jack and handle and my tire wasn’t deflated. I had all the pieces except a flashlight to see what I was doing and a flashing warning light to keep the fast moving traffic away while I changed my tire and any type of self defense mechanism at all.
I got lucky. A car came to my rescue who had observed my gracious flat tire stop to the side of the busy road. Great? Strangers stopping to help me? I kept my distance and let them change the tire on the highway side of the car. I was defenseless. They finished the job and I thanked them. I was lucky the kids were helpful and I was grateful for their kindness and expediency. I was most happy to drive away without any further incident.

“Brad Neat has used his many years of experience running dive boats in the Florida Keys to tell both novice and experienced divers what makes a safe dive on a dive boat.

“Tales From The Reef” is an informative “common sense” approach to recognizing and dealing with the potential dangers and pitfalls in the sport of scuba diving. The book focuses on how common mistakes can become life-threatening when more than one of them occur at the same time. As someone who has survived a near-fatal dive accident, I can attest to the importance of considering how minor problems can quickly escalate into serious ones.” –Frank Ireland | subject of Chapter 11

[polldaddy poll=1792366]  16 Channel Surveillance System Welcome to S elfdefenceAndSecurity.com
This is my very favorite home or office surveillance system. The best feature in my opinion is the 4 wireless channels. That means I can use the wireless channels to determine where to position my hard wired cameras to get the best results. In addition, I can get started right away using the wireless and add the wired cameras later. You can always just start out with the 4 wireless to keep the expenses down and add the cable cameras at a later date on a budget. The best defense is a good offense and cameras provide that for you. The more self defense systems you have the more likely you are to feel secure where ever you are.

Is this Acer Aspire 4810tz-4011 Timeline 14.0-Inch Laptop cool or what. The new Acer Aspire 4810tz-4011 Timeline 14.0-Inch Laptop is one of the Timeline models from Acer and it earned the name “all-day” notebook because it provides up to 8.0 hours of battery life. This is great because it is allowing users to go unplugged throughout the workday. It is what I call portabile as it is compact in size and very light weight. The Aspire 4800 has a 14.0″ LCD and weighs in at only 4.2 pounds. It is just a bit more than one-inch high.
