Woman Jumps Off Cliff to Flee Attacker

admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:24:58 +0000

Authorities say a man tried to sexually assault a Malibu jogger who escaped by jumping off a cliff and sliding about 100 feet down a steep hillside… Foxnews story

Joggers should always carry some form of personal protection with them on their run. A container of pepper spray weighs next to nothing and can easily be used should the need arise. Runners are targets for predators because a runner is usually engrossed in their run and not paying attention. Especially if they’re listening to music and can’t hear the outside world.

Safety First Saturday – Spring and Summer Tips

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:37:51 +0000

Spring and Summer are right around the corner. A lot of us have already begun to feel the temperatures rising.

This is an exciting time of year. People are thinking vacations, outdoors and fun!

Here are five tips to keep you and your family safe as the seasons unfold:

1. Pools – a refreshing way to cool down on a hot day. But pools are very dangerous to small children. If you are visiting a place with a pool, be sure to know where all life saving devices are, keep life jackets or swim wings on kids at all times, and talk to your kids about pool safety. If you own a pool do all of the mentioned and also consider a Pool Alarm. This alarm monitors changes in the surface level of the water. Should a child, animal or anything else fall in, the alarm will sound.

2. Skin care – even if you live somewhere that’s mostly cloudy, you are still getting the harmful rays of the sun. Make sure everyone is well covered in sun block of at least SPF 30 and be sure to reapply throughout the day.

3. Vacations – spring and summer are often prime season for tourist attractions. Not only does this make business owners happy but criminals as well. Remember, criminals act on opportunity. Get familiar with places you visit before you arrive and be sure to carry only small amounts of cash when you’re there. Keep your hotel locked and consider bringing a Door Stop Alarm. This alarm acts as a door wedge and alarm. Should anyone open your room door, an alarm will sound 130dB.

4. Heat exhaustion – the rising temperatures will make it almost impossible to stay indoors for a long period of time. Picnics, sports games, parades and community events will be filling our weekends. It’s important to remember to stay hydrated with water, especially for children and the elderly. Symptoms include: Heavy sweating, fatigue, headache, pale/clammy skin, thirst, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps. If you think heat exhaustion is occurring, get to a cool, air conditioned room and drink cool (not icy) fluids such as water or sport drinks.

5. Hot cars – last year we heard a lot of stories about children and pets being left in cars…some of them survived but some of them didn’t. This really is about common sense. No matter how quickly your trip into the store or wherever may be…take your children. If you are running errands where you cannot take a pet, then leave your pet at home. When you get home, double check your car to make sure everyone is out.

Hope that you’re as excited about the approaching summer as we are and I hope you find these reminders helpful!

How A Security Camera Can Keep You Out of Jail

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:45:51 +0000

An Arizona woman is sitting behind bars for quite some time after stabbing her husband over his cell phone call history.

Now, lets go back a little bit. This lady’s suspicion didn’t all of sudden come about and she thought, “hmmm, let me check out his phone”. No, no, no…we all know women have this funny thing called intuition.

Her intuition alarm had been going off long before this night.

What she failed to do was try to catch him first, then confront him with hard core evidence. Instead, she freaks out over an untelling call log and stabs the man multiple times.

Ladies (and men!), let’s start putting on our creative caps before our crazy caps! We have the perfect solution whether you suspect a cheating spouse, or maybe an abusive nanny or even misbehaving teenagers.

And that solution is a hidden camera with built-in DVR. We have several options from an alarm clock to air freshener to ultra portable solutions like a cigarette lighter hidden camera or desk clock camera.

Whatever your need, we have something that I know will work for you. Get over to our web site and check out our selection of hidden cams, nanny cams and surveillance equipment.

Safety First Saturday – Breakins occur even in YOUR neighborhood

admin — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 16:56:16 +0000

A neighbor of mine recently came to me to ask for help with choosing hidden cameras for his home. We’ll call him “Joe” to protect the innocent.

Joe’s been having repeat break-ins occurring at his home. He explained that he knows it’s the same thieves every time, thinks he knows who it is, but can’t prove it. He continued to say he has two choices to end this: 1) shoot them, or 2) catch them in the act. He really prefers the latter.

With a family of 6, Joe is very concerned for their safety. His wife is now afraid to stay home by herself with the kids. Joe is dealing with the stress of being away from home, wondering how many doors he is going to have to replace before these criminals get caught. The police haven’t been very much help. There isn’t enough evidence.

Joe has been broken into many times by these thugs, and the last two times were within a month of each other – just this past month as a matter of fact. A no-good neighbor keeps a watch for when there is no one home at Joe’s and then makes a call and gives an “all clear”. Later, when Joe arrives home from a long days work, his house is torn apart, and things are missing. Valuable things like jewelry, money and guns. The jerks even tear through the kids’ rooms for goods.

Last Saturday, which was also the day Joe received his camera equipment from us, he and his son were out back shooting their guns, practicing for their next hunting expedition. Later that evening, while Joe was running up the road to drop his kids off at his parents so he & his wife could enjoy a night out with some friends, the culprits tried striking again. After hearing the gun shots earlier in the day, that no-good neighbor rang his kleptomaniac friends to fill them in.

The sound of those guns alerted them there was more loot. Unfortunately, Joe hadn’t enough time yet to get his camera’s set up and in place. Luckily, his friends had been pulling up in his driveway at the same time and ran them off before they could do any damage.

Now he has his hidden cameras in place and recording 24/7. He has them strategically placed at the entry points, and the next time those burglars prowl again, it will be their last time.

Even if you have never been burglarized, wouldn’t you feel more safe knowing that should this happen to you, you’ll have the security in place to prevent it from happening again?

We have a great line of hidden camera products – check them out! And, don’t forget, our Christmas Season sale is still running, so you’ll receive 15% off your entire order!

Jogging With Pepper Spray

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:14:55 +0000

I got an email from a reader who became concerned about safety when a neighbor was attacked on an evening jog.

This lady jogs the beach every day after work around 6pm. Up until the time change it was always light outside during her run.

The other night she made her way down to the beach, turned on the iPod and started her 2 mile route.

So it was dark, she had earphones in, the music cranked-up, and no one was around…or so she thought.

During her cool-down a man grabbed her from behind and tried to force her to the ground. She never even heard him coming.

Luckily she was able to fight him off and run for help.

I immediately suggested the Mace Hot Walkers. They are 1lb walking weights with a secret weapon…Pepper Spray. Just point the weight at an attacker’s face and shoot! You even get one Free replacement canister.

Who is caring for your child?

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:04:27 +0000

While 9 month old Emily plays in a crib, her young, single mother gets ready to go to work. She recently hired a part-time nanny to watch after Emily during the day.
Her daughter was the happiest baby anyone had ever met. Always laughing and smiling, having fun and being a baby. But after a few weeks Emily’s disposition changed drastically. Her mother thought it may have been from a lack of naps and sat down with the nanny to emphasize the importance of a schedule.
Not wanting to take any chances, Emily’s mother purchased an Air Freshener with a hidden camera and digital video recorder built inside. It was very simple to use…she just plugged it in, chose to record only when motion was detected and hit record.
She returned home from work one afternoon to find Emily down for an afternoon nap. She almost felt guilty for sneaking around with the hidden camera.
After saying her goodbye’s to the nanny and settling in from her day of work she decided to review the video.
Much to her dismay, she saw that her daughter was left in a play pen in the living room for the first 4 hours while the nanny slept. After the nanny couldn’t sleep through baby Emily’s cries any longer the nanny would let her roam freely around the house. The mother’s anger is building and building.
A little further in to the recording, she watches as some friends of the nanny’s show up at the house. During this time, it seems the nanny locked little Emily in her room.
Still angry, of course, Emily’s mom continued to watch. Tears filled her eyes as she watched the nanny slap her child. The nanny would walk by Emily and kick her out of the way. She picked her up like a rag doll and tossed her onto the furniture.
Emily’s mom stopped the recording, grabbed the phone, and went to Emily. While dialing the police, she picked Emily up from the crib and noticed bruising on various parts of her body, including her face.
Thankfully, because of the nanny cam purchase, a trip to the emergency room, and a police report filed, Emily is alive and healthy today. A nanny is in jail.

It’s Nobody’s Business But Yours

admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:53:23 +0000

Today I talked to a friend who works for a sports photography company in Florida. It’s a close knit group of people with a love for capturing the priceless moments in sports. Tonight, however, their pockets and arsenal of equipment are alot lighter.

Saturday started just like other. The vans were packed with cameras, lights, backdrops and tents. Several teams headed to photo shoots all over town. They set-up, they shot pictures, they broke down and went home.

It was a normal practice to leave everything in the van, hiding the camera bag and money box. They would unload everything next week. But someone beat ‘em to it.

They returned to find the van door had been pried open with a crow bar, the cameras were removed from the camera bag, lenses and flash along with $2000 cash was stolen from the van.

The thief or possibly thieves, entered the studio and went for the book keepers desk where they made off with more cash.

The owners know it was an inside job because the thieves left anything that was really important to the company. Things like storage cards that held hundreds of pictures, laptops that also stored several thousand pictures and other expensive electronics.

This is the biggest mistake of victims: creating opportunity. Too many people knew how and where equipment and cash was stored and access to these things was completely unrestricted.

It really hurt the owner and I don’t mean financially. He thought he could trust the people who work for him. He learned the hard way.

And now, after it’s too late, he is looking for ways to protect his business. I suggested things like the Motion Detector Hidden Camera with Built-In DVR, the AutoDialer which will call up to 5 phone numbers if motion is detected, a few Doorbraces, hidden safes for petty cash and even pepper spray for the employees while at work.

His total loss is somewhere around $5000.00. Wouldn’t you feel more at ease if your assets were protected?
