Home security systems used to be flashing lights or loud noises when a burglar approaches, but that is no longer the case. A home video surveillance system and wireless security camera have taken precedence over those loud alarm monitoring security systems. These have developed as different and easier options to protecting your home. These wireless home security cameras or video systems offer the homeowner so much more benefits to keep a closer eye on their entire home; both indoors and o... more...

Is it easy for you to relax at night? Can you honestly say you feel totally safe in the comfort of your own residence? The sad truth is that an awful lot of people really do feel ok, yet they don't so much as take the proper precautions to protect against thieves and other dangers that our homes are subject to. Heck I know people who don't even take the time to make sure all their windows and doors are properly looked when they go out and when they go to bed at night! Are you do... more...

Over the last two weeks I have seen on the news a half a dozen reports on home invasions. This seems to be the crime of choice these days probably due to the luxurious home goods that people are investing in today. It wasn't just a few years ago that the term "home invasion" was rarely heard and no one ever thought that they were at risk. The sad truth is that it is definitely becoming a more popular word and an even more popular act and as you may or may not know, most hom... more...

How important is your family to you? My family means the world to me and I wouldn't risk their safety by saving all of the money in the world! I was recently approached by a neighbor of mine who happens to be a salesman for a home alarm system company. He began speaking to me by just shooting the breeze. He had never really made any attempt to speak to, or get to know me until today, so of course, knowing the business he was in, I sat there wondering when the sales pitch was going to be ... more...

Stun guns are a popular method of self-defense and are incredibly portable. Individuals concerned with protecting themselves can carry stun guns in a variety of methods and many such guns are camouflaged to appear like something altogether different. Stun guns can give the carrier a sense of security, but that should never be an isolated assurance. You should always know where the exits and entrances are in buildings you frequent. If you have a long commute to school or work, always know... more...

It's a device straight out of a Cold War era spy film. It's a device designed to look like an everyday business accessory needed for document transportation. What is it? It's a briefcase surveillance system. Now you can be the Man (or Woman) in the Grey Flannel Suit who's also a covert operator of some sort. Who needs a hidden camera in a briefcase? Just about anyone who wants to record activity without being obvious about it. This would include the aforemention... more...

If you are considering an infrared security camera system then be aware you'll come across what are known as night vision cameras. There is a subtle difference. Many people confuse the two but the truth is, night vision or day/night cameras don't have infrared capability. The former has the ability to produce images in total darkness while the latter doesn't. There is no suggestion here that one is better than the other and your circumstances will play a big part in which w... more...

A lot of scams work on the human weakness of greed like the pigeon drop. The Bank Examiner scam works on the honest citizen who wants to be of assistance in apprehending a thief. One of the "operators" contacts a potential victim and tells them he is a bank examiner and a teller at the victims b... more...

Several years ago while working as a police detective in a large city I assisted in the investigation of the murder of one woman and the attempted murder of another.

The murdered woman had been strangled and then placed in a tub of water. Several pieces of property were taken from her residence. The lucky woman who survived had placed an... more...

It seems like nothing is sacred anymore. Thieving scavengers have attacked everything from copper cable used to control train signals to air conditioners in churches. In the latter instance $23,000 in damage was caused by the thieves in their quest for the copper from five air conditioners in a church. The thieves usually cause more costs to the victims in damage by their primitive methods of removing the copper. They will tear anything up including cement floors to get to pipes or wires. The co... more...
