What Do The Mice Do? Article Description: ==================== This current article deals with how to begin to learn the basics of heightened awareness to surveillance situations we all encounter on a fairly regular basis. We have all been sometimes unsure of what is happening to our home when we are at work or whom is rifling through our desk and filing cabinets at the office. In this article I describe some easy methods that we can all use to begin to protect our assets at home and work and even our cars. This can even be done using the Internet from a remote location in real time.

What Do The Mice Do? Copyright (c) 2008 Gerald E. Veale Veale Safety http://www.vealesafety.com Our lives are busy. We work hard for the things we want and need for our family. Often times there are people around us who we trust a lot. Yet we have never really investigated who and what they are. We need to become significantly more vigilant in our efforts to protect ourselves by utilizing some simple techniques that are available to all of us. This article will describe easy methods to achieve this goal. All of us can and should do this. The Most Important Tips To Determine How Safe Your Environment Is * You and your loved ones - are you all properly safeguarded? There are many ways to do this in today's electronic world but I am specifically speaking about yourself and family while in your own home. You need to really give this some serious consideration. Even if you pay for a monthly security service many municipalities may not respond because of excessive false alarms and lack of police personnel. * Are your locks and entry points adequate to deter home invasion (the most popular new sport amongst thieves)? Several new, non-lethal, technical innovations are now affordable and easily obtained that will provide the peace of mind that we all want and deserve. I will describe some later in this article and also in future articles. * Have you had family discussions concerning what to do in the case of different emergency scenarios? This is a high priority and should be done on a fairly regular basis. Home invasion, fire, terrorism, and weather related situations, blackouts, etc. All of these common situations, and many less frequent, need to be addressed. * After planning out your strategy you will need to find all the necessary resources to make your personal world a safer place. It is probably unrealistic to think that you will achieve %100. However, with increased awareness and a few high quality deterrents implemented into your home, you will make for a less than desirable target for a criminal and they will seek out an easier target. * Do some simple investigating regarding how much criminal activity is occurring in your neighborhood. You may be well advised to install a surveillance camera system to monitor activity around your residence and street. Increasing your level of presence near your home is one of the keys that thieves and criminal types are very attuned to. You do it and they go elsewhere. As I have stated in my previous PERSONAL SAFETY articles, awareness is a critical key to the prevention of becoming a victim or being a survivor. With increases in technology and decreases in cost of equipment, we can all benefit by staying alert of changes and incorporating some easily implemented protection for ourselves, our families and our businesses. What happens at home while you are at work? What happens at work after you leave? Who is at the front door? All these and many more questions are becoming ever more difficult to answer and may represent danger to each and every aspect of our lives. What follows are five ways you can provide answers and proof of what is happening while you are not around. Five Ways To Quickly Protect Your Home And Business 1. Covert video recording cameras are now affordable, tiny, easily installed and hidden. NannyCams and hidden camera resolution is more than adequate to provide the necessary proof to authorities or yourself to take appropriate action to remedy the negative situation. This is true for HOME and OFFICE situations. 2. Hidden cameras are available for automobile installation, which will protect both your car as well as giving you a view and record of your home or office entry areas and parking locations. They are not costly and anyone can do the setup. 3. There is NASA developed computer programming available that will allow you to monitor any of your cameras from ANY computer and if you have Internet capability, anywhere in the world! This includes work, home, and even using your laptop while on vacation to see what is happening at home. DVR systems with up to sixteen channel capability are available that will record endlessly until the hard drive is full. Each camera will only use approximately 1GB per day. 4. While we have become immune to car alarm systems, there are EXTREMELY loud alarms available for your home and office that will deter any intruder. Coupled with personal safety devices like stun guns, tasers mace, etc. this is a very affordable way to provide some peace of mind to us as individuals. 5. Without proof there is no way to involve the Police to investigate and apprehend the criminal who is responsible. If you are hit once, the criminal then knows you are an easy target in the future. Prevention begins with protection. What does all this mean for you? Technological advances are evolving at a literally screaming pace. Criminal types are also evolving at a screaming pace. Each of us needs to protect our personal space with whatever technology is available to put ourselves and our work and home environments a "STEP ABOVE" the rest of the crowd. In doing so, we take away our appeal to the average (but intelligent) criminal. Do your own investigation concerning what is available. Visit my websites and others. Ask hard questions. Keep asking until you are satisfied. In my prior articles I have dealt with personal protection issues and while this is certainly of paramount concern to us all, so is the protection of all our accomplishments and possessions. We all need to be proactive in this regard. If we do this we will have less need to be reactive after something happens. As always, be aware, be safe but remember to think about these issues and take the necessary steps to give you peace of mind for your future. --------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Gerry Veale and I will educate any reader with timely and informative articles concerning ways to guard against personal attackers of all kinds.
