What can I put on this outward swinging door as an extra layer of defense to stop the door from opening? It needs to be renter friendly as well, so no drilling.
The way doorway is and the fact that it is outward swinging makes most door stoppers and defense products useless.
ADT finally realized younger homeowners don’t want installers drilling holes in their walls or long term contracts. The new ADT Blu system is fully DIY, app controlled, expandable over time, and optionally backed by professional monitoring. It feels like ADT finally admitting the Ring and SimpliSafe era changed the home security business forever.
This is the board for the opener. Trying to link a keypad to a Nice gate opener.
Is there a learn button?
Hello, I'm looking to get at least 2 outdoor security cameras for better views. I recently bought two C120s just to try and positioning them towards the outside through the windows, but Im think they are not enough. My house is pretty low and is a rental so I dont want to do drillings which the only choice would be using a gutter mount. I think my C120s are quite good but Idk if i should get a different brand or maybe stick with Tapo. I have seen good and bad reviews about Reolink, more of good ones though. Eufy is expensive and has quite a lot of complaints too. Tapo has high reviews but their range are cheaper than the other two which idk why though. Can you help me out? Preferably wireless ones with solar panels that can be hooked up to the gutter mount and no subscriptions is preferred. Thanks!
I have a blink outdoor camera but the volume is low. Was interested in a setup where I can remotely control a speaker etc to make a noise momentarily to scare the pigeons away. Yes wifi range is on balcony and a power source.
TIA
I am not able to own a gun right now. I have a small thing of pepper gel already, but I'm worried about if someone breaks into my house or I am in an enclosed space that pepper wouldn't be ideal.
I was looking at the compact version. Reviews and videos look good. I am worried that the barrel being shorter would decrease accuracy though.
So what does everyone think? Would one of these even be worth picking up?
I just purchased this. I ordered a tuning barrel, silencer, and power kit from Z-Ram as well as some ammo. Does anyone have any real world experience with these?
It's time to het serious about your home security.
Hi everyone! We work in the privacy/security field and deal a lot with hidden camera detection and surveillance awareness.
We’ve noticed there’s still a lot of misinformation online around finding hidden cameras, especially in hotels, rentals, offices, and temporary accommodations.
Some examples we see often:
Curious what methods people here actually trust when checking a space.
Have you found anything particularly effective or ineffective in real-world situations?
Interested to hear different perspectives from the community.
I’m pretty proud of myself. It only took me 32 seconds to wake up, grab the .38, and clear two rooms in the back, as well as the hallway. Woke up this morning thinking I was going to need to kill someone. Needless to say, I didn’t need any coffee.
Turns out my wife left the window unlocked and the cats were leaning against it.
Edit: I would never want to kill someone. I’ve seen the damage it does to someone’s mental health when they’re forced to.
With these guns you fire and hope the perpetrator doesn't have a real weapon, people who are to commit crimes will commit the crimes nonetheless. Well anyways i hope you have some recommendations other than this for me ahahhahah
At 1:15, an owner watching their security cameras had their power turned off.
UPS is a must nowadays. I'm hearing an increase in burglars cutting power, it's not clear how they're doing it, could be as simple as flipping breakers.
I've been seeing news of hidden cameras with battery packs for at least 1-2 years now.
Hey guys, I have a somewhat complex situation and am looking for some information on how to best protect myself and my home. My ex lived with me at my current address for years before getting arrested for some really heinous crimes I had no knowledge of. He was living a secret double life and I discovered I had no idea who this person truly was. He has spent years in prison, but is scheduled to be released next year and I am trying to be proactive about my safety. He is a large individual (6'6" and 230lbs+) with extensive martial arts training, and I'm positive even with adrenaline and some previous self defense training, he could easily overpower me. He hasn't done anything physical that I could get a PPO for, but he is a literal sociopath and master manipulator who I am worried could try to continue to harass me or my family, or worse. The tricky part is, he lived with me at the house I am currently in. So he knows the layout, the exits, the weak points, etc. Unfortunately, moving to a different address is not a viable option due to finances, as much as I would like to. I am assuming he will be living at a relative's house when he is released, and they live about five blocks away from me. Great, right? The other caveat is that in the past I have struggled with suicide and though my partner owns a gun, it is kept locked up and I have no access to it. I'm not 100% opposed to taking a class and keeping the gun more accessible, but I do need to be cautious about that. I do own a large German Shepherd, but he was in her life for a bit when she was a puppy so there's a chance she would recognize him and not be a good deterrent. Besides the obvious, such as changing the locks, what are some ways I can make sure to stay safe and prepared? Cameras? Non-lethal weapons? Motion lights? Alarms? I'm honestly feeling overwhelmed and anxious about this, but I know I need to start getting prepared. I would rather be prepared for the worst and hope for the best than to give this POS any benefit of the doubt. Thank you for reading through this, I understand I am probably at a disadvantage here, but I'm hoping with some time to get things organized, I can feel at least a bit safer in my home when he's released and continue to heal.
I've recently got back into shooting and buying Guns after 15 years. I just recently got a 9mm. I've been looking at guns for home defense, I'm not a very big guy 5'6 130 pounds. I was looking at the maverick 88 youth 20-gauge because I haven't shot a shotgun in ages. I think it's for the younger crowd and for beginners.
My biggest worry is the recoil. I know I'll need to practice with it. however, I wanted something a little smaller Because of the hallways and I can "control" better. I guess I'm not looking to jack up my shoulder and being completely useless in a bad spot.
Does anyone have any better recommendations or would this be an ideal gun for starting out? I don't want to use the 9mm as some people worry about the neighbors and causing harm to others if the bullet manages to go a wall or something. (That's the argument I hear most). I'm just looking for a little insight thank you.
So ive Been hearing a voice talking in our bedroom very creepy
Been telling family and friends for months and recording many videos. Just wanted to have this on record in as many places as possible
I'm terrified that I'm being stalked watched having sex the whole 9 yards. Worried about being attacked. Just hope it goes away but getting more aggressiveI 'm putting it everywhere in writing and video and everything
I need help.
I am trying to figure out the best configuration for this property I am currently on. Excuse the crude drawing, it is fairly accurate to the dimensions, I just didn't want to use a real image due to easy geolocation reverse lookup.
People come from ALL directions all the time. The issue I am running into is the sheer amount of blind spots due to the trees, windows, doors, front porch awning (which has pillars on it), and finally the extrusion in the back that sticks out slightly causes occlusion for two different doors.
I know I could just add 10+ cameras, but I am wondering if any of you know a good configuration that would handle this well? I can't even think of a way that would cover most of it without 8 cameras, minimum
In case it matters. I am likely going to go with a Reolink 24 channel PoE system (16 poe inputs).
Does anyone know what kind of security system this is - what security provider issues this equipment in Ontario? Bell? Telus? ADT?
I moved into a rental and it was already there. The landlord said that a previous tenant might have installed it (or previous owner) and he doesn't have the code and doesn't know what provider, maybe Rogers he said. I contacted Rogers and they don't serve our area so it can't be them.
It's just me and my daughter in the house, plus pets, and we would feel a lot safer if we had an alarm system. Since the equipment is already here it makes sense to go with the company that provides it (to save on the equipment cost and install) but I have no clue who it is.
To clarify, I’m looking for video doorbells.
Glock 19 with Silencer Central cheap can and Syntech Defense ammo. GordyHeatBloodDiamond AR with Griffin can and 55gr JSP. AP5-P with Rugged Obsidian tri-lug and 147gr Ranger T. 870 SBS with 8 pellet Flite Control, that and Winchester Segmented slugs on the sidesaddle. The Glock is a nightstand gun, the AP5-P and AR are in the front row of the safe in my room, the 870 is staged in a hidden compartment near the safe room. I don't have small kids and my house is concrete block on a large lot.
So I found what looks to be a hidden camera plugged into my bathroom outlet…. Not sure how long it has been there but didn’t notice it because it is inside a charger brick. But it has a small lens and when I pulled it out of the wall it has what looks like a spot for a small SD card.
I share a bathroom with my sister and we are the only ones who live there. I am worried about her because I work nights so she’s often home alone. Trying to figure out who would have done it because We don’t typically have guests over besides her friends, and I have one rule when I’m not home is just that she doesn’t invite any guys over who I have not met at least once. So I’m trying to wrap my head around who would put it there. I have no idea how these things work but I am leaning on the idea that some guy might have bugged our place so I am looking around for more of them.
Don’t really know what else to do. Does anyone know like how these things work? Do they need to grab the SD card or can does it work with our wifi? Or do you just plug it in and you can see it from miles away?
