Protector Plus Wireless Voice Dialer Security System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I have looked at X-10 products in the past, I never purchased any because I thought the quality would be poor. When I purchased this system, I did not know it was an X-10 product, and I probably would not have considered buying it if it had been advertised as such. However, after everything was installed, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised.
This package, as it comes to your door, is comprehensive enough to provide very good house coverage. I am impressed with the total number of accessories provided. The console has a built in horn. An additional small powerhorn is included in the package. Both horns, however, just didn't have enough 'ooomph' as far as I was concerned. I added three additional large powerhorns, two more rocket lamp modules, and two more motion detectors to the system. Everything works without a hitch.The five horns literally make it unbearable to remain in the house. Five lights flash on and off when the alarm sounds also. In addition to this, the console will dial up to four phone numbers and play a recorded message to the person(s) it calls. The person is also given the option to press a number and 'listen in' to the home to try and determine if there really is a problem. I was concerned that if someone decided to simply break a window glass, they could get into the house without sounding the alarm by sliding the window up and breaking the magnetic contacts. The four motion detectors take care of that problem. Each motion detector can be set to sound the alarm after detecting one movement or two movements (to cut down on false alarms). And, you can set the remote control to arm the doors and windows - without arming the motion detectors - while you are home. That way you can move freely throughout the house without setting off the alarm. When you leave the house, you can also set the alarm to 'arm' everything including the motion detectors. The motion detectors have an approximate 40' range. You can have a total of up to 16 motion detectors, or door/window sensors, or up to 8 keychain remotes, or up to 8 handheld security remotes, OR any combination of these up to 16 total. I don't know for sure, but it seems like you can add any number of horns or lamp modules (for flashing the lights).
Be advised that it does take a little time to install if you decide to put in all the door/window sensors. You also need to buy a LOT of alkaline AA and AAA batteries.
My finished system has four motion detectors, nine window/door sensors, two keychain remotes, one security remote. This is a total of 16 items that are keyed into the console. In addition, there are five horns, including the one built into the console and five light modules. We have approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of room. The console is centrally located. There is no problem with it 'reaching' the sensors. The furthest sensor from my console is about 60 feet away. As an added benefit, every sensor 'checks in' with the console every 90 minutes. If there is a problem (such as low battery), the appropriate zoned light on the console will flash. The console also has a battery backup to retain information and allow limited alarm use. Out of the box, this system is very similar to what our apartment complex installed in all the individual apartments when I was living in the city. It really is a good system.

DOOR SWEEP FLIP SEAL 36" Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Horrible product. Spring did not work on arrival. Even if it did work, there is no way this product would last long. There is just one "spring" (a bent metal rod) in the middle of the door sweep that flips the door sweep up. This mechanism is cheap and does not work well.

Q-See QS408-803-5 Precision Recording Security System with 8 Indoor/Outdoor CCD Cameras and Pre-Installed 500GB Hard Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my first q-see DVR (digital video recorder) about 3 years ago right here on amazon.com. It was known as a "PENTAPLEX" which meant you could do 5 things at the same time - record live video from multiple channels, backup the hard disk, view video remotely over the internet, view video locally on a TV set, and search through recordings to find out who took your recycle bin full of cans. Pentaplex and Triplex are names given as to how many activities the unit can do simultaneously.
That unit is still running after driving the neighborhood drug dealers out of their rent free abandoned home (and having them arrested numerous times - it povided key evidence of license plate numbers, video of drug deals going down, spousal abuse -- you name it the police department got it. For that matter the PD could log in over the internet to check up on who was there if they wanted to)
I live on a 2 block long road full of modern quiet 4500 sq ft homes, and across from me was a 60 year old 931 sq ft original house that had become the neighborhood drug hangout - a place to go smoke a bowl, ride your motorcycle through the front door of the house and out the back, to hook up with the homies, etc. It definitely did not fit in - the crime rate rose - the house adjacent to the drug house was robbed 5 times in 3 months. Both me and my next door neighbor installed MONITORED alarms and we formed our own neighborhood watch. His was a .357 and mine was a 9mm.
The Q-see was instrumental in getting rid of the trash. It provided numerous photographic enlargements of license plates, video evidence used in court to convict the individual squatting there, and more 30 second drive by drug deals than I could count, happening every 3-5 minutes right in front of my house.
I installed 8 cameras covering every angle possible, 2 PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom - like the casino's use) domes that I could controll remotely over the internet to see what is going on if I was not home, and motion detectors, microphones - all of this was OVERT meaning it was blatant that you were on camera if you came nearby - I had to put up a sign because legally I could not record voice without notifying the people (video is OK) due to wiretapping laws that are outdated, so I put my sign on the 60 year old tree in front of my house warning people they were under video and audio surveilance. In 3 months we had the dealers out, the rightful owners back, they had to demolish the house because it was so badly damaged, and then they built a brand new 4500 sq ft home in keeping with the neighborhood.
About Q-see
Q-see brings the $12,000 DVR that the casinos use to catch card cheats down to the price a homeowner can afford. I recommend any home first install a MONITORED alarm system and make it BLATANT that one is in place (big bell box outside in a conspicuous place) - this will rid yourself of 90% of the crime because criminals know where to look for these and when they find them, they walk on to your neighbor's house to rob instead. After an alarm comes video evidence of WHO did WHAT and WHEN with PROOF. Q-see gives you this.
What do all the numbers mean? What is H.264?
When dealing with video (which is inherently analog) and you go to digitize it, you would normally find yourself swamped in data, because video is 30 pictures per second, each 740x480, full color (or b&W at night with IR vision cameras). Imagine a 1.3 megapixel camera taking 30 pictures per second - your memory card would be full in a couple minutes at the most.
The broadcast industry faced the same problem when the FCC mandated that they "go digital" recently - there was not enough room on a channel to put raw high definition television. So they did what we do on our PCs when we have a bunch of files - they compressed them. This process is known as coding and decoding and is abbreviated CODEC for those of us who dont like to type alot. MANY codecs exist - divx, h.264, h.263, mjpeg, etc. H.264 however crams the best quality picture into the smallest amount of disk space. It's used by the satellite providers to give you more channels than they could without it. Best of all, it's free. No royalties to pay.
You're going to hear alot about frames per second. 1 video channel is 30 frames per second. That's for one camera. If you have 8 cameras, then it 8 times 30 or 240 frames per second that your 8 camera DVR must record (if you want smooth free flowing video like you are accustomed to on TV) - now you don't need free flowing video - you can cut from 30 to 15 frames per second and still get reasonably smooth video. The point is that any DVR has a limit as to how many FPS (Frames per Second) it can record. You get to decide which cameras get the best picture, and which ones only take 2 pictures per second (as an example) if you do not have 240 frames per second.
The second number to throw at you is resolution. VGA is 640x480 and is about VHS quality. HD is 1920x1080 and will blow your mind after being accustomed to VGA quality video (blu ray is done in HD as an example) In the world of surveilance video - the more pixels you choose to record, the less time you can record on a disk. So they invented QVGA - which stands for quarter vga - they divide a VGA screen into 1/4ths and you are left with 320x240. That's cell phone size video - and when you see it blown up onto a big screen tv set it looks pretty bad. Another standard is CIF which is 352x288 pixels - better than qvga, but not as good as VGA (about VHS or the old video standard).
What I like about this product is you can configure how much quality you assign from the product's ability to record to each camera. That way the cameras for areas where people are standing (front door for example) take 3 frames per second of CIF or VGA quality video. The cameras that cover high speeed motion - the street with cars zooming by or the sidewalk with bicycles, they can record at 30 frames per second for smooth video. Again - for 8 channels you need 240 frames per second to record all 8 channels at full framerate (30 FPS).
The good news!
The 408 from q-see supports 240 frames per second, so every camera can have full motion video. Cameras 1 and 2 are special though, as they are sampled at a higher resolution called D1 or 702x408 pixels (sure beats CIF) while cameras 3-8 are recorded at CIF resolution. I've been getting by on JUST CIF for 3 years, so this is a step up!
Can I Install it? Is it legal?
I am not an attorney, so this is not legal advice, but from what I found on the net, you can record video of your property without giving notice. However, this product can also record audio. To do that you must put up a sign in a conspicuous place that tells passers by that video and audio surveilance is in use - then you are compliant with all the laws.
Can you install it - probably if you can wire an 8 track player into your 1977 buick. Here's what you need to know.
1 - everything you will need is on amazon.
2 - I've reviewed most of it so read my reviews
3 - my email is in my profile so if you get stuck email me
4 - every camera needs 2 things - a video connection and 12 volts to run the camera. x 8 cameras and you will want a 12 volt power panel like the one I reveiwed here: Q-See QS1018 12 Volt 12 AMP Power Distribution Panel Connects 18 Cameras
5 - should you decide to record audio, you will need 1 - a microphone for each channel (8 of them) 2 - a mic to line level amplifier (about $20) 3 - some microphone cable. This gets into recording gear - the sennheiser C2 is a good deal since you get 2 mics in a set, 4 sets would get you 8 mics, and they are very sensitive - able to hear a whisper at 100 feet. But they need preamps. ART Tube MP Microphone Preamp Here's just one example - it will only handle one microphone, and costs more than the mic, so you might look around for 8 channel preamps beause the microphone needs 48V to run itself, and it gives you a very low level output on a XLR connector (3pin pro stuff) - and you need to amplify that .007 volt signal to about .700 volts (100x or 20dB for those who speak dB) to run the line level inputs of the 408. Of course you could opt to just have 2 microphones.
6 - what's this I hear about night vision - it it that expensive military stuff? No. How night vision works is when the sun goes down a sensor tells the camera to turn on a whole bunch of IR LEDs (infrared light emitting diodes) - these look to have a dull red glow to you, but 36 of them shining into your front yard is like a 1000W light turned on. Best part is the subject walking through can't tell - the infrared spectrum is beyond what us humans can see - so it still looks dark, except on your camera, where although its black and white, it is fully detailed with facial recognition possible.
7 - How about motion detection - can these replace those alarm motion sensors. The answer is: it depends. Inside, I'd say yes, but outside, I'd say no. The reason is that IR is not visable to HUMANS, but BUGS love the stuff, especially spiders who spin webs over your camera lenses where it's nice and bright at night. And that spider will trigger any motion detector - even if you kill off all the spiders, the number of flying insects that love IR light is amazing. Every night I capture about 50-80 bugs flying through a motion capture zone.
8 - what is a motion capture zone? Your camera brings back a big area - as much as the lens lets it see - but you may not want to capture the entire area, just a sub...Read more›

Twin Draft Guard (Brown) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The three twin draft guards arrived today which was surprisingly fast. They will work on my doors because the doors aren't routinely used. One is an attic door and two are closet storage doors. I was also surprised by the fact that the guards are not 36" as advertised. They come in two lengths of 18" each. This difference in configuration, 2 pieces as opposed to 1 piece might not work well for some doors.

AAS 300 Wireless Home Security Alarm System Kit DIY (R) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)(Delailah is my wife's name) I moved from Scottsdale (upper end area in Arizona) to Victorville, California (federal prison, lower end type town) because of a great job offer. I am married and have 3 young children. I did not want to hire a commercial home alarm company or sign up for a service. The last time we did this and I moved ealier than expected, I paid a $600 penalty to buy-out of the contract with the alarm company (the big one with blue signs that look like little stop signs).
So I did a lot of online research. I am a Harvard-trained physician so I am very particular and careful. Though obviously there is no perfect system, the AAS 300 Wireless Home Security Alarm System seemed to offer the most bang for the buck.
It has many of the features of expensive professionally-installed systems. Here is a summary:
1. The components are reliable, robust, and well-packaged.
2. You can easily expand the system by buying additional sensors, detectors, etc. tax-free and with no shipping costs directly from the company (website included in instructions).
3. I have read the complaints about numbering the remotes and I believe they are unfounded. If you read the instructions carefully and understand the system, you will understand why there are certain numbers dedicated for certain types of sensors/detectors.
4. Read the instructions 2 times BEFORE starting set-up.
5. Lay all the parts out on a table and take your time. You will see the door/window sensor are assigned certain numbers while motion and glass break sensors are assigned different numbers. This allows the system to keep track of sensors that should be on when you are at home, and sensors that should only be on when you are not at home - so the system will NOT respond to motion detectors while you are at home. (You would activate the "Home" rather than "Away" button). Otherwise, when you got up in the night to get a drink of water, you would set off the motion detector and trigger the alarm. When you press "Away" the motion detectors are recognized.
6. After you assign each sensor to the alarm system, you then install them at each door and window. i.e. Sensor 01 Front Door, Sensor 02 Kitchen Window, Sensor 03, Girl's Bedroom, etc. Type the numbers and assigned areas out and tape the printout to your main system's keypad. When the alarm is triggered you will know which area has been breached.
7. There is a back up battery in case electrical power is shut off. The loud alarm will still function without electricity. In fact, my alarm system went off. I went home to find out that the electrical company had shut off electrical power to the neighborhood for maintenance/repair. So I believe the system is designed to alarm when it detects that electrical power has been cut off.
8. When programming your system, I would NOT connect your sirens like the instructions tell you to. Do that LAST as if you accidentally turn them on while programming all your equipment, you will find out the hard way that they are VERY LOUD AND EAR-PIERCING (PERFECT to scare burglars but painful when 2 feet away and aimed directly at your ear).
9. There is a strobe light that turns on to further scare off would-be intruders. The strobe unit also has a siren sound.
10. The burglar could unplug your main siren, but the strobe light/siren unit would serve as a backup to continue making a sound. If you want, you could order several of these and scatter them throughout the house, hiding some behind the bed, etc. The burglar would be confused and probably woult not take time to hunt down each one and unplug.
11. The remote controls are encased in a beautiful pearl white case, simlar to the paint jobs on certain Lexus vehicles. The remote allows you to activate Away, Home, and Panic modes.
12. I ordered a dedicated Panic button remote for my kids. It has a BIG RED button that they can run to and press to activate the alarm. We keep this Panic remote at home at all times (the other remotes are on our key chains - they have 4 buttons and the kids might not know which little button is the panic button on the standard remote).
13. The system can call up to six telephone numbers when the alarm is activated. It was easy to program and it works. I programmed 2 cell phones and 2 land lines and it sequentially called all 4 numbers. It will keep calling until you deactivate remotely by phone (see instructions).
14. There is even a way to call out from the alarm system utilizing wireless communication, but you have to get a chip and a wireless service. I did not bother with this.
15. You can link the system to a smoke and gas detector alarm as well.
16. You can get pet-friendly motion detectors so your pets do not activate the alarm.
17. You can set up so the alarm will go off if the phone line is cut/interrupted or of another device is operating on the same frequency. (I did not do this because I live in a duplex and do not want the neighbor complaining if the phone service gets cut off during a storm (for example), but if I were in a stand-alone house with a large yard, I definitely would activate this feature).
NOTE: THE MOTION DETECTORS SENSE HEAT, AND I HAD SEVERAL FALSE ALARMS WHEN THE HEATER TURNED ON, CAUSING HOT AIR TO BLOW IN THE SENSING ZONE OF THE MOTION DETECTOR. SOLUTIONS: 1. EITHER SHUT HEATER OFF WHEN LEAVING HOUSE 2. IF YOU NEED TO HAVE THE HEATER ON (i.e. SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES TO PREVENT PLUMBING LINES FROM FREEZING, CRACKING, AND LEAKING) THEN SHUT THE MOTION DETECTOR SWITCHES OFF (SWITCH ON SIDE OF ACTUAL MOTION DETECTOR) 3. OR YOU CAN HIT "HOME" INSTEAD OF "AWAY" MODE (EVEN THOUGH YOU AREA LEAVING THE HOUSE) AND THE MOTION DETECTORS WILL NOT SENSE THE HEAT FROM THE HEATER - BUT YOU LOSE PROTECTION HERE BECAUSE IF AN INTRUDER BREAKS THE GLASS AND DOES NOT ACTUALLY SIDE A WINDOW FRAME OPEN THEN HE BYPASSES YOUR ALARM SYSTEM. LIKEWISE, I WOULD NOT PUT MOTION DETECTOR IN THE GARAGE AS IT MIGHT SENSE HEAT AS IT BUILDS UP DURING THE SUMMER, TRIGGERING A FALSE ALARM.
REDUNDANT LAYERS OF PROTECTION:
1. If any window or door is opened, the alarm turns on. This is your FIRST LAYER OF PROTECTION.
2. The sensor only activates the alarm if the window is opened. If the window is broken and the intruder enters WITHOUT sliding the window frame open, the sensor will NOT activate the alarm. THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE MOTION DETECTOR. It will be your SECOND LAYER OF PROTECTION. The movement of the intruder will activate the alarm.
4. You need to place motion detectors strategically to cover all major zones in your property/house.
TWO CRITIQUES:
1. The glass break sensor that I purchased separately was a disaster. While programming it something happened to the alarm system. Even when it was OFF (DISARMED) it would suddenly go off. The alarm system indicated the glass had been broken. Even after unplugging (deactivating) the glass break sensor, the alarm system was stuck in this mode of thinking that the glass had been broken and kept alarming EVEN WHEN DISARMED. I had to deprogram ALL THE SENSORS and reprogram them. As I did this, I found it very touchy. Pressing the wrong button while re-programming each sensor on the doors, windows, and the motion detectors caused the alarm system to "jam" again and keep alarming even when DISARMED. I had to re-program the system about 11 times. Not only did I have to clear all the sensors, I had to RESET the system to the FACTORY SETTINGS and I lost all my programming data. When I meticulously focused on reprogramming, I finally got it right - except I did not have the glass detector programmed any longer. I am returning this unit and obtaining 2 more motion detectors to replace it. SUGGESTION: DO NOT USE THE REMOTES TO RE-PROGRAM THE ALARM SYSTEM SENSORS IF YOU HAVE TO ERASE THE SENSORS FROM MEMORY. IF YOU DO AND PRESS THE WRONG BUTTON ON THE REMOTE, THE ALARM SYSTEM MAY GET STUCK IN A MODE AND KEEP ALARMING EVEN WHEN UNPLUGGED AND EVEN WHEN DISARMED (If this happens, turn the alarm OFF - the switch is inside the key pad unit, found through the little rectangular hole at the bottom). WHEN DOING THIS, OF COURSE UNPLUG ALL THE SIRENS (NOISE-MAKERS) UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE HEARING DAMAGE. RE-PROGRAM ONLY USING THE KEYPAD ON THE MAIN UNIT.
Because I had to reset it to factory settings, I had to reprogram all 4 remotes, all the sensors, the time-delays, my personal 4-digit pass code, and the auto-dialed phone numbers. It was very frustrating, but in the end I got it to work. Plan on spending 4 to 8 hours to fix the system if it gets "jammed" like mine did.
2. The delay time for the alarm to activate sirens and strobe lights once it is triggered by a sensor can be set from 1 to 30 minutes. If you program a 60 second delay time, this is good for when you return to the house. You open the front door and you have 60 seconds to shut the alarm off by punching your 4-digit code in. However, even in the "Home" or "Panic" modes, when the alarm is activated there will still be a 60-second delay before the loud sirens and strobe lights are turned on by the system. If you are at home and someone opens the window, you probably would want the alarm to make noise and flash bright lights immediately and NOT wait 60 seconds. You can set the time to 0 seconds in which case the siren and strobe lights would sound right away. The trade-off here would be that you would have to use your remote to shut off the alarm BEFORE your open the front door. If you forget, the alarm will go off as soon as your open the door (even in the "Away" mode).
In addition to this alarm system, you can add your own deterrants.
Buy a chime/noise maker that detects motion when someone is at your front your back door.
Buy a motion detector that...Read more›

Stanley Hardware 80-4005 Solid Brass Window Sash Lock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I enjoy the overall look of the locks and after a couple of years they have held-up well.
My only complaint is that they don't seem to lock as tight as the typical sash lock. Because they grasp the outside sash from above and behind, instead of locking underneath, they don't feel as secure. Let's face it, if a burglar wants to get in, a simple sash lock is not going to stop them but still, the older style gives a little more protection. It's really a trade off, a better look for a little less protection. I'd recommend them for 2nd floor windows or in a neighborhood that is safer. (if there are any 'safe' neighborhoods left!)
Good luck!
