Driveway Alarm Systems
When it comes to keeping your home or business safe and secure, security is something to not take lightly. One of the biggest area's overlooked when installing a security system is the driveway. The driveway is generally the first place someone gains access to your property, homes and businesses. The driveway to your home or business should always be viewed as a key priority when installing a security system.
As with protecting your home you should always start with the basic maintenance of your driveway. Trim or remove all overgrown bushes, shrubs and other plants. By doing this you take away places for people to hide. Next on your list of maintenance is lighting. Here you need to replace burned out light bulbs, repair broken or damages light fixtures to improve your driveways overall lighting. Most burglars do not want to be on display while they are trying to gain access to your home or business.
Good lighting is always a great deterrent. When it comes to lighting you have several options to consider. Electric and solar powered, activated by timers or by motion. Having lights that are activated on timers are great to use while away on business or family vacations. Solar powered lights require no maintenance, you simple position them along your driveway and that's it, they run on automatic from them on. They quietly gather their power from the sun all day and glow brightly all night automatically.
By installing a driveway alert system, every time a vehicle enters your driveway and alarm in your home alerts you to the activity, the same is true with someone walking up your driveway. Monitors can be installed that will allow you to visually see who is coming and going from your driveway without you having to go outside or look out the windows of your home or business.
There are many security systems on the market today that are "DIY" (Do It Yourself) ready if you are a DIY type of person. So if you are planning installing a home or business security system to protect your home or business, be sure not forget to start with your driveway. The longer time you have to react to someone trying to gain access to your home or business the better. Don't be a victim!

Organic Pest Control - Humane Cat, Squirrel, Dog and Deer Repellent
At some point we all have a problem with pests in our gardens. But, most people feel some connection with nature when gardening, and while they want to get rid of those pests they don't want to harm the critters in doing so.
So what are some humane ways to get rid of garden pests? Basically, you need to make them uncomfortable in some way, but not necessarily in a painful way. You can offend one of their senses, but at times doing so offends yours as well.
You can try repellents to scare garden pests away, using scents from predators like fox urine, but that will only repel certain garden pests, and the repellent can wash away in the rain.
You can try a repellent like pepper on the plant surface, but that means the deer or other animal would have actually eaten some of your plants already.
Imagine that you could only stand guard at your garden with a simple garden hose with a sprayer attached, you could be sure of scaring off the most persistent of pests if your were to suddenly spray them for just a few seconds when they approached the garden. And if you were to consistently do so for a week or two, the pest would eventually get frustrated enough to move on. This would work with almost any pest, including deer, dogs, cats, skunks, herons, and even armadillos.
If you could only set this up to be automated, and to work both day and night it wold truly be an organic pest control that would be an effective repellent for all sorts of garden pests. This is the basic idea behind the Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler system. This system has a motion detector built into a sprinkler head, that will automatically spray the intruding pest for just a few seconds, repelling your garden pests while doing them no harm.
So this concept to repel garden pests sounds deceptively simple, almost too good to work. Does it really work that well?

How Covert Are The SecureShot Covert DVR Cameras?
Sadly, theft, child/parent abuse, and vandalism are a way of life for us in the 21st century. Installing a Hidden Camera in your home or business is a wise choice because you will record the unsuspecting criminal doing his thing, with the hidden camera secretly recording their movement for future prosecution. With so many choices on the market, which one do you choose to monitor your home, child, elderly parent, vacation home, boat, or business? If the idea of a covert hidden camera that you can be set up and working without wires, cables, computers, or a degree from DeVry interests you, then you should investigate the SecureShot Covert Digital Video Recorder/Cameras.
The SecureShot Covert DVR Cameras are a cost effective way to monitor your home or small business 24 hours a day/365 days a year. They use brand-named, fully functional consumer items to hide a very small "pinhole" camera. The items perform the normal functions they were intended for, so they are practically impossible to discover by your subject.
The coolest part about the SecureShot cameras are that the video is recorded to removable SD cards inside the item, so there is no camera cable or wires sticking out, nor does it transmit video over the airwaves like standard wireless cameras, broadcasting your image across the neighborhood. They are fully self-contained, and no one will know they are being recorded, unless they have a hidden camera detector, which most people don't own.
They are motion activated, which means they won't record unless there is movement. Once your camera is set in place, you "arm" it by pressing the power button on the included infrared remote control. You will hear a short "beep tone" that lets you know the SecureShot Camera is armed & ready to go.
There are no "tell-tale" extra lights, video cables, or switches which insures a totally covert and secure system. Depending on your needs, you can choose to record either real time black/white or color video, or high-resolution still images. Recording time depends on the size of the SD card. The video records MPEG4 30fps real time video, with a resolution 320 X 240. Or choose JPEG still shot images in a resolution of 640 X 240.
It automatically time/date stamps the video or still images for professional security or law enforcement needs. Every system includes a 512Mb, and 1Gb SD card, and the firmware is upgradeable via the SD slot for future upgrades. It will record 4 hours for each 1 GB, and you can install up to an 8 GB SD card, which will record up to 32 hours of video or tens of thousands of pictures
Changing the cameras settings are a breeze when you connect it to the "Video input" of your TV/Monitor/or VCR with the supplied RCA cable, and pressing the menu button on the remote control. Functions include: set the date and time, switch between 30fps video recording, or high-Resolution still shot recording of 1 image every 3 seconds during motion. The motion activation sensitivity is also adjustable to operate in practically any environment.
You can play back the recorded images or video from the unit by connecting the same RCA cable to your TV/Monitor, and hitting the play button on the remote control. You can also remove the SD card, and play the video on your computer via the included SD card reader. You can adjust the playback speed to 1-2 or 4X. No additional computer software is needed, as Windows Media Player or QuickTime will be able to play the video.
The SecureShot Covert DVR Cameras are a great choice if you don't want a full blown surveillance system, and need to monitor your home, business, boat, or just check up on your child's nanny, or the people who are suppose to be taking care of your elderly parents.

The Motion Activated Lawn Sprinkler - Chase Away Those Critters
For any gardener or landscape lover, you know how difficult it can be to keep animals out of your garden or flowers. It can be a real pain, but now a company has designed a motion activated lawn sprinkler to solve this problem once and for all.
If you are like me, then you have had to deal with rabbits eating your carrots in the garden, or squirrels, dogs and other animals terrorizing your vegetation. Even deer can be a problem for some homeowners.
The motion activated lawn sprinkler uses infrared technology to detect movement around a 105 degree view. When an animal triggers it, water sprays out and scares off the animal.
The unit works day or night and does a great job I must say. As you can imagine it usually only takes one time of getting sprayed with water to keep the animal from returning.
The lawn sprinkler has a built-in stake that you simply stick into the ground and the unit attaches to any garden hose.
It also includes a dial that you can set to adjust the motion detector and another one that will allow you to adjust the force of the spray.
The sprinkler runs on a 6 month 9-volt battery and can keep everything from a small cat to a deer away from the area you have it set up in.
The motion activated lawn sprinkler is an ingenious idea that really works in keeping the animals away.

Wireless Security Systems - Are They Reliable
With crime statistics rising, home security systems are a must have for modern homes. As burglaries become ever more common, homeowners are feeling the necessity of protecting both loved ones and material possessions. There are several different types of wireless security systems on the market today. For home security, both wired and wireless home security systems are available. Each security system has its advantages and disadvantages, which you need to understand.
The primary technology behind wired and wireless security systems is quite different. As the name implies, wireless security systems don't need to be hard wired; they send messages to the master control panel via radio signals. When they were first available, wireless home security systems were more expensive and less reliable than wired systems, but with improvements in technology, wireless is now the home security system of choice for most homeowners.
Compared to wired systems, wireless home security systems offer much easier installation, since there are no wires involved. You need not worry about an electrical power source nor a way of wiring to the master control panel, nor do you have to tear up your walls or floors to run wiring for the system. You do have to replace the batteries periodically in wireless home security systems, which is not necessary in a hard-wired system.
Wireless security systems use essentially the same components as do wired systems. The touch pad, control panel, cameras, sensors, motion detectors, and alarm sirens are all standard equipment in both wired and wireless security systems. Wireless systems rely on radio frequencies to transmit the signals that are generated by the door contacts, window contacts, and vibration and motion activated sensors back to the master control panel.
Even in a wireless security system, the master control panel usually runs on standard A/C house current, and has a battery backup system so that it will continue to function in the event of a power failure or a burglar cutting off power to your home. This feature, as well as portability and ease of installation, are the two main advantages of wireless security systems, which otherwise operate very much like their hard-wired cousins.
Both standard and wireless security systems allow you to install a variety of types of sensors, including cameras and recording equipment, interior motion sensors, interior and exterior motion-activated lights, door and window sensors, and even vibration-sensitive sensors that detect attempts to break glass or forcibly knock down doors.
Before you buy any home security system, survey your home and determine the equipment that you need. Consider which areas you most want to protect, and how you will do so. Be sure to buy a wireless security system that allows for eventual expansion, since you may decide to add features such as driveway sensors, cameras, smoke detectors and carbon-monoxide detectors.
Wireless home security is now reliable and very affordable, and if you are handy, a self-installed wireless security system requires minimal skill and not much time to complete the job.

How to Get Rid of Cats From Your Property
Getting rid of cats from your property can be very simple, you don't have to harm the cat, a one time effective treatment and the cat will never return again. Their are many products available to stop cats from entering your property, these include motion activated water sprinkler, if a cat hates anything more than a dog, it's water.
A dog is another obvious choice, unless you don't like dogs, then this may not an option. Dogs are the arch enemy to the cat, everyone in the world knows that once a cats being chased by a dog, it will never return to that area again.
Plants may not be an obvious choice as a cat repellent, but some plants like the Coleus Canina actually work as an effective barrier against cats. The Coleus Canina emits a foul smell thats cats don't like. This can work great, but unless you plant a lot of these over a large area, this choice of repellent can be inafective.
Lion Poo, is also supposed to work as an effective treatment. I know it sounds crazy, but this can actually work. Lots of Zoos will let you take this away for free, with some charging a very small amount of money. I suggest that this might be a last resort, it sounds very extreme, but in some cases where people have tried everything and nothing has worked, this might be their only chance of getting cats out of their property.
Their are many chemical products that can be purchased from many online retailers and local pet shops, this also maybe a last resort. If the cat is your neighbors, this might cause some friction between you and them, so please take caution when using any non natural products.
