We all want to keep our families as safe as possible. We have door locks, alarm systems, large dogs (or little angry measured). Many of us even have a neighborhood watch, which in most cases consists of a pair of old men with walkie-talkies to walk or ride in the neighborhood occasionally shining flashlights in their substance.
I want you to consider tracking your area as the outer layer of the security of your home network perimeter. Perimeter security is as important as firewalls, anti-virus and wireless security, since all these things will not help if a bad guy comes into the house and steals your computer.
Consider some of the concepts of perimeter security, mixed media with a little social, a pinch of network monitoring and see if we get the old concept of neighborhood watch in the 21st century.
These are some of the high-tech tools and concepts that can be added to your monitoring area to try to do a little more efficient:
1 Use Google Maps to investigate the security situation your neighborhood
Google Maps can be used by criminals to the virtual tour "case" or a place they think of escape. You can draw with Google Street View to simulate front of a house to see how high a fence is where you will find a door, etc.
You can use the satellite view, bird's eye view from Google Maps to neighborhood patrol assignment card, whether a fence neighborhood has some damage, etc. You can also services that use the benefits of Google Maps, how to take spot Crime is a free service, shows you a detailed history of crime in and around your neighborhood. With this information you can determine areas of your neighborhood need additional protection or surveillance.
Two. Use social media to engage your neighbors
Social media is a great way to share information with their neighbors. You can create a Facebook group of neighborhood watch and set it to "private" where only those who are a part of their surveillance systems are allowed access. The restriction of access is a good idea because you probably do not want the bad guys to know the extent to which security measures.
There is a website that offers social-media area called Home Elephant, which monitors integrated with Facebook. Home elephant you can easily reach with your neighbors to create a neighborhood watch watches online with crime, lost property office, district calendar and other functions. Access to the elephant house is free and they even have a free app for iPhone / iPad, the proximity alerts on mobile phone image and event summary, rapid ascent to have.
Encourage the team members of the neighborhood watch, carry their mobile phones with them while on patrol. If you see a suspicious person or vehicle in the area where you can take a photo and upload it to your neighborhood watch group of social networks to immediately know what its looking for.
Three. Surveillance neighborhood settings and put IP cameras recording 24/7
While the two patrolling the neighborhood nursing retirement with walkie-talkie members could SEAL Team Six, also they have to sleep. Surveillance cameras deliver and staring eyes and can stay in 24/7, recording everything that happens in your field of vision.
Waterproof Outdoor cameras are cheaper and easier to install. The Foscam FI8905 is a wireless camera waterproof night vision and sold $ 90 for around U.S.. These cameras can easily be configured before the house of a member of the guard and the entrance to the streets in the neighborhood, and secondary outputs. Access to the camera can be restricted in order to prevent unauthorized access. Feeds can through most web browsers to be viewed without the need for special software.
Since the cameras are accessible from the Internet, a personal computer with software low priced DVR can record register on the local hard drive or on a file server as EvoCam of Evological, the video from multiple cameras and box settings neighborhood watch captain, equipped remote control. If incidents in the region, executives can share the movie with the local police.
Many newer cameras IP security market includes an SD memory card for recording images of a backup in case you temporarily lose your network connection.
Ask questions your neighborhood association, a part of the association dues you pay each year for security budget, the cost of products such as outdoor cameras and other security cover aside.
Encourage neighbors to see the purchase of equipment as their own properties. There is no camera systems very easy and cheap now VueZone as the system is fully wireless motion activated cameras wire can be placed anywhere, and can be accessed via a smart phone.
April. Connect with the local police
Tell the police what to do to protect your environment. Download your clock meeting. Give them access to their neighborhood clock groups and give them social media links to your surveillance camera feeds.
Get. Yourself e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of officials who are responsible for their area To If you see someone or something suspicious transmit to the President a photo and include the time, date, place, and why you thought it was suspicious.
Do your part to make your home a less attractive target 5.
There are many cheap and easy things you can do to strengthen the security of your home. Keep low shrubs decorated around windows and doors. In Projectors landscape Remove all possible hiding areas. In the hardware capacity than armor concepts door frame to prevent the door-to-door into the kick.
Ultimately, the key to a range of effective monitoring program, either high or low-tech, social involvement and active participation. Now go and offer take a patrol shift, until the old man was asleep. Do not forget your flashlight.
