Are Bad Guys Monitoring Social Media For Opportunities?

May 19th, 2011 GuestPoster

When do the bad guys usually strike your home or office for a burglary? Usually it happens at night or while you are away from home. Sometimes the bad guys will hit during the day but more often than not is under the cover of darkness.

As a security consultant I have noticed a new trend emerging that is disturbing for me. It seems that social media is playing a large part in the security of our homes and business with people who have loose lips and want to tell the world their every move. How many times do you see people on Facebook posting that they will be away from home for 2 weeks while on vacation? This is really a stupid move and you are telling the bad guys that you will be gone and go break into my house. If you are going to do something silly like this you better have or be looking into video surveillance systems for your home or business.

I have been doing security for over 20 years now. I never thought it would come to this. I go through a checklist when I meet with a client for the first time. I have added a few things to my checklist when I meet with a new or existing client. I ask them about their social media profiles and how active they are with postings. It is extremely important that you do not give away clues about the security of your property online. Even if you are only going to be gone for 2 hours to a soccer game for your child, you should not post such things on Twitter and Facebook. Wireless surveillance cameras will give you a certain degree of safety and a warm fuzzy feeling while you are away from your home. Make sure your home alarm system will interact with a smartphone such as an iPhone or Android. That will allow you to view live security video of your home while you are away. For goodness sakes, stop telling everyone where you are going everyday. Your home will be much safer.

Protecting Your Home When Away

As a parent, there are times when you are not home, rather you operate an online data entry from home business or outside the home…you have to work, shop and run errands, so it is impossible to be home 24 hours a day.  While you are away, worrying about the safety of your children should not be a concern.  Wireless outdoor security cameras have the ability to monitor the home while you are away and you can view what is happening on a laptop or the computer at the office.

Teaching Children to Be Safe

There are several ways to protect your home while you are away and the children should be taught safety measures.  Teach the children to never answer the door while their parents are away and should the answer the telephone, the child should never say the parents are not home but busy at the moment.  Outdoor security cameras for your home gave offer a peace of mind, in that you would be able to watch over a monitor who is on the property.

Stay Within Budget

Olympus Pen Camera Review

March 19th, 2011 Tech Guru

The Olympus PEN E-PL2 is a great companion when what you are after is either a camera for when you travel, or for people who are into more casual photography. Overall it is an impressive camera for its class and at times can even be on par with DSLR’s. These are big rivals to the Canon Powershot S95.

As a travel companion, this camera is very light and portable at a weight of just 2.6 pounds. This makes it great for people on the move who want their camera at the ready constantly for those once-in-a-lifetime photos. The lightness is also a sigh of relief for those who travel with their bulky SLR’s hanging heavily around their necks. However, quality is not sacrificed as it takes amazing 12.3 megapixel photos, which sacrifices no detail. The built-in image stabilizing system eliminates the problem of blurry photos and videos for those on-the-move shots. The E-PL2 also comes with a variety of scene selection modes to optimize photos in any situation. And for the more creative people, the new Live Guide system allows you to apply photographic effects in real time so you can see the outcome of your edited photographs even before you take the picture. Lastly, video recording can be done in an instant if you so choose, as toggling between photographs and videos can be done instantly just by pressing either the shutter with your index finger or the record button with your thumb for videos, with no quality sacrificed as videos can be taken in High Definition 720p at 30 frames per second with high-quality sound and comes with 6 filters to add a different atmosphere for your videos.

And after you’re done taking photographs, showing off your work can be done very easily and in a number of ways. The PENPal Bluetooth accessory allows you to directly transfer images via Bluetooth to your laptops, smartphones, and other PENPal devices so you can easily share your work via Facebook, Flickr, and other sites. The HD cable also allows you to view your images directly on any HD television.
