Security

Brilliant, simply Brilliant ole boy...How about this bonus gift if you call in the next 60 seconds, you get an outdoor loud speaker that when the smell spritz goes off it triggers a recording of Cujo growling, snarling, and salivating like he's about to have nemo and the boys for lunch...Yep that would work and I'm down for this idea and I also want one to put in my bosses chair at work......

[Bawanna]

The tape recording of Cujo briefly entered my thoughts but I'm giving you full credit for that solid idea. I think we really got something here, I think they'll sell like hula hoops myself and I can't wait to start worrying about how people are gonna steal my share of the money. I think I'll do that worrying on my ranch in Wyoming.

We gotta think up a catchy name for it. Names sell and of course find a model turning up her nose at our disgusting product.

Poop Guard, Poop Patrol, have to give this some thought. Also need a catchy slogan.

How bout a blow up Cujo to go along with the recorded growling? Man this inventing stuff is tiring, we're just gonna have to have a bored meeting.

How about Protecto Poop with scent guard...

My system has a battery backup. its fully monitored for entry, IR motion, heat/smoke. The cost of the monitoring service $255/year is almost completely covered by the discount on my homeowner's insurance. Most people buy thier first security system right after thier first break-in. Mine was already in place and a burglar was caught and sentenced when it happened to me. Police response time was 2.5 minutes and I live in the sticks, but then again, the county sheriff is my neighbor and he is also an old shooting buddy. HeHe.

I used to help install these systems with my uncle. I was just the grunt run this wire from here to there, he was the brains.

You gotta be careful with the infared motion sensors as they will pick up pets and balloons or curtains that move. If they are aimed at a window they'll pickup outside movement sometimes too. The sun will effect them. An installer should work all that out. We were big into inside traps also. Put contacts on a door that don't seem important like a guest closet or any door that just don't make sense to put a switch on.
Theres ways around everything but mix and match and put obstacles in the bad guys path and they will look for easier pickings.

And of course don't forget the protecto poop with scent guard. It's getsome recommended. Available soon.

Well, I go to work and come home to find very many good ideas. Thanks guys, you're the best. Right now I'm looking at motion sensative video recorders that look like regular outdoor lights. They have battery back-up and each come with their own video recording ability. I think I would prefer them all tied to a DVR as well if possible. Some have alarm and / or barking dog capabilities as well. My main concern on the audio alarm is what if the darned thing goes off because of some critter on the property and I don't return to property for several days. I would hope the alarm times out.

I already use dog dishes by the door, a dog chain out in the yard, barbed wire on fence at perimeter of property. The dog poop is scattered around the yard but only of moderate proportions. Not the mongo size piles Bawanna is selling.

I'm going to re read Tilos post. Seems some good ideas in there I can use too. Dusty

My homeowners policy requires a special rider for weapons and jewelry. Neither of those items is covered under the basic policy.

I did the gun video thing.
I took ALL my guns out, at once, and then asked my wife to video while I picked up each one to show both sides.
ALL my guns out...showing them to my wife....BIG MISTAKE.

So now, when my wife's not at home, I take digital images of each gun, do a close up of the serial number, filled with baby powder and my driver's license in the same shot.
Put them on a thumb drive...done.

[Bawanna]

Thats what I do also except for the drivers license. Thats a good idea right there. I have the thumb drive on me all the time. Also downloaded to my work computer so get another chance if things go wrong.

[Tilos]

I like the fake dog poo idea.
But I don't need the fake stuff

I'm sending in my order for the protecto poop now, but I have practicle jokes in mind. Also I need extra scent refills.

Watch out pesky neighbor :001_tt2:

Cameras are a waste of time and money

Cameras area a waste of time and money. I have personally seen the videos of several homes and businesses that have been robbed that had cameras. Yep, it was all there on camera... and did nothing to prevent the theft or capture the thief.

In spite of your remote location, focus on noise. Including and especially noise inside the house. When my alarm goes off, the alarms INSIDE the house are so loud you can not stand to stay in the house.

[OldLincoln]

^^^ That's us too. I had the alarm guy mount a large noise maker inside. Like yours, really loud and I doubt a bad guy will stick around.

[Tilos]

Yep, noise inside.
Those peizo beepers I mentioned in my other post are about a one inch cube.
With them everywhere, the noise source cannot be located to disable.
If the DB leave, the controller resets and re-arms.

The yard sign and window stickers should still be your 1st line of defense.
You will never know when they worked though.

just sayin'

What is DB? so the alarm sound times out and then resets?
