Small size multiple functions and affordability are what make the UFO Alarm a great home and personal protection tool.

On location, you would never guess this UFO is an alarm at all. Measuring 2.5 inches wide, it is available in mint green, soft pink, silver, black, sky blue and white. The UFO Alarm boasts and ear-piercing 120 dB siren and super-bright LED flashlight.

Minimal assembly is required. It comes with a mini screw driver so you can install the included 12-volt Battery and keychain attachment. Reassemble the alarm and use it as a burglar alarm, door/window alarm, drawer/cupboard alarm, personal alarm or use the light to find your keys or unlock your house. Included is a load of accessories for the different functions as well as in depth picture tutorials for using the UFO Alarm.

Patented and innovative design allows the alarm to be armed from the outside using the alligator clip and rubber shim.

Finally, the price is what makes this alarm so appealing. This six-function home and personal alarm is available for $35.00. This is great news for someone that doesn’t want to have the money to spend on a professional alarm system or monthly monitoring fees. My wife loves taking this alarm along with her on business trips now. She uses it in her hotel room at night and when she goes to the hotel gym early in the morning. This alarm combined with her favorite Pepper Spray keeps her safe while traveling.

When you have a baby, it is time to think about childproofing the house so that when your baby is old enough to crawl, he or she is not a victim of a terrible accident. There are things a child can get into that you can scarcely imagine, so you have to get down and think like a child in order to protect your baby or toddler from danger. Let’s take a look at some childproofing products you will need to make your home safe for your little one.

· Electrical cords and curtain cords: Put these up and out of the way from your baby and tape down or hide electrical cords so your baby wont chew or pull on them.
· Electrical outlets: Use plastic outlet covers to keep the unused outlets protected from your baby’s fingers. You can also put all electrical outlets behind furniture.
· Radiators: You’ll need a barrier to protect your baby from radiator burns. Put a radiator cover on radiators to keep most of the dangerous heat away from your baby’s touch.
· Plants in the house: These can be poisonous if ingested. Call the local poison control office to determine which are poisonous and which are not.
· Cabinets and drawers: Use latches that protect your child and keep him or her from getting into dangerous drawers and cabinet doors.
· Keep a glass door or screen on fireplaces and watch your baby if the fireplace is going as this can be very dangerous.
· Put in baby safety gates at the top and bottom of staircases so your baby cannot fall and get injured. Gates at the top of stairs must be screwed in, not pressure styles.
· Make sure that anything with slats has no more than a five inch space between the slats or posts. Your baby can get his or her head stuck in them quite easily.

These are all great ideas to think about before your baby is born or as soon as your baby comes home. It won’t be long before your baby can roll and crawl and it is a good idea to think ahead. Put away all things you don’t want your baby to get into and even consider putting away things like coffee tables that have sharp corners.

While it is easy to want your child to explore and learn about things, you really need to pay attention to hazards as well. Childproofing your home is a fairly simple task and will make a big difference in the potential for injuries and accidents. A good Childproofing Kit can be an enormous start.kindergard.jpg

These days, you can never be too safe, at home or your business. Crooks are everywhere looking to make money by taking what you have and selling it. Security is no longer something for big banks and jewelry stores, if you have something of value at your home in your business, you need to protect it. Systems these days are much more complicated than they used to be but they are also less expensive. Wireless hidden cameras and motion detectors are standard practice for homes and business that need increased security.

As you shop in your favorite store, make sure you smile pretty for the camera. No matter where you are in the store, chances are good that there is a camera pointed in your direction. Sometimes they are visible, but in most cases, the store has installed wireless hidden cameras to keep an eye on customers. These can be hidden in the strangest, and smallest places. Unless you are doing something wrong, you will never know that they are there.

Wireless hidden cameras are very popular as a business security measure. They are very small and can be place about anywhere since they have no wires. Stores with high value merchandise may have many scattered about to catch shoppers from every angle. Since they are so tiny and can be hidden behind or on top of anything you probably won’t even be able to find them unless you look very hard.

Those who are vigilant about security may wish to install the same type of wireless hidden cameras at home. Not only used a deterrent for burglars, a wireless hidden camera can keep track of what happens inside your home. If you have outside people coming in to cook, clean, or take care of the kids you may want to think about monitoring them to ensure that work is done properly and that your staff is honest.

The best place to find a wireless hidden camera is online. You can also find night vision cameras and motion sensors if you want added security. If you prefer, you can find these products at a local specialty shop. Be clear about what type and level of security you are looking for so you don’t buy too much.

(1) The Cyber Eye is a digital surveillance camera that senses the image of an intruder and automatically records and saves it to memory. It’s easy to install and very small (2-1/4″ High X 3-1/4″ Wide X 3″ Deep).

This infrared B/W digital surveillance camera will take pictures automatically whenever someone moves in front of it and then digitally store the pictures within the micro-camera. This allows you to retrieve them later just by plugging the camera into your TV/VCR.

The Cyber-Eye is a Great Free Standing Digital Camera!

Watch your pets, nanny, babysitter even your kids!
View from any location in the world via the Internet.
Use your computer’s IP address to log on and immediately view live or past video.
