The G20 Summit is all about “Homeland Security” (in addition to other important topics).  But,  what about “your” home security ?   Below is a #mustread  article titled, “P.A.D.”. . . 

But before that . . .

  Did you know that there is a second important museum in Texas dedicated to preserving the history of the assassination of  President John F. Kennedy ?  This “new museum” is called, “The Ruth Paine House Museum” and it’s located in Irving, Texas….

Did you know that Ruth Paine was a Quaker, that Ruth Paine’s father was “connected to the CIA”,  and that Ruth Paine’s husband’s step-father invented the Bell Helicopter ? ? ?

 P.A.D. (Home Security and Safety)

 by

Renee Ashley Baker

 P: Perimeter (Secure Against Intruders).

A: Alert (Yourself and Police of the Emergency).

D: Defense (Lethal and/or Non-Lethal to SURVIVE !).

 “HOME INVADERS” (Rapists, Murderers, Burglars) usually enter a “premises” through an “open window”, an “open  balcony” (sliding patio door), or an “open front” or “open back” door !!!  Remember, when you walk through your front door and head directly into the kitchen or into the bathroom, that “a few seconds” is all the time a “serial killer” or “serial rapist” needs to “try the front door or back door and come in !!!”.  Why not get a door lock that locks behind you but is one that you can re-open with a “code or a fingerprint”?  Every house should have “TWO LOCKS” on all it’s “exterior” (perimeter) doors. 

FIRST “THE PERIMETER”: Your Doors and Windows.

1. Your Front Door “First Lock” (Top Lock) should be a “dead bolt” that uses a key.  Your Front Door “Second Lock” (Bottom Lock) should be a “code or fingerprint lock” that you can open when it LOCKS (quickly) behind you. This way, your family members, friends, boyfriends, and co-workers can’t leave your house and FORGET to “lock the door behind them”.  This way, you are not left unknowingly “vulnerable” inside your own home with an UNLOCKED DOOR !!!

There are “super doors” that are “steel enforced”. There are devices that can “jam” a door (“Door Jam Armour”) and prevent it from being kicked in. But best, is probably to “install” a strong “door lock” and they come in variety from “bio” to “bluetooth”.

1. Deadbolts
2. Schlage: Century Satin Nickel Electronic Entry Door “Deadbolt” with Touchscreen Key Pad.
3. Schlage: Built-In Alarm and Motion Sensor Camelot Touchscreen “Deadbolt”.
4. Schlage: “Biometric Lock” with “Deadbolt”.
5. “The Ultimate” Deadbolt Lock
6. Bluetooth SmartLocks

Ultra LOQ Bluetooth Smartlock w/app (can be operated with “code or fingerprint”).

2. You want your “place of residence” to have “secure windows” like “STORM SHUTTERS” or “secure windows” with “BURGLAR BARS”.  These types of “windows” help fight “prying” burglar tools like screwdrivers and crowbars.  You don’t have to reside in a “storm area” to install “storm shutters” on your windows and “burglar bars” now come with “release latches” so that exiting the house in the event of a “fire” is EASY.
3. Rollodan Shutters (a very good brand).

       b.Window Gates (aka “burglar bars”).

3. You also want your “place of residence” to have “good lighting”.  You should have “light” at your Front Door and “all around the outside” of your house.  This “lighting” should be “BRIGHT” and should be “LARGE” and should be “ALL NIGHT continuous” or “ALL NIGHT motion detecting”.
4. Motion Detect Lighting (with camera).
5. Ring Floodlight.
6. Motion Detect Lighting (without camera)
7. Sharper Image Motion (battery operated)
8. GT Lite Motion Detect Lights.
9. Philips SpotOn Motion Detect LED Lights.
10. Indoor Lighting (“smart bulbs”).
11. Kasa Bluetooth Programmable Bulb.
12. Philips Hue Smart Bulb.
13. LifeLyte Bulb (for “power outages”).

SECOND IS “ALERT”:  You must “alert yourself” and then “alert police” of the “emergency” when your “Perimeter” is breached.

1. BURGLAR ALARM is the best way to do this as burglar alarms have 24/7 “live monitoring”.  This “live” 24/7 monitoring will first ALERT YOU of an “inside intruder” or “outside prowler”. And, second this “live monitoring” will “CALL POLICE”. (Sometimes a “burglar alarm system” will “interact” with THE PERP saying things like, “Intruder, exit the premises immediately! Police are ON THE WAY !).
2. Burglar Alarm Companies

1.AT&T Digital Life (w/live monitor).

2.ADT (w/live monitor).

3.Simpli Safe (DIY install w/live monitor).

1. Driveway Alarm (without security camera).

       1.Swann Driveway Alarm.

1. Front Door or Front Porch Alarm (with camera).
2. Ring Doorbell Cam w/app.
3. Toucan Doorbell Cam w/app.
4. VTech Hardline Doorbell Cam Phone.
5. MOTION DETECTORS/MOTION SENSORS. There is “motion detector Grass” “motion detector Glass” and “motion detector MATS” (for “inside front door”, “inside back door” and for one or more “stairs” that lead to upstairs bedrooms and downstairs basements).
6. CAMERAS. Security cameras (with “CCTV Monitors” or “Cellphone/Tablet Apps” ) are an important form of intruder “alert”. Security cameras are now “VERY INEXPENSIVE” and come wireless, non-wireless, HD, night vision, weatherproof, and 360 pan/tilt.
7. Outdoor
8. Amcrest Security System Weatherproof/Outdoor.
9. Imogen Studios Outdoor Camera.
10. Amcrest Outdoor Camera.
11. FDT Outdoor Camera.
12. Bunkerhill 2 Camera w/Color Monitor (perfect    for Mom and Dad who have not yet learned to use an “app” on a cellphone or a tablet).
13. Indoor
14. Swann Security Camera System.
15. D-Link Security Camera System.
16. Night Owl Security Camera System.
17. Q-Comm Security Camera System.
18. Apartments, Condos or Offices
19. Kodak 360 Pan/Tilt w/app.
20. ULO 360 w/app.
21. Izon w/app.
22. Amcrest Pro HD w/app.
23. SunCoast Peephole Camera.

(Do “register” your “outdoor security camera” with your local police department so that it can be “used” in event of a “police emergency”).

4.PERSONAL “PANIC BUTTONS”. Personal Panic Buttons ALERT “24/7 live monitors” that there is an “emergency” and that you need “immediate help”. These “buttons”  can be installed on a wall (in a bedroom or bathroom) or these “buttons” can be “WORN” around the neck or around the wrist. These “buttons” can have “limited live monitoring” or “nationwide live monitoring”. These “buttons” are for those who are “important corporate executives”, “wealthy couples” or “seniors with medical problems”.

Panic Buttons:

1. With Live Monitor
2. Mobile Help Now (nationwide monitors).
3. Life Alert (limited in-state live monitors).
4. With Non-Live “Notifying System”
5. Guard Llama w/GPS Tracking.
6. V-LRT w/GPS Tracking.
7. Buddy (for children) w/GPS Tracking.

LAST IS DEFENSE: I’d advise that each household purchase a “lethal weapon” (a firearm) and that you go to the “firing range” and take “marksman and gun safety” courses. A crazy Intruder wielding a “knife or a gun” will seriously beat a “victim with an airpot”. But, I’ll let you decide which is best for yourself and your household. If you have kids you’ll need a “gun safe” if you don’t have kids a “Fanny Pack Kit” to hang in your bedroom closet or on your bedpost will do fine. So, these are the choices:

1. Non-Lethal:
2. Cobra Pepper Spray/Cobra Pepper Spray Flashlight.
3. Delta Force “Stun” Flashlight or Vipertek Stun Gun or TS2 Stun Gun.
4. Taser International Taser Gun.
5. LETHAL:
6. FIREARM (GLOCK, WALTHER, SMITH & WESSON).
7. The Fanny Pack Kit:

Get a “fanny pack” (like the one pictured below) and put, inside:

1. Firearm w/Laser Light. (loaded and chambered).
2. 1-2 Extra “Magazines”. (1-2 extra loaded clips).
3. Cellphone with active service. (The “Jitterbug Flip” is a good choice because it has big numbers and it comes with LIVE “5 Star” monitoring).

HOW TO USE KIT: At the first “sound” or “alert’ of an Intruder you grab your “Fanny Pack Kit” and PUT IT ON, meaning, you strap it around your waist. You seek “cover” in locked bedroom or locked bathroom. Once inside your “Panic Room” you can “dial 911” and with “firearm ready” talk to 911 dispatcher.  Do run “practice drills” with your entire family so everybody in the “household or apartment” knows what to do WHEN THE TIME COMES !!!

AUTO SAFETY TIPS: DO get a “dash cam” for your car if you don’t have one already. (“Poloroid Dash Cam” and “Dash Cam Pro” are both good brands). DO keep at least “one” pepper spray in your glove compartment (“Cobra Pepper Spray” and “Sabre Pepper Spray” are both good). DO also keep in your auto glove compartment one good flashlight (“Cobra Pepper Spray Flashlight” or “Delta Force Stun Flashlight” or “Smith & Wesson Tactical” or “Bell & Howell Tactical” are all good “flashlight” choices). DO get an “AVALANCHE BEACON” in case you need to “walk away from your car”. Your “cell phone” has a GPS locator but cell phone batteries can run down. (Herrington Catalog sells an excellent “beacon”). In fact, DO consider getting a “GPS tracker” (a LO DOC) for your car. (If—IF–you are ever “lost or kidnapped” the police will be able to find you !!!). And finally, one last “security/safety” item you need in your glove compartment is that special tool (“LIFE HAMMER”) that will both “cut your seatbelt” and “bust your car window” to allow you (and your Family) to “escape your car” IF YOU NEED TO !!!
