Every semester of every year you can read hundreds of reports where a woman was physically assaulted on campus.  While colleges and universities have tried to step up security patrols, especially at night, reports of attacks and attempted rape continue to persist.  While there are precautions a woman can take to lessen the chances of becoming a victim, one of the best weapons she can have at her disposal when confronted in a threatening situation is a shot of pepper spray. A less than $20, the MACE Keyguard Pepper Spray is compact, convenient, and has a key ring that easily attaches to your house, dorm room, car, and other keys you carry.  Be alert, be cautious, and be prepared. http://www.thecoverteye.com/preview/m7/80365--mace-key-guard-pepper-spray.html     http://www.athensohiotoday.com/news/woman-uses-pepper-spray-to-allegedly-fight-off-attacker/article_00fc4e80-8d84-55d7-a989-90264ed2f3be.html    

  The city of London has one of the highest numbers of video surveillance cameras in use in the world today. With over 10,000 cameras, by some estimates, mounted throughout the metropolitan area, perhaps the largest concentration of surveillance monitoring can be found along Oxford Street, in one of the city's busiest shopping districts. It has been estimated that in just a single day, approximately 500,000 shoppers can be found along its rows of retail stores looking for bargains. It's not only big stores or corporate offices that need video surveillance, but small retailers, too. It's an unfortunately fact of life that businesses of all sizes are affected by theft. According to National Retail Security Survey figures, released last June, merchandise loss cost retailers in the U.S. $33.5 billion. The majority of that (43%) was due to employee theft, which cost business owners $14.4 billion. And 35 percent ($11.7 billion) was due to shoplifting. Non-retailers can also benefit from video surveillance. Any business concern that operates warehouses, storage lockers, offices, and even parking lots can protect their interest from continuous monitoring to safe-guard against theft and vandalism. Video surveillance can also help to reduce the risk of liability from workplace accidents. What should small business owners look for in a video surveillance system? Here are three questions to help you determine the best solution for your company:      1.     How many locations do you have?  IP enabled network video surveillance systems enable you to view live video from a multitude of sites across different geographical locations. You can view live camera feeds on your PC or mobile phone, or be alerted on those devices to unusual activities based on the programming you set on the camera's software.   2.    Do you need to monitor your business during off-hours, or when you can't be there in person? You don't have to be tied to your computers in order to view your security cameras. Choose a video surveillance system that allows you to view camera feeds from any device that has an Internet browser. You could keep an eye on your assets from your dining table in a restaurant via your smartphone, or from your laptop when on the road.   3.    Do you have other security technologies, such as door sensors, motion sensors, and alarms? Your video surveillance system should be able to link to a variety of technologies, including other security controls, to give you a comprehensive view of your protected assets. The system should also be able to alert you via e-mail or phone messages to any unusual activities it detects. Other capabilities that you should consider in a video surveillance system include video monitoring software that comes as part of the package. For example, both our IP-Camera-Pro and IP-Camera Cloud network cameras comes with monitoring system software that includes support for up to 4 cameras, remote view and playback, and set-up for email notification anytime motion is detected by the camera's sensors. Also, choose cameras with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities so you can view images from any angle. This is a cost-effective alternative to deploying multiple fixed cameras.

  iProtect Multi-Channel Wireless Detector   The first of its kind, all-in-one detector that is easy to use for any TSCM level. Find GPS trackers, cell phone signals and other wireless protocols easily using this Multi-Channel Digital Detector. The 1217 will pick up with higher accuracy 2,3,4 and 5G mobile bands. Other detection devices become overloaded with signals from the base station rendering them practically unusable in large cities. The DD1217 is designed to avoid interference from base station.   Why do we need such high end hand held detection devices? Searching for the illegal use of mobile / Cell signals is becoming an increasingly important task during counter surveillance sweeping. Numerous eavesdroppers transmit information via mobile/Cell networks. The mass production of components for developers such as GSM, 3G, 4G/LTE and 5G modules, enables them to develop cheap and quick surveillance methods which have ultra-high quality sound, video or location transmission. Hidden cameras camouflaged as household appliances, toys or interior objects will most likely transmit data via mobile networks or Wi-Fi. Spy listening devices quite often have a slot for SIM-cards to enable them to function on a cellular network. A GPS tracker is a device that is installed in a vehicle and transmits its location by sending coordinates via mobile communication. The DD1217 is an unique hand held detection device:  The user is able to see exactly which signal has been detected displayed right on the unit. This greatly improves the ability to distinguish suspicious signals from external interferences and enables the user to perform a physical search for a certain transmitter. Such ability is not available for wide-band detectors that combine all the signals. The iProtect 1217 has a selective detector, can inspect one separate band, which is why it is irreplaceable during professional searches. One more important advantage of the iProtect 1217 is the TRACKER mode (searching for GPS trackers). In this mode, the device is adjusted for detecting only mobile signals and accumulates a history of located periodic sending of data with coordinates.  Able to detect mobile and wireless signals at a much greater distance compared to conventional RF detectors (at least 10 times more) Selective: interference resistant and with a high sensitivity Has worldwide coverage of mobile standards – can detect all existing bands of GSM, CDMA, 3G, 4G/LTE and 5G in the range up to 6 GHz Able to detect all types of wireless signals, including Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 5 GHz, DECT, ISM 434MHz, ISM 968 MHz and ISM 915 MHz Detection of at least 26 mobile and wireless bands Can be adjusted to the frequency allocation of the country of use A selective multi-band principle of work informs the user of exactly which signals were found The mode of analysis of a certain band facilitates the physical search of a transmitter A separate mode for the detection of GPS trackers with history accumulation (TRACKER) ALARM function warns the operator about exceeding the threshold, both with sound and visually 43 threshold levels for setting optimal sensitivity Can be set up for specific tasks, for example, for the detection of Wi-Fi only, etc. Operation modes:  ALL BANDS (detection on all bands); GROUP (detection on the selected group of bands); BAND (analysis of a separate band); TRACKER (detection of GPS trackers) Two antenna inputs and two antennas in the set for ensuring maximum sensitivity The high-band directional antenna facilitates locating of transmitters above 2400 MHz The built-in rechargeable battery provides an operational time of up to 5 hours Rechargeable via USB Technical Specifications: Number of Bands: 26 Power: Built-in rechargeable battery 6800 mAh 3.7V Power supply source: USB 5V Operating and control elements: Joystick: move left-right, up-down, threshold adjustment, mode selection Button POWER OFF: switch off Button US (bands of the USA) EU (European bands) Total (all bands) Sound signals: Alarm, depression of buttons Number of alarm threshold levels: 43 Alarm Function: Visual or Audio Operations modes: ALL BANDS ( detects all bands), GROUP (detects on the selected group of bands), BAND (analysis of a separate band); TRACKER (detection of GPS tracker) Average Sensitivity; -60 dBm Antenna inputs: Input 1 SMA, 2400-6000MHz Battery time up to 5 hours Signal Dectection: Wi-Fi 3G 4G 5G GPS CDMA GSM Bluetooth Detection Range: Up to 6 Ghz Power Type: Battery Included: DD1217 Detector High-band antenna Micro-Pointer x 1 Low-band rod antenna x 1 Charging Cable USB Type C Angle adapter SMA x 2 Hard case for transportation      Standard shipping is FREE for all retail orders totaling $100.00 or more!
