LT Security IR Illuminator Lamp

The LT Security IR Illuminator Lamp is a great add-on for anyone who has a surveillance camera system that has cameras that have night-vision.

A lot of cameras have around 30-90 ft. If you have cameras that have night vision and you’re not completely happy with the coverage that they get at night, then this is the item for you! The IR Illuminator Lamp has 198 LED IRs and will light up the night. It will give you an additional 200 ft. of night vision.

Now instead of seeing just to the edge of your property; you can see across the road. This IR Lamp will also make it a whole lot easier for you to pick out detail of footage taken at night because it will light up the area just as if it were day time. Just mount this anywhere in a centralized zone of your cameras and watch the night-time come alive!

I am, personally, happy to have this addition come along because I have cameras and now my cameras will really be able to do what I need them to do. I would recommend this to anyone with cameras or for anyone deciding to get some.

Streetwise Motion Activated Alarm with Auto Dialer

The Streetwise Motion Activated Alarm with Auto Dialer is a great way to have some security without having to buy an alarm system. This won’t cover your whole house, but you can have it cover an important area in your home or business.

What this is a motion sensor that is more than just your ordinary motion sensor. It will sense movement for a range of 20 feet straight out from the motion detector and has a 90 degree coverage pattern from side to side.

The motion detector also has a built-in keypad which allows you to arm and disarm the detector so that it doesn’t have to be active at all times. You can set your own code or it comes with a factory set code. We would definitely recommend that you change the factory default code though.

So not only does the Streetwise Motion Activated Alarm with Auto Dialer sense motion and can be armed or disarmed with a code; the unit also has a built-in 125 decibel siren which is sure to annoy and  scatter any intruder that may come across its path. And while the intruder’s eardrums are being shattered by the piercing blast of the built-in siren the unit, if attached to a phone line, will be calling out to you and 2 other numbers to alert that there’s been a disturbance.

When the Streetwise Motion calls out it can play a prerecorded 6 second message, that you record, that can include your name, address, and the fact that you’re being robbed.

The Streetwise Motion Activated Alarm with Auto Dialer is affordable at $29.95 and is packed with features. Great as a gift for someone who is security conscious!!

Diversion Safes

We are now working in products for self-protection and home safety. Included in this line up are our line of diversion safes. What is a diversion safe you ask? Well they are safes that you can leave lying around you house and crooks won’t even know that they are there.

Honeywell WAP Wireless Access Portal

We are soon to be bringing Honeywell’s Total Connect Video Service to our already great monitoring options.

The Honeywell WAP Wireless Access Portal is the hub of your home’s Total Connect Video feature. This operates just like a Wi-Fi switch that connects to a port on your router. This will bring all your cameras, whether you have them wired or wireless, together.

When you connect this to your router the router needs to be configured to be a DHCP server for this device. The Honeywell WAP Wireless Access Portal will then, if your router is configured for port-forwarding, allow you to remotely view your cameras.

We are excited to be able to offer this as a choice for people who want the remote video that everyone these days is so ready to use.

The Pistol Pad by Tane

The Pistol Pad by Tane, Inc. is something that we are proud to offer because its potential to make home protection safer and more effective.

The Pistol Pad is a unique device that lets you keep your gun out in the open and not have to worry about a burglar grabbing it and shooting you or a child accidentally grabbing the gun and shooting themselves. We do still recommend putting it out of the reach of children, but even if your toddler happens to move this it will set off a siren in your panel.

The pad works with any standard wireless transmitter that has terminals to wire in Normally Closed/Open contacts. You remove the base on the bottom and attach your transmitter and then enroll the transmitter into your alarm panel with a panic zone type. Re-secure the base and then take the circular key and unlock the mechanism that goes through a pistol’s trigger hole. Place your pistol on the pad and run the magnetic contact through the trigger and secure it in the opening on the pad. You then lock the mechanism with the key and you are set and ready for total home protection.

Whenever the pistol is removed without the lock being disengaged; an alarm will sound through your panel and a siren will sound. If you have alarm monitoring you can label that zone with them so they will call the police and tell them that a firearm has been deployed.  Also, because of the tamper switch on the bottom of the unit, if someone tries to pick up the whole pad and pistol; an alarm will also be issued.

We definitely recommend this for anyone who owns a firearm and has an alarm system where wireless transmitters can be used. We think that this will cut down on accidental deaths and violent crimes in households were alarm systems are used.
