Security is a major concern in all of our lives, we’ve got alarm systems on our houses and cars, and we try and secure all of our belongings as well from theft. It’s a shame really though what the world has come to, I can remember a time when we knew all of our neighbors and trusted the community, we left our doors open, windows open, and security systems were things that only the super rich had on their houses and cars. Now I don’t leave my house without securing the windows and doors, and making sure the alarm is on, and in my car I’ve got the Club and an alarm system as well. I’ve got three children and I will do whatever I have to to protect them, and I will do whatever I have to to protect my possessions as well, but if I’m not home there’s not much I can do expect apply or install deterrents to crime like alarms, bars on the windows and even a CCTV security system now. The neighborhood I live in was a great place to live and grow up, but now it’s full of drugs, drug dealers and crime, including shootings and robberies, it is not the place I remember growing up in. Sure I could move to somewhere else, but I own my house, and let’s face it, crime is everywhere, sure it’s not as prevalent in other places, but those places are usually limited to the rich, or those with a lot more money than I have, so I have to work with what I have and do whatever I have to to protect my family and their belongings.
I’ve got quite a bit of experience in CCTV security systems, I’ve installed systems that costs upwards of $40,000 so I know a bit about working with them and what’s good and what isn’t. What I’ve worked with is professional quality equipment, but with society being ever security conscience there are kits and systems that are aimed at the regular person, they aim to do what professional systems can do but at a fraction of the price. These kits offer peace of mind and can act as a deterrent against crime, but are they any good? Swann Security has sent me over their BlueAlert Security Kit for review, it includes a DVR that records to a standard SD card, and one wireless camera with infrared capabilities built in. The BlueAlert DVR is a tiny box, about the thickness of a DVD box, and half as wide so it can be discreetly placed wherever you need it. Is it any good? Well if I compare it to professional kits costing 100 times more then I can say no, but for what it is and what it costs it’s well worth the security and peace of mind that you can get from owning it.
So continue on to learn more about the BlueAlert Security Kit from Swann Security…
