Motion Detectors(also Door and Window Alarms) are usually portable, wireless devices that will detect motion whenever someone walks in their path.
Motion Detectors come with a variety of sound levels (soft or loud alarms and even chimes). Most have an on-off switch and some will even call the police when someone enters your home or office.
Many people put Motion Detectors at their front doors for nighttime protection so they can be alerted if someone is trying to break into their house.
But how about other uses for Motion Detectors — everyone thinks they are just used to keep people out of their home. Well, here are a few uses for Motion Detectors and Door Alarms that you might not have thought about:
Place a Door Alarm on your elderly parent’s or young child’s door to alert you that they are out of the room at night
How about teenagers — what time do they really come in at night? You will absolutely know the time with a properly placed Motion Detector. Just don’t tell the teenager that you set one up or it will spoil the surprise…
Pantries — place a Motion Detector near your food supply (pantry, refrigerator, even the cookie jar) to let […]

What is a Stun Gun? Well, first of all, it isn’t a gun in ordinary terms because it doesn’t shoot anything. A Stun Gun is a non-lethal electronic device that gives a high voltage, low amperage shock. One touch to an attacker and he will be stopped cold in his tracks.
The voltage of a Stun Gun is usually between 80,000 and 1 million volts. The higher the voltage, the more effective the device is in taking down the bad guy.
However, it is the amperage of the Stun Gun that does the damage. Most Stun Guns use 2-5 milliamps of power to drop the attacker. One thousand milliamps (1 amp) is lethal to a human being, so the much lower amperage in a Stun Gun is designed not to be lethal, but only to give the attacker the “shock of his life” and immediately disable him.
When you push the pronged end of the Stun Gun against an attacker and squeeze the trigger, an electrical charge passes into his body. This causes instant disablement from the Stun Gun and this, not pain, is the main effect from the shock.
When you touch an attacker with a Stun Gun, the shock causes the […]

When you think of a Motion Detector what does it call up in your mind?
I’ve asked this question of many people and they generally think of a complete, expensive security system that sounds an alarm when someone tries to break in.
Good answer — but not exactly correct because Motion Detectors can do more than that — much more than that at a much more affordable price.
You may not want an expensive security system in your home — the learning curve can be long and confusing and you may have a monthly monitoring expense.
Motion Detectors can be stand-alones and portable. They can be placed anywhere you want to detect motion. They’re not limited to your house. You can use them in your office, warehouse, store, back yard or garage — just about anyplace you want to detect unsuspected motion.
OK, just what are some other uses for a Motion Detector? Here are just a few uses that you may not have thought about:
College dorm rooms, Sorority and Fraternity houses — no one needs to tell you, especially in these days, about college campus security. Just mention the tragedy at Virginia Tech and it can bring chills to a parent with a child […]
