PepperAlarm

We all know that when you have a paid alarm system, it takes an average of about 20 minutes for the police to answer a call. It depends on how busy they are when they get the call. We also know that statistics show that a burglar is in and out of your house in 3 to 8 minutes. So when the police finally arrive, they are already gone, along with some of your belongings.There is a new product that I would like tell you about. I received a cold call from the person who actually patented this product. It is called PEPPERAlarm. Ironically, I thought there was something already on the market like it. But when he told me what it did, I knew it was totally different. There is an existing Pepper Alarm on the market. But it uses actual Pepper Spray. The Pepper Spray is housed in a metal box that contains a regular can of pepper spray. It is usually mounted on a wall. Here’s the way it works. When a burglar comes into your garage/house/business, he/she will trigger the alarm, which in turn triggers the Pepper Spray. PEPPERAlarm acts very similar to the existing Pepper Alarm Spray on the market. But there are several remarkable differences.

Fire Extinguishers

Fire is necessary for several processes but it can be very disastrous. Fire is caused by different things. Electricity can cause fire, petroleum, flammable gases and liquids and also friction. Whatever the cause of outbreak, it is important to get the right type of extinguisher. It is always important to have fire extinguishers in your home, business place, school, hospital and any other place where people spend some time. Fire extinguishers are important as they are more effective in putting out fire than other methods. People are used to pouring water on burning material but this rarely works as water has oxygen in it which will instead increase the flames. The situation is even worse if the source of the outbreak is petroleum as oil floats on water. You will only be facilitating the spread of the flames. Fire extinguishers will help you deal with the situation before the fire department gets to where the fire is. There are different types of fire extinguishers:Foam fire extinguishers used on fires caused by fuel. The foams can be non-aspirated or aspirated. These foams create a lathered seal over the burning fuel therefore preventing any oxygen from getting into the fuel.  <

Driveway Alarm!

The function of a driveway alarm would seem apparent to most people. To monitor your driveway, of course. These wonderfully helpful marvels of technology have been assisting home and business owners for decades. Having recently moved to a rural area in South Western Ontario, I have noticed no exception. Driveway monitoring devices are as popular here as they were when I lived in much more populated areas of Ontario. Installing a multi-zone driveway alarm allows the rancher to know when and at what area the fence had been breached. This saves time and effort finding the hole in the fence and allows the rancher to go directly to where the livestock are escaping. Since voice recording for each zone is possible – there is no confusion in the middle of the night trying to sort out which ‘beep’ type the alarm was.Another area for these multi-zone units to used – can be property security. Instead of being concerned only with what is ‘leaving’ the fenced area – a driveway alarm can indicate a zone that was being entered. Trespassing animals or humans will sound an alarm as well if the perimeter is broken. As before, with the voice recording alert for each zone – knowing where to search your property quickly can determine if there is a real threat to your livestock or barn/farm house.
