NOooooooooooooooooooo! asked:

Anyone know of a good security camera? Want one that is wireless, broadcasts over the Internet, can see in the dark and can pan and get tight shots. Anything under $1000.

Need it cause some aholes keep stopping in front of my house to take pictures all hours of the day. Because it's a new house, I think they are trying to plan a robbery or something.

Or would getting Westec home security or other security better?

Home Security Q&A

What is the Most Effective or Best Anti-Spyware For My Computer?

Spyware programs are a rapidly growing threat in computer security. These programs are essentially worm type viruses that copy themselves onto your computer without your consent, and the copied programs are designed to allow a hacker to access to your computer from a remote terminal. So you ask, what is the most effective or best anti-spyware for my computer?

The threats to your security are many, ranging from small, relatively harmless things like allowing a program to bypass your firewall security protocols and flooding your computer with useless and unsolicited advertisements, to more dangerous things like allowing a hacker to access your personal information, or even to gain actual control your PC from a remote terminal.

ami asked:

 

Most of us now relied on our cell phone more than the house phone like old days. Eventually the house phone just sit at home to collect dust. Basically I do not wish to wasted $40 a month on something I will no longer use. In fact, I do want to install a home security system that doesn't required traditional phone line. Yet still be able to monitor the house 24/7 at their headquarter. Will notify the police, fire dep, or ambulance.
Beside ADT or Brinks. Are there any Wireless Home security system out there is trustworthy? I saw uControl online but never heard or know anyone use it before.
