Wireless CCTV or Wired CCTV? 🤷🏾‍♂️ It depends on what you need from a security system. Hardwired alarm systems have an edge on reliability, while wireless systems provide a more streamlined installation and can be used in places where wired systems can’t.

So what makes a system wired or wireless? A home security system’s network of sensors, along with the control panel, connect and communicate with the outside world via either a cellular or landline connection.

A security system can be both hardwired and wireless. That means the system can have either a wireless sensor network and control panel with a hardwired landline connection—or hardwired sensors with a control panel connected to the outside world via a cellular connection.

Within the home, the advantages and disadvantages of wired versus wireless security systems come down to two issues: installation concerns and performance differences.

Wireless
If your home doesn’t have a security system pre-installed, wireless systems can solve several problems. You won’t have to worry about drilling holes or making other modifications, so wireless is an attractive option for renters, historic homes, or buildings with significant interior brick, stone, or marble construction. Renters or homeowners who change residence will also be able to take advantage of the portability of most wireless systems—simply disconnect and reconnect at your new address.

Wired
If your home has been prewired for a security system, a hardwired option may be a better choice since the system will be easy to install — all hardwired systems contain essentially the same technology.

Most major security system providers offer both wired and wireless options, so choosing the right provider will be more important than deciding between wireless or wired security.

To check or not to check into Facebook when you're at home?

That’s not the question. Because the answer is a big, fat NO.

Don’t check in at the airport when you’re leaving for a vacation.
Don’t check in on Instagram when you take those holiday pics.

The more data there is about you online, the more cyber criminals can gather and use to compromise you. And even common criminals can use this information to break into your house while you’re away.

And, whatever you do, do not check in while you’re at home!

Why would you want strangers to know your home's exact location?

Here’s a simple way to check if a social profile is fake or not.

Step 1: Download the profile picture.

Step 2: Use https://www.tineye.com/ or Google image search to see if that profile pic is a stock photo or if someone else has used it. If it’s fake, lots of results will pop up.

TinEye Reverse Search Engine TinEye is a reverse image search engine. Search by image: Give it an image and it will tell you where the image appears on the web.

There are a couple of things you can do to w**d most of it out and keep your inbox and devices safe:
Open an additional email account that you use for newsletters subscriptions, online shopping or social networks. This will help you keep your most important email account safe
Be careful where you submit your email address
Unsubscribe from any unnecessary newsletters
Use filters and mark emails as spam to help your email provider block it more effectively
NEVER click on links in spam emails
NEVER download and open attachments in spam emails
Disable the automatic downloading of HTML graphics in your mails
When using social media, enhance your privacy settings so no one can see your email account
If you have a website, protect your email address from automatically being scanned and harvested by spammers.

Spam campaigns are still one of the main attack channels that cyber criminals use, so less spam means you’ll be a bit more secure.
