Need some added Security?

With the status of the economy taking a downward turn, jobs have been rapidly declining. If your like me you can clearly see the consequences of this disheartening fact. If there are no jobs people often find any way possible to make ends meet and unfortunately some turn to thievery. But With advances in home security technology its getting harder for criminals to partake in such activities.
With that being said, i have a device that will further your peace of mind of knowing that your family and you belongings are safe. The location free player by Sony is a device mainly used for multimedia purposes but i have found another useful feature that can help take away some worry.
The main purpose of the player is to deliver audio and video content from a dvd, cable, satellite or other av equipment you have connected to your tv to a portable device or you laptop computer. But how about connecting a video camera in order to see whats going on at your home at all times. If your at work and your wanting to keep a watchfull eye on your pet to make sure he or she is safe, the location free player is a great tool to do so. Or in combination with an alarm system, you can see if there is a person in your home from miles away.
For example i have an silent alarm system that connects to the internet that alerts me when ever the alarm goes off. I have a camera connected to the location free player that i can use to see if there is an intruder inside my home. The advantage of this is i do not have to make a false alarm call to the police and have to deal with a false alarm sitation. I can identify if some one is in my home and then contact law inforcement to head to my house all without that intruder knowing anything.
The player also have many other features to asist you so if you have any questions please leave me an email.
