Allen & Heath Xone:4D

The Allen & Heath Xone:4D is incredible. You want to talk about a monster? Here’s one for the ages, and for the professionals typically at that. Like my buddy said, who the heck needs 20 channels? Well, some do. Or some don’t, but want the best of the best, albeit the most expensive of the bunch. Let’s see what this has and just highlight a few of the standout features: The mixer has four multi-input stereo channels, preamps on 3 channels, a soundcard output for routing switches, 3-band kill EQ, 2 FX sends, 2 stereo returns, a mic input on XLR with full level control and more. The mixer alone is crazy with pretty much any feature you can think of having and more. The soundcard is extremely high quality as well, being 20 channels and 96 kHz/24-bit sampling rate (USB 2.0). Works with both PC and Mac and has MIDI control, too: 227 mappable MIDI message sent to mixer, eight faders (yes, 8), 16 rotary pots, 50 switches, two jog wheels and finally eight push switches. You get the picture. What’s cool is Heath & Allen have a lot of demo videos online to help you get going, but it’s still going to take a lot of learning if you’re not a pro. Here’s a cool video of the Xone:4D. We just hope you have the cash.

Home Security Tips

1.    Install deadbolt locks

Though they are more expensive than spring latch locks, deadbolt locks are much stronger and therefore provide more protection. So, you should add at least one-inch thick deadbolt locks to all exterior doors in your home. However, when installing deadbolt locks, ensure that there’s little or no space between the doors and their frames, as such spaces make it easy for intruders to force the door apart. To reduce the space, use plywood or metal sheets to reinforce the door.

2.   Use interior door hinges

Intruders can easily remove the hinge pins and gain entrance into your home if your doors have their hinges on the outside. Therefore, reset all your hinges so that they cannot be tampered with from the exterior.

3.    Use metal bar on sliding doors

Do not leave sliding doors (or even windows) unprotected. Install metal bars behind them, as this will prevent burglars from gaining entrance after smashing the glass.

4.    Install a security alarm system

This is one if the best measures for protecting your home. A home alarm system will blare off a loud sound to alert you of any potential dangers and to scare burglars away. An alarm system, even when silent, can keep intruders away, as the mere sight of it can deter intruders from making further attempts.

5.    Hide all wiring

One of the first things burglars do is finding any wires hanging on the exterior of your house and disconnecting them in order to disable all security devices. Therefore, hide your home security wires as a smart move to prevent this.

6.   Install a home surveillance system

Having a home surveillance system that comprises both visible and hidden security cameras is another very good security measure. While visible cameras indirectly warn intruders that you are watching every move they make, the hidden ones are best for recording burglary footage, and they help to monitor intruders in cases when the visible cameras are destroyed.

Top 13 DIY Home Security Tips and Tricks for Personal Protection

7.  Subscribe to an alarm monitoring service

Alarm monitoring services connect your alarm system to a central monitoring center. If your alarm goes off, the sound is relayed to the monitoring center, which immediately contacts and dispatches the police to your home within a few minutes.

8.    Display yard signs

Although yard signs may not prevent desperate burglars from entering your home, they can deter intruders because they pass the message that you have a functional alarm system and that all intruders are monitored. Upon seeing yard signs, most burglars will think twice before entering your home – because they will realize that they may be caught.

9.    Use only solid wood or metal doors

Burglars find it very easy to break through doors made of plywood or hollow wood. Therefore, you should improve your home security by installing doors made of metal or solid wood at all entrances.

10.   Install a glass breakage detector

A glass breakage detector can sense the frequency of breaking glass. So, if a burglar smashes a glass door or window while attempting to enter your home, this detector triggers your alarm immediately.

11.   Give a false impression that someone is around

Most burglars scour neighborhoods looking for unoccupied houses or houses whose occupants are away for some time. Therefore, when you are away, use automatic timers to switch off your security lights at the right times. This makes burglars think that someone is in the house.

12.   Keep a guard dog

Many people now use guard dogs to watch over and protect their homes from intruders. Guard dogs need extensive training and socialization to make them hostile towards strangers and friendly towards their owners and other familiar faces. Many dog breeds can make excellent guards. Examples of the best guard dog breeds include the German shepherd, the bullmastiff, the Caucasian shepherd, the Rottweiler, the American Staffordshire terrier, the Airedale terrier, the Doberman pinscher, and the giant schnauzer.

Scoutguard SG565F Camera Review

This camera has been around for some time and has had a degree of testing leading up to this release. Built on the same platform as the 560 camera it shares the same case with a different door. Our original sample even had the cut filter on the board and had a really bad filter clunk even though it was white flash. This was reported as a severe deficiency and was suppose to be corrected in the final product prior to release. Most every one now is familiar with the Scoutguard products that use the wired remote and this is the same and the programming is the same, so we will spend no time explaining that.

The popularity of the white flash seems to have gained another build up in popularity because of the color night pictures. This trade off where there are no night video capabilities appears to be alright with a lot of users. The market has been shy of cameras that actually capture decent pictures in the white flash category. Spy Point and Stealth do this well in white flash along with the old Leaf River cameras. This is an area that was somewhat weak in our original test camera. We will be taking a strong look at this along with all the other normal functions.

Trigger time is supposed to be less than 1.5 seconds and there is suppose to be very good battery life (80 days). This has been pretty well proven in all previous Scoutguard products built on this same platform. The small size and excellent camouflaged case will be hard to spot on the tree except for that big white strobe at the top. This camera can use up to 8 gigs of SD card so there should be plenty of room for a ton of 5 MP pictures and daytime videos.

I will get some pictures of this camera (like MOULTRIE A-30 GAME CAMERA ) and then off to the trigger testing and field testing areas.

11-13-2010 update: We set up to grab the first of the day/night /8 plate pictures and got a big hit right where it hurts. We were under the understanding that the cut mechanism would be de activated and we would just have a very first class little white flash camera. Well, that just did not happen. Even though the sample flash pictures were first class and the flash range was way down range there is still this problem for those who have the opposition to the clunk during the sensing to flash period. We just finished a review on a primitive system white flash camera costing a hundred dollars more and it failed to produce pictures and flash that was satisfactory. This camera seems to do pretty good in those departments but we are afraid that the noise will probably take away from its popularity. We do not understand why they failed to correct this issue in the post production units. Logged more time on this camera and it does give us some very respectable pictures but even during the day we get that constant series of clunks each trigger. This has just got to be fixed for any kind of field deployment. Sensing was out past 50 feet for this cool day.

11-23-2010 update: In the Scoutguard tradition this camera still is pumping out the pictures which the forum users seemed to feel are pretty good but are not in that 560 category yet. We have heard there may be a firmware adjustment in the works so we will wait and see. That action, along with the attention to the little noise maker will make a good camera great.

12-05-2010 update: This camera has clunked its way through another group of really good pictures so the battery life seems to still be holding. We will keep it out until the cells give out

01-23-2011 update: This camera is still ticking away in Scoutguard fashion. Our animal count is low due to hunting pressure but so far the camera has capture 243 photos since 11-20-2010. We will continue the battery testing for now. There are no reports of any updates to correct the clunking we hear with this camera. Numerous reports have been sent via HCO to BMC about the clunking as late as this past week at the Shot Show in Vegas. We will provide a final update when the batteries fail but we are closing this review now.

04-02-2011 update: Almost 4 months in one of our less busy areas but over 600 night pictures this camera is still going on its batteries. It is giving us some pretty good pictures also.

07-15-2011 update: The batteries finally died on this camera which has continued to run in its isolated area since 12/05/2010. The batteries finally went dead on 07/14/2011. The camera took 1800 photos over this duration which is VERY good with a white flash camera.

Amazon cutting off Fire TV Stick sales to frequent buyers

It appears Amazon is checking how many Amazon Fire Stick Kodi a customer has obtained in the past and it is not letting anymore to become obtained once a certain amount has been reached. A viewer, who tells me they've ordered about 22 Amazon Fire Stick with Kodi Branches in the past from Amazon, has delivered me the above screenshot demonstrating that they are no more able to purchase any Amazon Fire Stick unlocked Regardless of how many Amazon Fire Stick jailbroken with Kodi are added to their cart, the number is altered to zero with a message implying that zero may be the fresh “maximum allowable” Amazon Fire Stick jailbroken Branches they are able to obtain.

Restricting the sum total variety of Amazon Fire Stick hack a customer should buy is probably an effort by Amazon to hinder shops who preload Fire TV Twigs with piracy application and promote them on sites like eBay for a profit. There are lots of shops who have independently distributed thousands of Amazon Fire Stick Kodi each. This listing alone, for example, has offered more than 7,000 products. The Fire TV Stay has quickly become the go-to device for a TV show and movie pirates, thanks to its inexpensive price and flexible Android-based operating system.

Limiting revenue is just the newest action taken by Amazon to deflect the Fire TV Stick’s developing piracy reputation. Last year, Amazon removed Kodi, a media player application, from their app store, since according to them “it can be used to facilitate the piracy or illegitimate download of content.” Though Kodi itself does not offer use of fake material, its unrestricted addon functions have allowed third parties to develop piracy addons that flow duplicate tv shows and movies directly through Kodi. The thousands of Fireplace TVs and Amazon Fire Stick jailbroken for sale on eBay advertising free shows and tv shows come preloaded with your piracy add-ons.

Amazon’s bar of FireStarter, a popular alternative Fire-TV launcher app, last month was also probably linked to their work to help make the Amazon Fire Stick fully loaded fascinating to shops and pirates. FireStarter was utilized by many piracy shops as a way to bypass the default Amazon Fire Stick Kodi screen and simplify entry to pirated material.

It’s unclear if Amazon’s new purchasing restrictions increase towards the Amazon Fire Stick for sale additionally, or if it just applies to Amazon Fire Stick free channels income. I’m told Bestbuy can be limiting Amazon Fire Stick Kodi to at least one-per-customer inside their real stores and 3 per customer through their website, but it’s unfamiliar if that limitation is related to Amazon’s restriction on full income.
