Safe & Secure

Advantages: Sturdy. Good Quality.
Disadvantages: Compatible with SecureConnect hard drives only.

...fast. I suppose the SecureConnect idea really comes into play with external drives. Recently, more and more computers are coming with a SATA port round the back or even on the front panel. This cable could be useful to avoid any risks of data loss if the HD gets nudged etc. The cable is half a meter long, which is plenty for any internal wiring and adequate for external connections too. It does seem though that all external hard drives are usually USB or FireWire which are both more popular nowadays. The cable and connectors are durable and flexible. Nice and easy to use. If it is quality you are after then this is a safe buy ? the cable is not flimsy and the connectors are well fitting and sturdy. The one pictured is blue but mine came in black. In terms of looks, you can find ?fancier? SATA cables around. Look in MAPLIN or any...

Review of WD Serial ATA With SecureConnect

Stay Safe.

Advantages: Keeps your documents etc. very secure.
Disadvantages: None as yet.

...Micromark have been on the go for over twenty years now, but in that time they have gained a good reputation in the security industry. They even employ ex criminals, to do the testing of their products. This company is based in Liverpool, although the Head office is in London, and they are now expanding into China and Hong Kong. They received the Queen's Award for Enterprise for Innovation, in 2004. The price of the safe in this review, is about £38, depending on where you buy it, although I can't remember how much I paid for mine as it was quite a while ago. These things are now for sale at a lot of places, especially the larger DIY Superstores and quite a number of large supermarkets. The Micromark electronics version, has a 4 digit pin code operation, with a manual key just for emergencies. You do get a warning when...

Review of National Security (DVD)

Safe & Secure

Advantages: Monitored system, cost effective, a national brand
Disadvantages: None

...have a phone line for the monitoring service and sign a 3 year contract. But - do the sums, you'll see that this works out cheaper in the long term than others. If you move house within the 3 years then you can opt to carry your contract to your new house (obviously it has to have an ADT alarm, or you get another fitted). All in all, I think that having an ADT box on the outside of my home is a sure way to tell all the opportunist intruders that I'm not messing around when it comes to home security. Granted, it is £25/month, but for that I get piece of mind knowing that if my alarm goes off for any reason, I get police/fire brigade response and I know that someone is on their way in an emergency. I found that going to an ADT authorised dealer was cheaper than going direct to ADT. Once installed, you are 'handed over' to ADT...

Review of Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 (PC CD)

Norton Internet Security keeps your children safe

Advantages: good protection against hackers, safeguards chidlren
Disadvantages: takes some getting used to in the beginning

...Norton Internet Security is a useful utility that makes browsing the internet a more safe, secure and convenient pastime. It works in several ways. Firstly, it creates a personal firewall to stop other uers from infilitrating your PC whilst connected to the net, stopping most trojans etc. This means any hacker who tries to get access to your computer will be refused. However, as part of this process, you need to spend some time setting up which programs on your computer are allowed to access the internet and which are not, which is a bit of a bind. Secondly, it prevents children from accessing websites that you do not wish them to access, using a filter program that has some success. However, like many filter programs you may find this more of a curse than a blessing, as it will only block sites in its database, thus missing lots...

Review of Norton Internet Security 2000 1.0 Complete package

Secret Security

Advantages: Impossible to remove
Disadvantages: Only a deterant

...Imagine if you can, the safest place to leave your Motorcycle. How about locked up outside the window of the living room where you are sitting, in the back garden, out of site from the street. To get to it from the street you would have to walk down the drive, past the side of the house where there are motion activated lights, through a gate and then behind the house. Think that's safe? No chance. A friend had his Suzuki GS550 Katana, a classic motorbike which is very distinctive, stolen from the back of his house not long ago. The strange thing is that the Katana is unique in the area we live so nobody is likely to want it as they would stick out like a sore thumb. OK, it could have been stolen to be broken down for parts. Another odd thing was that my bike was also in the garden, locked up exactly the same way, but untouched. OK...

Review of Datatag Security system

Not always better to be safe than sorry

Advantages: Sturdy, great when working well, can be bolted to floor
Disadvantages: A nightmare when playing up

...I wouldn't say my boss is mean but he can easily peel an orange in his pocket. He has a not inconsiderable annual budget to run the project but one would think it's his own money he's spending. Since he is so mean you might expect him to look after the money carefully but when the finance director found out how we stored our petty cash he nearly blew a gasket. He ordered us to purchase a safe immediately. Ideally we should have bought a floor safe that would be bolted to the ground but these are not only very expensive but need quite a bit of consideration as to where you are going to put them. We don't have much room and the project deals with young offenders to we prefer to have the safe situated out of view. Always hoping to save money his Lordship reached for the Argos catalogue and scanned the pages, pulled on his coat...

Review of Micromark Digital Safe

A simple security light for the garden

Advantages: It costs nothing to run
Disadvantages: It isn't very bright but it is adequate

...I recently bought a log cabin for the garden and decided to light the inside using a solar light so the only thing remaining was to find a way to illuminate my pathway to it. I live in a rural area with no street lights so it gets pretty dark round here on cloudy nights but I didn't want anything that would blind the neighbours or anything bright enough for two First Division football teams so I was happy to look for something solar powered that would do the job and cost nothing to run once it was installed. I quick search of Amazon brought up a selection and I settled for the Smart Solar Powered Duo Security light which has two lights that swivel and which contain a total of 10 LEDs as I thought that would give me a reasonable light and a few direction options once fitted. Design Features The light duly arrived...

Review of Smart Solar Dual-Head Security Light

Safe as houses

Advantages: gripping thriller from the start
Disadvantages: annoying ending leaves you frustrated

...As I'm slowly reading my way through Nicci French's books, I was glad to find 'The Safe House' for a mere 50 pence on one of my many hospital visits in the local shop there. At such a bargain price would I find it as good as some of the others? Let's find out. * The plot * A brutal murder starts the first chapter - Leo MacKenzie and his wife are found dead in their own home - horribly mutilated. The housekeeper that finds them makes a further grim discovery - their daughter Fiona (Finn) is in her bed, taped up and bloody, and barely alive. Severely traumatised after a long stint in hospital, Finn is sent to stay with Samantha Laschen, a doctor who specialises in post-traumatic stress. Sam has moved to the Essex coast with her young daughter Elsie, leaving London far behind. Her boyfriend, Danny, comes and goes as he pleases...
