I suspect that this is going to be a text book in some course. It is far beyond the scope of the average handy guy who just wants to put in his own security system. It is designed for huge office buildings and equipment that is too sophisticated and expensive for the layman.
In other words, don't get this if you are thinking of putting in your own computer camera surveillance for your home and property.
If you are in the business of installing for corporations, then it may be what you are looking for.

I bought this book because I am considering a low cost, self-installed, self-monitored security system. For this purpose, the content was not particularly useful. There is very little detail about choosing or installing this type of system. In fact, much more content was dedicated to the virtues of professionally monitored systems, and so many specifics about ADT and Brinks that I wonder if those companies are involved in this publication.
The amount of repetition from chapter to chapter makes it seem like this book is a collection of magazine or blog articles, not a cohesively written manuscript. Content is not very well organized, bouncing among burglar alarms, security cameras, car alarms, and commercial alarms. There is virtually no information on setting up do-it-yourself home burglar alarms or surveillance cameras other than relegating this to "tech-savvy" homeowners.
Here is a quote from Kindle location 400:
"If you're serious about getting a home security surveillance system, you should do your homework. Learn as much as you can through the internet [sic], then make a thorough list of your needs."
I agree, and would skip this book if you are already familiar with the basics.
Here is another quote that speaks for itself, Kindle location 1360:
"Keep a dog - not the timid lap-dog kind, but the brutal, bone-crunching Pit Bull variety that is lean, mean and hungry for attacking or deterring potential thieves. Put up a sign saying you have a mean dog at the very least, this will make potential criminals think twice before entering your home!"

Protecting your home should be top priority. Sadly though, most people forego installing any home security system up to a time when their home gets burglarized or an assault to someone they love happens.It is a safety measure if we can remember the fact that every home, any home, big or small, is at risk for a break-in.If installing your home with first-rate home security systems is way out of your budget, then you must consider cheaper alternatives. There are many low-cost, low-maintenance devices in the market and there are also very practical tactics you can employ in your own home right away.Most of home security is really realistic, common-sense and doable application. Here are some tips you can find in this book:1. Make your home look lived-in. There is no easy target for thieves and crooks than a house that looks secluded, dark and quiet just like no one is living there. Put in lights in strategic areas where anyone can hide from view or keep cover.2. Get a dog. Believe it or not, a dog is the best deterrent for any possible break-in. A dog with a snarling growl and that barks incessantly when agitated is the best distress signal. 3. Get those inexpensive electronic sensor devices for doors and windows. These gadgets easily detect body heat and movement and immediately set off a very loud siren or alarm bell to frighten off crooks and thieves.

Is My Cell Phone Bugged?: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Mobile Conversations Private Review

Is My Cell Phone Bugged: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Mobile Conversations Private

I don't like to be a downer and talk about topics that scare us or call up negative feelings, but family security is something that needs to be considered. In my travels and relationships I have run into situations where someone isn't feeling safe. Whether it is a jealous ex- boyfriend making threats, an information hacker gaining access to personal information or an obstinate teenager on a joy ride in Mom and Dad's car, safety is paramount.
I was given a book called Is My Cell Phone Bugged?: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Mobile Conversations Private by Kevin D. Murray, who has been a consultant in detection and counterespionage for 31 years. At first I thought, "Why would I need to know if my phone is bugged? It clearly isn't. Who would want to listen in on me?" but then I got into the reading and found that the book isn't just about phone tapping, it's about knowing what people are capable of and how to protect yourself and your family.
As it turns out, there is quite a bit out there on the market today that can turn your life upside down without detection. Things like Zombie phones and Bluetooth hacking make my skin goose bump with dread. I have become a relatively technologically savvy person over the last few years, but part of me has always felt frightened of someone getting a hold of my personal information. New apps and wireless capabilities make it so easy for us to transfer data from one place to another-sensitive material- and yet we do it almost carelessly.
The public is lucky that most cell phones that are on the market, particularly the "smart" ones, have built in anti-spyware software that will protect you in a general way, but there are still devices and spyware out there that can listen in on us.
This book gives great information on what can be done to you, how to know it is being done and even offers a free alert device that can detect possible leaks on your cell phone. He also points out that listening to your gut and matching that with important clues can be a powerful combination when you are worried about safety.
It is also interesting (and scary) to know that the average person is capable of spying. For instance, what if you suspect your nanny is stealing from you? Is your teenager where they say they were going? There are plenty of options for a protective parent to get a good look at the whole picture, rather than waiting a worrying about what is really going on.
"Is My Cell Phone Bugged" provides a comprehensive look at what is available to almost anyone, how to use it and how to protect yourself from it. The knowledge that can be gained from Kevin D. Murray is invaluable and with no exception, knowledge is power.
