CyberLock High-Security Electronic Locks Work

Crime is everywhere and we all try to have the best locks on our doors. I came across this product that I thought would be a benifit yo your home.

CyberLock provides electronic access control and accountability solutions nearly anywhere a mechanical lock is present. Each CyberLock cylinder is an electronic version of a standard mechanical lock cylinder. Retrofitting lock hardware is as simple as removing a mechanical lock’s key-cylinder and replacing it with the electronic cylinder.

With over 270 electronic lock cylinder designs, CyberLocks are used all over the world to secure interior and exterior doors and cabinets, audit container and cargo activity, manage access to computer carts and servers, and protect cash in transit fare boxes, ATM, gaming, and vending equipment. CyberLock electronic cylinders, programmable keys, and access management software offer a variety of solutions that can quickly provide the physical security and key control an organization needs.

CyberLock provides tight control of overall access as each person’s key can be programmed with the specific access permissions they need to do their job; what locks they can open, and when. Both the electronic key and lock record openings and exceptions including unauthorized attempts to enter. This detailed audit reporting and email alerts increase accountability and can be valuable when management needs to know who and when someone has accessed an area.

The system’s electronic keys cannot be duplicated or copied at the local hardware store which literally erases the threat of unknown keys in circulation. If someone loses a key it can be quickly blocked from accessing any locks. Once installed, CyberLock completely eliminates the time and considerable expense of re-keying a facility.

Monster Cable Goes ‘Green’ W/Powerstrip

Looked at your electric bill lately? If you have you wonder even after you turn off the lights, TV, and other electronic devices why did you bill not go down far enough.

Here’s why, even if you turn your computer and electronics off, they still suck power from your outlets. This is known as “vampire energy” and effects all of us these days that own a lot of gadgets.

For $100-130, this GreenPower Digital Life™ MDP 900 is a revolutionary surge protector power strip from Monster lets you tap a button to switch it into sleep mode. Cool ugh!

It protects your computer and the valuable data stored on it from common power surges and spikes. It also provides a high level of protection for high definition home theater components. Monster Dual Mode Plus™ surge protection automatically disconnects and sounds an alarm to protect your equipment. Monster GreenPower™ automatically shuts down outlets to stop energy waste.

In really did work, After using it during one bill cycle, I estimate I saved $25 bucks, since I did not change anything elese we did at home to save energy. The GreenPower Center might be on the expensive side for a power strip, but it will essentially paying for itself.

Other versions:

The MDP 900, along with Monster’s new MDP 800 ($99) and MDP 650 ($69.95), all geared toward PC users, are among the first in a family of energy-saving products that Monster will be rolling out in the near future to help people fight the high cost of energy and help preserve the environment.

FEATURES
Don’t Risk Leaving Your Photos, Music, Videos, and Documents Unprotected
Common power surges and spikes can occur several times a day and can easily damage or destroy your delicate digital circuitry in computers and AV components. Even worse, electrical noise and interference can corrupt important data: your digital photos, videos, and critical documents.

Exclusive PC Clean Power Filtering with Advanced Surge Protection
Electrical noise and interference is generated by virtually every electronic device and appliance. Unfortunately, this problem can affect computer performance, causing faulty data transfer, data corruption, and even system lockups in more severe conditions.

The MDP 900 features PC Clean Power Stage 2 that removes electromagnetic and radio frequency noise to ensure reliable data transfer and reduce wear on delicate digital circuitry.

For advanced protection against powerful surges, Monster® Dual Mode Plus™ sounds an alarm and automatically disconnects, isolating your equipment from dangerous power conditions. Cable modem, DSL, and Ethernet connections can also carry damaging power surges and spikes. To ensure complete protection of your computer and home theater equipment, the MDP 900 also has surge protected coax, network, and phone connections.

We’re Monsterously confident about the MDP 900 surge protection, which is why we’ll replace up to $300,000 worth of your equipment if it’s damaged by power conditions.

Save Energy, Save Money
Monster GreenPower™ is a revolutionary new way to automatically reduce energy waste and save you money. Simply plug your computer or AV receiver into the GreenPower Control outlet. When it’s turned off or goes to sleep, the other GreenPower outlets switch off, automatically eliminating energy wasted by connected equipment – like your printer, scanner, HDTV or subwoofer – when you’re not using them. When your computer or AV receiver is turned back on, the GreenPower outlets automatically power up again.

Convenient USB Charging
The MDP 900 features two high-current surge protected USB ports for safe, fast charging of MP3 players, digital cameras, cell phones, and other electronics. This frees up USB connections on your computer, and outlets on the PowerCenter™ for your printer, external hard drive, and other peripherals.

PLC Network Compatible
Powerline Communication, also known as HomePlug®, is a revolutionary home network system that works on your home’s existing electrical wiring. You can easily create a home network access point anywhere there’s a power outlet. Ordinary surge protectors can block PLC, but the Monster MDP 900 is engineered to allow full-speed PLC network communications.

Vacuuming your troubles away

Vacuuming has always been a dreaded chore and a real back breaker. We all grew up with Hoover vacs which by the way is celebrating its 60th Anniversary.

But like a Mustang, you sometimes want more power and maneuverability, the Dyson DC25 model gives you that and more.

For years vacuums could only move back and forth, turning them was a chore at best. A ball can turn on the spot, get the idea.

Dyson DC25 model has like all Dyson vacuums; the Dyson Ball with patented Cyclone technology, which spins dust and dirt out of the air.

Though it’s rather loud, it doesn’t lose suction, as you clean the floor or rug. My daughter and I used it, and we were amazed how much it picks up. Our dog Lucky sheds like cat and it’s a daily cleanup around our house.

My daughter said it made one of her least favorite chores, a little more fun. The Dyson Ball glides along the floor with a flick of the wrist. It also looks like something from a Back to the Future movie.

The motor is inside the orange ultra light-weight ball, gives the machine a low center of gravity making it even easier to use. Unlike wheeled vacuums that can only go in a straight line, Dyson Ball turns on a dime.

Other Features:
• Air expelled from a Dyson has up to 150 times less bacteria and mold than the air we breathe.
• Washable lifetime HEPA filter designed to trap microscopic allergens such as pollen and bacteria. No bags, belts or filters to buy.
• One-touch hygienic and quick-to-empty bin – just press the button at the top of the cyclone and the dust empties from the bottom.
• Five-year warranty for parts and labor guaranteed by Dyson.

DC25 weighs only 16 Ibs. And comes with a single-action wand with instant 16ft reach for stair and high-reach cleaning.

DC24 is 2/3 the size and only weighs only 11.6 lbs. Comes with a Quick-draw Telescope Reach reversible wand that instantly releases and extends to clean awkward areas.

Suggested retail prices begin at DC24 $399.99 and DC24 $499.99. www.dyson.com
