with all the investment we do in home
electronics computers and other devices
we’d like to be able to protect those
devices hi I’m special agent Nicholas
convex eggs from best buy’s geek squad
and welcome to watchmojo.com today will
be given me a few tips and tricks on how
to protect your electronic and other
computing investments so even though
computers have come down significantly
in price in the last few years computer
theft is still a big item whether you’re
in a public library at a food court take
30 seconds use a lock either with the
key or combination put it into the slot
that they have available on your laptop
and attached to something fixed like the
table or post this prevents you from
having your computer loss not only do
you lose your actual computer but if you
haven’t done a backup you’ll have also
lost all of the information that was on
it most people carry their laptops in a
bag that looks like it’s meant for a
laptop you might as well advertise that
you have a laptop and please steal it
the industry has developed a lot of
different types of bags everything from
knapsacks to bigger bags that can not
only hold just your laptop but your
school books or any other paperwork so
it has a dual purpose it hides the fact
that you actually have a laptop and it’s
one less thing to carry it’s also less
strain ‘full for your back than having
two or three different bags to carry
around one of the things people don’t
think of using as a security product is
their webcam inherently records you can
set it to record at all time or you can
even set it up to record when it detects
movements so if someone were to walk
into your apartment or to your room the
webcam would pick up the movement would
record it a lot of software can even
send you an SMS to let you know that
someone is currently in your room from
using a remote computer you can access
those images see who’s there and if it’s
just your roommate who’s looking through
your closet for some clothes you can
just sort of let it go but if it is
someone who’s actually taking something
you actually have this recorded people
for years have been putting their lights
on timers when they go away on vacation
or for any period of time you know the
lights turn on at eight they turn off at
midnight the problem with these kinds of
traditional timers is it’s always the
same thing it becomes fairly obvious for
anyone who’s paying attention that these
lights are on timers today with basic
home automation tools we can have the
computer learn
habits and it can then generate a sort
of randomness to the turning on and off
of lights to make the house appear to be
more lived-in than it actually is
