Valkyrie Defense Group is hosting a Suarez International HITS-8 Defensive Knife Course. It will be held in Coshocton on November 14th. More details can be found here. http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/151114-defensive-knife-coshocton-oh.aspx#.Vio54BbD_qD I took this class in spring and was so impressed I wanted to make sure this info got out to more people. Valkyrie Defense Group makes nothing off this class we are just trying to provide better and more accessible information to everyone. Why would you ever need a class on defensive knife? Do you ever go anywhere that your gun isn't allowed but your knife is welcome? I do. Also if we look at the statics of a lethal threat engagement it is very likely that it will be very close quarters to the point where your gun might not be accessible or feasible to get to. One of my biggest takeaways from this class was a closer look at violence. I thought I knew violence, I teach it every weekend. I was wrong. This opens your eyes to a whole new world of violence and something I describe as targeting. Different tools required different deployment and different target areas. You will learn a ton. There will be training knives there so you don't need to run out and buy one. Also if you don't have what you think is a perfect knife for defensive matters this class will also teach you what to look for in a defensive knife as well. Any questions just put them below or shoot me a message on here or Facebook.

The metal was basically fused.

You think a woman's mind is going to be changed with MATH,?

For quality you have two options. - Standard NTSC image (4CIF or Full D1) which is roughly 640x480 (not exactly). This is what analog cameras product and will connect to your recording unit (DVR) using either RCA (The yellow plug in the old white/red/yellow AV cables). or BNC (the old 10Base2 network connector with lugs). The cable can either be RG59 or Cat5+ with baluns. This is what most CCTV was for ever. The quality is not great, but can be compensated for by aiming the camera at where the action is going to be. If you want to read a license plate the plate must take up at least a quarter of the width of the screen to get a comfortable read (from a resolution perspective - lighting is another can of worms). A person's face for a "wanted poster" needs to be about the same size. The cameras run from $25 for the cheapest nasty crap you will ever see, for several hundred for brand name cameras with active IR filter DayNight and wide dynamic range (better handles variable light conditions) - Megapixel IP. IP just means digital data stream being transferred across a network cable (cat5e, cat 6 etc) rather than an analog image. You need the digital data stream for megapixel. Megapixels are rated just like regular cameras. Cameras used to start in the $1k+ range but the prices are dropping. Framerates are lower, generally, because the data stored would be much higher.

I would probably suggest buying a cheap computer and a camera monitoring program. You will need hardwire IP cameras and inputs for the computer. They can be bought in kits. Hide it in a closet or safe (with proper cooling) and run cat 5 through the attic. Don't have a suggestion as to which one because I've only done commercial work and haven't researched it. I think that wireless is still too expensive for residential applications and the video quality isn't fantastic. Quality dedicated hardwired DVR's start at about $500, but I'm sure someone will be along to sing the praises of the harbor freight systems. When it comes to camera systems, quality is key. That said, I never recommend interior cameras in living spaces for obvious reasons. I'd prefer not to have video out there anywhere of me scratching my nuts while walking down the hallway.

I did a review on the Guardzilla camera (https://www.guardzilla.com/) which was brand new at the time. It had some bugs and features that weren't quite fleshed out yet. Since then, they've addressed them and it's quite a decent camera for the price. It has local storage and you can connect remotely to it, etc. I've never used it for an alarm system but the alarm is super loud. I do set it to detect movement when we are away from home in certain areas of the house. I probably shouldn't say this but I got some rather interesting footage of my wife's friend who was house sitting for us (don't ask). Kodak just came out with a camera that looks interesting and I saw another one just the other day Logitech just launched the Circle camera that looks nice. One problem with local storage is that if the intruders see the camera, all they have to do it grab it and/or the data card and you've got nothing.
