Jesica Dragovar Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I used this one on my old property and had no complaints about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiked Anton Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 SWA security is great, i have been using it for over 18 months, it work, its serious security, created by Sweetnwild magic. . it does a serious job......easy to use, easy to set up.......she also has products that take care of memory users that cause lag on your simm, it doesnt do anything over the boundaries of your land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innula Zenovka Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I recommend Psyke's Security System -- very reliable and versatile, though maybe more than you need at present. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have used the PDS HomeSecurity Orb for a few years and it works fine for me. The instructions are very easy to follow. ETA: Same system Innula mentions above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ponzu Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Protect it?? From what? It isn't like real property. Nobody can steal it, or mess it up, or leave a wet spot on your sheets. ponzu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 In my case, it 'protects' my privacy. Yes, others can cam into my beach hut but I do not need to know it nor do I need someone entering my home unannounced and uninvited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abigail Merlin Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hippotech works good for me, bonus is that it is copy so you can have as many secured places as you need, for estate managers it has the bonus of working with their rental system but most people won't care about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherry Ravinelli Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 thanks everyone for reply :-) and for that someone who wonders why i need private space: no, nothing can be stolen or messed with, i have a shop on my land, i need a place private to change clothes and such without customers walking in on me :-) Although i read on many posts that it is easier just to leave everything open, if you close something people will get curious even more, that seems true also. And I already got a solution! A close friend said I can use his skybox for changing clothes and such as he is hardly ever in sl anymore, problem solved. If I need to I go to his place :-) thanks everyone! cherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 In the centre(ish) of the area you want it to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongle McMahon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 And please set it up properly so that it doesn't spam everyone on your neighbour's land with threatening ejection warnings! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 No decent security devices do that. They only deal with avatars that are on or over the land that is owned by the owner of the device. There used to be an SL bug that caused devices to threaten people in range who are on adjoining sims, but that could be dealt with by the device's creator.

soulwinds Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 so bascily in the center of the house some where. or land which house sits on, maybe on top of house, im new to this kind of thing, so im trying to do it right and not be annoying to others. and respect others homes.

Phil Deakins Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yes. Devices scan up to a certain range in all directions. The range being settable by the user. When it's in the middle of the area that you want covered, it covers the area, provided that you set the range far enough. That, of course, also covers parts of neighboring land but, although the devices see the avatars that are not on your land, they don't do anything about them. So stick it somewhere near the middle and set the range so that it covers the corners of your land, if that's what you want cover. Some newer devices may do it a little differently, by getting all the avatars in the sim and only dealing with those that are actually on or above your land. In that case, you may not need to set the range or place it in a central position. It's probable that you got instructions with it, so reading them will be illuminating.

I has a neighbor who put up a new device with too large a radius. It added me to it's ban list without me entering the parcel. And then there's the 'spam.'

Drongle McMahon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 No decent security devices do that. Absolutely true. However, not all security devices out there are decent. I have a neighbour with one that threatens anyone on my land within 40 m of the common border, including myself, every 5 seconds. Something like "Phil Deakins. You are not allowed on this parcel. If you don't leave in 5 seconds you will be ejected." It also threatens anyone within 40m in the adjacent region. Of course it can't carry out the threat, and I can mute it, but that doesn't help any visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I use Hippo's brand of orb for the reason of letting me have precision in the range. Whatever you have, make sure it can do what I describe here, and if not replace it. I can place my orb in a spot, and then edit a note card to say how far it protects in the +X and -X, +Y and -Y, and +Z and -Z - Six coordinates. Even to decimal places So what I do, is I rez a prim just under the floor, and then stretch it in each individual direction to the EXACT spot I want to cover. Then I write down the size of each dimension (X, Y, Z). I place my orb in the middle bottom but on a whole number (so its under the floor and not visible), and then use the distance from there to each edge as the + or - value for each coordinate. So if my orb ends up at coordinates 100,100,100... and my prim goes 5.53m north of that, and 3.27m south of that... My +y is 5.53, my -y is 3.27... This lets me end the orb inside of walls... so you can bounce your avatar against the wall on one side and not notice it, cross the wall and get zapped. Being the precise lets me place it to be exactly inside a building and not bother people outside. Which means I feel no guilt with having a 0 second no warning orb setting. Make sure your orb's notecards let you be very precise. I've noticed orbs included in a lot of prefab houses that will zap people 20m over the roof, and yet fail to cover the left half of the living room... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you didn't use the word "decent" in the post I quoted I thought you were speaking inclusively of all devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innula Zenovka Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 You also need to have it somewhere convenient for you to reach in order to turn it on and off, allow friends to enter the house, and so on. Some months ago, Psyke Phaeton made his widely-used PDS security orb free and OS. You might want to consider that, since it's very easily configurable. I've used it for years, well before he made it free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's your own security orb then only you can reset it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
