"People should carry out their day to day activities as usual and there is no need to panic during the bandh called on Thursday as adequate security arrangements have been done," said the Home Secretary SKG Rahate. In addition to that, two companies of Rapid Action Force, six companies of Rapid Action Police and 3100 Home Guards along with tear gas and Riot Control units have also been deployed to maintain law and order during the bandh, he added. "Close watch will be kept on hooligans though Drones and CCTV cameras, installed at all sensitive locations on the basis of which people creating disturbances and taking law and order in their hands could be easily identified, so that action could be taken against them," said Rahate. If required, pallet guns could also be used and action would be taken against them with electronic evidences through fast-track courts, he added.

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices.

The Benefits of a DIY Home Security System

This week’s mailbag addresses the pros and cons of a DIY home security system, how to browse the internet without being tracked, the best way to secure firearms in your home — and more.

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system.

But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...
