			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Installing security features in your house or office can be very expensive. Cammster offers a free way to monitor your home and office for intrusions by using your webcam to detect any motion. Simply register and launch the Cammster program before leaving the house, if Cammster detects motion via webcam it will alert you via email or SMS. Receiving email alerts are free, however SMS notifications cost a dollar each. The software also stores all the unusual events it records and allows you to view the history of up to 200 events for free.</p>
<p>One of the drawbacks however, is that you have to leave the page open all this time which means the intruder has a good chance to see that he has been captured on video. The tool however, still provides good value in contrast to many other security systems.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/cammste.png?570cd5" alt="use webcam as security camera" /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Turn your webcam into a security system that detects motion.</li>
<li>Receive an alert any time the software detects movement.</li>
<li>See a history of all unusual events.</li>
<li>Adjust detection sensitivity.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>E-mail serves as the primary medium of communication on the internet especially among our business and professional contacts. However, the easy access to the internet has given us the false sense of security against people that can do harm and steal our data and identity.</p>
<p>ePostal is an online service that provides an extra layer of security for your enterprise e-mails. Working with your Outlook account, you can send and receive encrypted letters, tag them by priority, track them,  and monitor the integrity of your e-mails from a single desktop interface.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb86.png?570cd5" alt="ePostal" /></p>
<p>ePostal has four approaches to organize and secure your e-mail. First, the <em>ePS Privacy</em> provides a two-way global standard encryption for your e-mail and attachments. The <em>ePS Security</em> feature offers various processes to keep your e-mail secure such as sender tracking, notarization for sender and receiver, monitoring for viruses, protection against tampering, and storage encryption.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb87.png?570cd5" alt="ePostal" /></p>
<p><em>ePS Tracking</em> gives you different ways to monitor your sent e-mails. It tells you when your e-mail has been received and when it was opened. This way, you do not have to follow-up to make sure that your e-mail was received and read.</p>
<p><em>ePS Differentiation</em> is a neat feature that lets you send e-mails that are visually different compared to other mails in the inbox. This way, the e-mail can stand out from other similar e-mails.</p>
<p>You need to download desktop software that attaches to your desktop mail client like Outlook to use ePostal. The desktop client lets you configure all the things that you need.</p>
<p>The software is free for download,  at the starts you  get enough credits to send out 10 free  encrypted letters. Then you  have to pay (Standard eLetter cost  $0.15) for more credits to continue using the service.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb88.png?570cd5" alt="ePostal" /></p>
<p>The service provides low cost pay as you go system that you can use as often as you need. This way you do not have to pay large bills, and avoid hiring expensive IT expert to secure your business e-mails.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lets you send and receiver encrypted e-mails.</li>
<li>Desktop version works with your desktop e-mail client.</li>
<li>Free and Paid Options available.</li>
