Our family has had more than a few problems with three individuals who seem to think what's ours is theirs. These three clowns have hit my wife's parent's, grandparents, family friends more than once...each!. They're in and out of prison but always seem to manage to rip one of us off when they get out. Well, their back! One of the three is back in jail for breaking in to my in-laws while my wife was in the f%#king house!

The good thing is they've never come into my house. Just outside stuff. I have an alarm but I was thinking that network cameras might be a good idea. (Get my death on video) I'd like to throw one on each floor of the house and have the video captured to a computer offsite.(or hidden if I have to) Thoughts and /or experiences? Any alarm experts too? I need help with a few problems.

These guys have a certain affection for you and yours. I hope you have some home-protection.

I'm no expert with any camera EQ and I'll leave the help to the guys who recommended a few things for myself. If you want to go el-cheapo, Get a few high-qual webcams, a few wifi usb adapters, a old PC with a huge hdd, and some software. It wouldn't be too complicated to get running and have cycled every night thats incident free.

Cheers. I'm looking foward to hearing what others have to suggest that know better and more sufficent systems.

Also. A dog wouldn't be a bad idea with a underground fence so he can roam.

I am a NetBotz Certified System Engineer. Netbotz are units we use for datacenter applications but I am currently acquiring a couple to deploy at my new house. Check them out and let me know if you want more info. Its more expensive than your average pan and zoom crap from netgear or linksys but frankly in my case I think my family and my property is worth it.

Netbotz applicances have the ability to host all kinds of other sensors too, carbon monoxide, even do sound recording, and all the options are customizeable. For example, I can setup a NetBotz 500 with two cameras on powered USB hubs, state that they only record on a motion event in a given area of a certain magnitude, that they take X number of frames and that they submit them via FTP to any site I want... or to my home PC... or an online program I have written.... and that if noise rises above a certain DB level in the room between 11 PM and 5AM, record 10 seconds of it and upload it. Also send out an alert to my alert console.

There are ALL kinds of neat things I can do with alerts
