exterior home Security questions

Definitely try the motion sensor. I have one by my shop were the 68,70 and my Peterbilt are keep about a 125 feet from the house. They definitely work and are very inexpensive. The one I have cost about $15 and uses batteries so you can put them just about anywhere.

After our house was broken into (twice) we added motion floodlights to the front and rear. The front ones are a bit low and twice I've found the bulbs unscrewed. I check them when I get home from work so this has to happen during the daytime. We added another solar powered motion light to the shed in back. In addition, I added 4 infrared cameras that are wired to PC. The videos are stored locally on the hard drive but I've set it to upload still images to an FTP server whenever the motion sensors trip. That way, even if someone gets in and steals all the equipment we still have evidence. I can also check the video feeds from work. It's surprising how cheap the system was to install (especially compared to insurance deductibles). I think the basic setup (1 camera, 4 port PC card, software) was around $160. Each additional camera is around $80 but you can get cheaper ones if you're only using them indoors and/or don't need infrared. Interestingly enough, you could also just use a webcam but most don't see well in the dark. Do a Google search for "web cam security system".

Went outside yesterday to check to house and noticed that the automatic light system that goes down the side of my house by my daughters room has recently been ripped out of the gorund. Obviously some pervert is trying to peak into my daughters room at night and doesn't want to get spotted from the street from the home lighting. Of corse I will be repairing it but do you all have any other suggestions as to what else I should think about doing. I don't have tons of money for a high tech secuity system right now so I'm thinking fake camera's with leds and maybe a motion detector light and some security stickers on her window. Anything else you all can think of.

People are so sick and completely descust me that they do these kind of things >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I need to protect my daughters privacy and I'm very concerned about this.

Maybe a few "house protected by me smith and wesson" will help. lol

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

get a driveway alarm  just google (WIRELESS DRIVEWAY ALARM) you then can put them anywhere and when the creep crosses the invisible line it will give an alarm right next to your bed. they are cheap also.

This seems like a pretty good option for me right now since Christmas pretty much so cleaned me out. I went ahead and picked one up off e-bay for 16.99. Not bad.

This way it will alert me and I can go out myself and get a visual description and know who it is from there. Camera's may come later after I get my income tax check back. 

Hopefully the wind in the side bushes don't mess with it too much.

Thanks guy's

Just cut to the chase. You could take the trespasser out from anywhere.

Yeah,  but in addition to the trespasser that thing would probably take out the neighborhood with accidental friendly fire as well.

[b5blue]

Not to mention wake up the neighbors!

[Silver R/T]

if the daughter has bf have his steak out and kick some ass when a perv shows up.

[Finn]

Finn's never fail steps to sucess:

1) Move daughter to other side of house.
2) Adorn whitey-tighties
3) Arm thyself with shotgun (pictured above)
4) position rocking chair in front of window in question
5) reposition automatic lights inside room, sensor facing window, light facing chair
6) Take up defensive position in chair
7) Initiate rocking
wait
9) when perv makes appearance, let the lights show his new pray
10) the hunter becomes the hunted

Or you could just invite Chris Hansen over...


Hope you get the bastard
