I put a couple of security cameras in. I have one pointed out the window above the front door, and the other pointed inside the front door (a shot from this one is above).
One of the first contractors to come to the door after I installed them saw one and asked Liane if this is a bad neighborhood. I guess it does kind of raise that question. Realistically they are probably about 40% practical value and 60% me geeking out -- just doing it because I can, and it's interesting. If nothing else the outside one will enable Liane to see who is at the door when the bell rings. And I have them set to record on motion detection, so if anything were to ever happen I'd have a record of it. If it works out well I'll probably eventually drop in another one pointed out the back.
Shown in the picture is Paul, our A/V integrator. Phase one of that installation is finally just about wrapped up. The system is cool, and deceptively simple (just complex behind the scenes). I can show any of four sources (TiVo, Cable, BluRay, TBD) independently on any set in the house. I can also route any one of them to the whole house audio system (ceiling speakers). Next I need to integrate the security cameras into that somehow.
Now you just need to open up that camera to the Internet for us to keep an eye on you! ;)
ReplyDeleteDave, I figure you can probably hack your way in anyway.
