home security system

[Billc]

Maybe y'all can help me with a question. I've been wanting a security system for the house and shop, and I don't want an alarm system.

About few years back we were broken into. I had a fancy alarm system, just didn't have it on. Went out for dinner, came back, noticed stuff was missing. They came in through a window and go the usual stuff, a couple of gun, some money, jewlery, and two vcrs. Cops came out and said there was nothing they could do about it. Such is life.

If it ever happens again I want a picture of the person(s) who paid me an uninvited visit. I would like to have a camera showing who pull up, two in the house, and maybe two at the shop (which is 1000 feet away), all activated by a motion sensor. I only need it to run when I'm not here, so maybe turned on with a button as I walk out.

Any ideas?

Bill,
go to www.x10.com they have just what you are talking about.I got a system from them a few months ago and couldn't be more pleased. Their prices are great and the product is good. They have a money back in 30 days if not happy with their product so I took the chance. I use it as a surveilance system in my antique shop and have 6 wide angle cameras and they let me watch whats going on in the shop. Go to the web sight or call them, they are very helpfull over the phone. I thought I needed more and they sold me only what I needed. Good luck with your search.

thankfully, i found a mechanic for the state highway dept that does evening work at his house; $20 a hour; so that helps a lot; myself, i'm pretty much mechanicly challenged; i have overhauled a couple ole engines with good results in the past(ferg TO20; chevy 235), but am much more gun shy about tackling them now; got by with @$220 on this shifting problem; but i have decided i am going to sell the 2240 or trade it in on a new green or orange tractor; i know i'll take a beatin on the trade in, but sometimes ya just gotta grin an take it..i dropped the price on the 2240 with a JD520 fel to $9500; the fel was put on the tractor within the last 250 hours; sure hope it sells.
