yahoo att wireless dsl with 3 pc’s on wire and 1 PSP using wireless. One pc has 3 video cameras and tv card and 2 usb web cams.

Since last fall, I’ve been having problems with vandalism, mostly with my truck. There has been five different incidents, (At home: Rock chucked at Front Window of house, Allen Wrench stabbed through passenger-side rear tire; at school, valve stem cut on front driver’s side tire, rear passenger-side fender keyed, big dent in top of passenger side front fender). The fender thing happened today, and I’ve decided that was the last straw. I finally went off the deep end.

After getting the dent mostly pounded out, I drove to the Salem Spy Shop and inquired about security cameras for my vehicle. The guy said he had an awesome kit for my truck that contained a wireless camera about as big as half a roll of quarters (hooks up to battery, transmits a signal from 300 feet away), a hidden microphone, and a receiver. The camera is easily hidden and rotates a full 360 degrees. Cost: $90, plus installation.

Now that I’m getting this hooked up (Not until next week), what should I do when I finally catch the bastard who’s doing it? Sue him, get him arrested, blackmail, beat him up, do something even worse to his car, what do you guys think?
I can hide the transmitter in the glove box, it’s small enough.

What I’d also like to do is get a custom window sticker that says, “Smile, fucker, you’re on candid cam!” but I think that just gives it away. What do you think on that?
No, nobody else has access to my truck. It has two coded keys, and those are the only keys that work with the vehicle. I keep one set within five feet of me at all times; the spare set is in my fire safe.

I want to be able to store alot of MP3 , movies and photos and have them accessible by all computers on the network.

I want to be able to view the videos and movies on an HDTV

Id like to know if there is a wireless solution to being able to play the music through out the house in different rooms.

Id finnally like to be able to connect some security cameras to the network and have them recorded to the network storage device and be able to be accessed remotely on the internet.
so i looked at the sonos player which is nice but seems limited ..

I’ve run cat5 cable throughout the house, which i thought I could use to connect security cameras. I don’t need anything fancy (no recording) i just want to be able to use a switcher with a couple of cameras to view who’s at the front door from my TV.

My question is, can cat5 cable handle what the cables that run video/audio/power to the camera handle? Mostly worried about the power.
I don’t have power at the camera locations, so I need cameras that can run power through the connecting cable from the switcher. I would like to splice the cable that comes with these cameras and solder the ends to my prewired cat5 cable. I’m just woried that the cat5 cable wont be able to handle the power…. any input is appreciated.
(I don’t want wireless cameras and am not looking for high end stuff just a basic system)

Where is the best buy on a home security system?

We have had some trouble recently with someone messing with our cars while we are gone. We want to purchase an inexpensive home security camera, something we can set up outside. But it would have to be motion activated, and possibly be able to view in the dark. I don’t know anything about security cameras, and in the process of trying to read up on them, I’ve just become more confused. We don’t have a lot of money, so any inexpensive suggestions would be helpful. They would have to be wireless as well. I don’t know how or what we would use to record the video…like I said…I don’t know anything about security cameras…any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks

What is the best way to record my security cameras?
I have Nortech Security 2.4GHz Wireless Color Security System

THANKS
Yeah Thomas, thanks for the help buddy
Hit record on what?
Why even bother with smart answers?
is it just called a tv video card? im so confused
thanks for the help!!

Installing the cameras, sensors, wires, etc and then connecting it all to a main computer and then set up the wireless alerting devices - notifying you and then the police department? Is this a difficult project but worthwhile since there is no need for a monthly fee that you pay with other security systems?

Im installing 7 wireless cameras, and im just wondering if they are going to slow my internet down. Or vice-versa, will the internet interfere with the cameras.
