Late last week a neighbor chased him out of my yard again ...
Wired or wireless , and I have a comp with extra storage for the
video . Sound isn't necessary , I just want to capture and record
video of any and every one who enters my yard . I want quad
real-time display , and a minimum
of 30 fps (ntsc) per channel recording capability would be nice .


Photo is cheap and possible with a motion-sensor camera from a hunting
store. Usually available for around $20-50 too.

I'm leaning more towards a system that will record the images on a comp
HDD . Got an external 60Gb setup that I can use , currently has backups on
it , but I got lots more drives that data can be saved on .

Personally, I like the idea of semi-harmful boobytraps.

So do I . Non-lethal , I could say more but I won't .
