This was set up as a home alarm and his system e-mailed him
at work that a burglary had taken place. The burglars did turn
the puter off but didn't steal it. If they had he wouldn't have the
pics I assume, unless he was also e-mailed those too

With web connectivity getting easier it would be quite practical
to install a battery-powered system like this in a vehicle, such
as a goods truck or flash sedan, or anywhere for that matter. I
did look into something like this a few years ago (non-www
though) using an auto-dialler and low-res video down the phone
line. But I suppose it's the "won't happen to me" syndrome
that stops people in general installing alarms. Sure, they'll put
one in AFTER the first burglary
