Tom,

There is a cheap solution combining camera/pc card that you can watch with a
camera a gate or a door or anything, then draw in the observed picture a
rectangle and when someone enter to the marked area then alarm is activated
on the pc speakers.
furthermore, the software will record 24/7/365 each camera with time and
date and many features.
card: about 300$ up to 4 cameras include internet/modem/network control, and
many functions...
color ccd camera: about 70-100$ depend on the quality and the case.

Subject: [OT]: Security systems


Hi,
   I have a friend who lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere but
right next to the turnpike, I get a little worried about her that
someone will turn up int the house uninvited. I'm interested in setting
up a computer/pic based security system out side to hopfully track
things moving through the yard. Can anyone point me to some cheap
interesting sensor equipment that have a decent range and the ability to
pinpoint the 'detection' rather than just provide and on/off indication?

  Cheers.
