Urgent! Pool Vandilized! Need Advice

[medvampire]

The above mentioned system is great but very pricey. I think I have about $30 in mine with 3 cams in the yard. I have motion self learning software running under linux. I have no need to pre program the software due to its ability to mask objects. The system also allows me to get a look from any where on the net from my dsl. I have motion sensors for lighting on my deck walk way going to the pool as well as infrared cams in non lighted aeras. I have cought the kids next door in 2 occations sneeking in the pool and could clearly id them. I guess all I am saying is you can do a good system with out going broke.

Barb--how crummy!! Sorry this happened to you. I have another cheapy "security" idea. We bought dummy security "cameras" from Radio Shack that look very real. They mount anywhere and have red blinking lights that run on 9V batteries. You'd be amazed at how effective they are at corraling OUR teenage kids as well as keeping others off the property. Good luck with your cleanup.
