Hi all!
This is my first post to the board, but despite my "newbieness", I'm hoping you all could help me out with this.
Im moving to the Mountains soon to a fairly remote property. It is approximately 11 acres and is completely surrounded by woods. For our location, a home security system would be rather useless in that if someone were to actually break into our home, it would take at least 30-45 minutes minimum for authorities to arrive.
Therefore, I would like to build a monitoring system that will alert me immediately if someone were to enter the perimeter of the property. I'm looking to build a system that will do a number of things, to include:
1. Detect any movement in the woods
2. When movement is detected, turn on tree mounted flood lights and video camera (CCTV or wireless), alert me inside the house and let me view what is going on with my TV or other monitor.
Obviously I am going to need NUMEROUS sensors and lights, but I would like to keep only one monitor, so obviously I will also need some sort of control unit to make all this happen.
Anyone have any experience like this? I would be VERY, VERY appreciative of any info any of you might have.
Sounds extreme I know, however, recently I woke up one night to my dog barking, and had a laser light coming through my window...SO, I'm getting out of the city, and I don't want anyone else anywhere near that close to my house again!!!
THANKS!
Mike
Thanks!
