    Shoot me a PM and I'll get back to you. I can source any brand, any level of sophstication. Will be advertising in the Mag after the first of the year. You will get true wholesale prices, too. For alarms, I much prefer to use wireless. 25 years of installing, and seeing all the bad things that can happen, yeah, wireless. But, I could hide wire where nobody else could.

    Sure. No matter what you do, there's always a way. The goal isn't to make your house impregnable. It's to make it more annoying than some other house.

    Daisy has had the growl of an 80 pound dog since she was about 15 pounds. She's friendly to just about everybody but does have a good sense for when something's not quite right.

    Unfortunately, I'm more concerned with my garage being broken into than my house, and she lives in the house.

    Though she does help work on cars occasionally:

    So you've seen my house.

    No-one messes with a house that has an engine swinging from a tree and an F-body on blocks in the driveway.

    A gun lives in a house like that.

    In reply to CagleRacing: I'm not sure if this is the best place to seek buying advice on purchasing a home security system, but here goes... If I should post this elsewhere, please advise. I want a PVR home security system with both indoor and outdoor wireless cameras that allow me to use both my laptop with Mac OS X and my iphone to see the cameras on the internet. I also want IR night vision cameras and email motion-detector notifications. There is plenty of advice on the internet about such systems, but I want to hear from someone who personally successfully uses Mac OS X.

    Welcome to the neighborhood...

    I realize you're here to respond to a question, but unless you're an advertiser I kindly ask that you refrain from including sales messages or offsite links.

    I'm sure we'd like your forum too.
