[geeks] Security Systems

[Rick Hamell]

Hello All,

I find myself in need of a basic video surveillance system. Probably two 
or three cameras, maybe motion activated recording. Hooking into my Mac 
would be nice. I need one at the front door, and one covering the back yard.

I've looked at X10, but that seems to be replaced by something called 
Indigo but is more or less backwards compatible.

Other options I've found are two pieces of software that use cheap web 
cams.

Any comments on these three options? Anything else that I should look 
at? Anyone used either of these software packages?

Thanks Much.
