Next Step: Cameras!
Well, I was at work yesterday when my phone got an email from HomeSeer saying there was unauthorized motion in the kitchen (i.e., nobody home, but motion anyways). I called my wife to see if she was home, but she was also at work. I then logged onto my remote access website to see if there was anything else wrong. It only showed motion in the kitchen, but not in any adjacent rooms, so I thought it was just probably shadows or something. But this gave me an idea of what to do next (and my wife had the same thought!): cameras.
I need to find some way to figure out what is going on at my house should this type of alert happen. They don't really need to be hooked up to a DVR yet (although that would be nice in the future), but just something where I can log on the internet and make sure everything is okay. A new project begins...

I have installed cameras before but have no particular information for you. Look forward to seeing your progress!
Good luck

I'm anxious to see how this works out for you. I'm still in the 'feasibility analysis' stage of automating my home. One of the things I want to do is set up some cameras that are turned on by motion instead of being always on.
Well, Derek. Funny you should mention this. The automation part seems to be working out well... still a few kinks to be worked out even after a couple of months of being "stable". But based on my experience, get the cameras up as quickly as possible... see my next few blogs (once I get them up) for details.
