What's the cheapest way to have a text/sms/email/etc sent to me when my garage door is opened? I have a Visionic Powermax+ but I don't think that supports this feature.

I didn't mean for this to turn into a my HOA vs your HOA topic. Even if I wanted to investigate the possibility of mounting domes or what have you on my house I would have to drill holes, run wire, etc which isn't a option. So I'm curious if there are any better IP camera's given my situation...

Actually I think it might have to do with what state you live in as well. Ill run the idea by my wife (she is a lawyer) and see what she says. Absent that are there any better solutions that are wireless or close to no wires that will help me in my current situation? The only reason I zero'd in...

Sadly I have a budget for this project. I'd love to go all out and spend thousands of dollars but that just isn't in the cards. Any sort of camera mounted outside is a no-go due to HOA restrictions. They're pretty anal about everything (last year they checked door knockers). I live in a 3 story...

I understand that the BL-C131A has a faster processor and lower lux and the BL-C30 has a slower processor and higher lux so I'm still a bit undecided but I'm leaning towards the 131. But first another question: I'm planning on getting 3 cameras: 1) Second floor window looking out onto my...

I have a Visionic Powermax+ and a Teleguard TG-1 cellular communicator. Totally wireless and I didn't have to punch holes in walls.

Actually I don't think they can. I posted this first thing in the morning and didnt have any coffee :)

Based on a previous posting of mine I'm going to be getting a Panasonic IP camera. Since these aren't good at night time what is a good IR illuminator I can use to expand the night viewing capability?

No arguments there. I don't have that much budgeted for a camera right now and would love a $1000+ one. The camera would mainly be used during daylight hours and occasionally when the wife and I are out and about on weekend nights. When we go out we always leave a lamp on. I'm assuming that...

How about the processor speed difference. 30fps (131) vs 7.5 (30). Will I notice a huge difference? I assume yes?

I've decided I want to go with a Panasonic IP Camera since it seems to have solid reviews all around. I'm stuck between these 2 cameras. I know that the 131 has a faster processer and 3.0lux. The 30 has a slower processer and better lux (1.0). What camera should I go with? Does the 2.0...
