Here's how "obvious" the camera's are:
They're silver in color and along side the motion lights(which are white). You have to click on the thumbnail to get the full size capture.

They're handy, but they're fun too. You can watch yourself mow the yard in high speed(fast forward) if you want. Keep an eye on people you hire to do work around the house when you're not home.



But, for $700 you could buy another nice gun, whatever you choose.

$700 and you'll need to designate a computer to be your DVR and server. And as long as you have an internet connection and Internet Explorer(Active X control) you can monitor it from anywhere in the world(or outer space if they have internet there). In addition to my computer(DVR), I have a little netbook hooked up to our TV in the bedroom, so that if I want to see what's happening outside, I just need to change inputs on the TV and take a peek.

A lot of people that come to the house for whatever don't even notice them and if they do they just shrug it off. I installed these when the house was being built so it made it easier, but if you can somehow fish the wires(one wire per camera-supplies power and carries the video signal) then it shouldn't be too bad to install on an existing home.

Video camera's are cool:

Are you in a subdivision where there's only a 10-12 foot space between houses? Not that-that matters, just curious.

I would put up lighting, not only can this be a deterrent to the bad guy(s) at night, but it may even scare them off(if the lights aren't on when they decide to trespass). If they decide to stay after the area is all lit up at least you can(hopefully) see the perps. I have motion sensor flood lights on each corner of the house, coach lights at the front entry way, coach lights on the garage, motion light over the garage(side load garage) and one of those vapor type lights(kinda looks like a street light) on a separate detached shop/garage(in the back yard). When all those lights are on at the same time(which they rarely are, unless I'm checking for any burned out bulbs) it's like daylight.
