Wireless home motion sensor or outdoor security camera recommendations?

I have a problem with people and friends who want to talk or see me if they can’t reach me on my cell to come outside, they resort to the advantage of being able to come to my back door to my room from my side gate to my backyard and banging on my window and door to come outside. And it’s been becoming a nuisance lately. More and more often they do it at all hours of the night and day. And sometimes I just don’t want to hang out or do anything because I’m usually very tired at the times they want to.

I am a fairly new college student who must, like any other student, get his work done on time and needs to focus on the fact that work is always before play. And I can’t seem to do that with friends that evidently don’t understand that I have work to be finished.

So, I was wondering if there is a product available that can alert me from inside my room that someone is walking through my side gate that I don’t want to know I’m in my room? I’ve seen a few products that looked very tempting at Home Depot that is a basic motion sensor that you attach to the wall or whatever location your needing it in, and the other piece plug into an ordinary household electrical outlet that "beeps" or alerts me that someone is coming around back.
That seemed very basic and a maybe a solution to my problem.

But if there is an outdoor surveillance/camera security system that anyone knows of that is preferably wireless and can deliver the picture to my TV inside, please let me know where I can get one.

Please and Thank you all for your helpful answers!

Side Alley Security Camera?

I have just installed a new security system at my home. All the entrances to my home are alarmed, I have new locks to the doors and outbuildings too. I have a motion sensor over my front door that will switch on a light inside the house when activated. There is however one area of my home that I cannot see with a window or is at all secured. It is my side alley on the side of my house. This area does not contain anything of value, however it is the only access to the garden. The alley has a secure gate and padlock, but it is possible to climb over this. The gate is at the front of my house and the padlock is the only security. I am thinking of installing a security camera to monitor this area. Should I do this? If I do, should I monitor the alley or the gate. Thanks so much.

PS. The camera will not record. It is just to connect to a monitor to view the area in case I hear anything and to act as a deterrent. The camera I purchased is a black and white wireless camera. I will situate the monitor in my bedroom.

Which security camera is best?

I’m looking for an outside security camera. I need one that will save images & record when there is motion detected. When I talked to someone they said I couldn’t do this without a DVR.

So I came up with these two cameras:

Outdoor security cameras?

Hello looking for an outdoor security system for a farm. Would like a system that has around 4 cameras, must have night vision, and must be able to hook up to a computer that will store the images/video and ftp them to my server. Also motion detection is a must. Wireless is not a must as the building where the cameras will be placed will also store the computer.

Is it possible to hook up a security camera outside to a laptop inside via WiFi?

My Fiance and I have had our car broken into a few times no matter whether its locked away behind gates or not and we have been to the police who have been no help and we are wondering about a security system that can be set up outside that will connect with a laptop via WiFi inside, which will automatically record if a motion sensor is tripped within the car. Is it possible to set something up like this and what would be needed to do so.

i need to see what's going on on my property?

Security camera system reviews?

I am shopping an 8 camera security system with night vision and motion recording for a small retail business. I need excellent resolution to capture and record shoplifting and exterior vandalism. I have looked all over the web for system and camera reviews – CNET, Consumer Reports, Google and I can’t find objective reviews just sites selling product. Can anyone here make a suggestion? All systems cannot be equal.

Thanks for any advice.

also, we are talking paper files, thats why i need a camera.

surveillance camera software ideas?

hi there. i’m currently developing a surveillance camera software as part of my school project.
currently, the software is able to control an ip camera’s movement and all the other basic stuff.
the software also acts as a security system, detection unwanted motion (ie. when shop is close).
it will then send an sms to the customer’s mobile and will also begin recording video footage.

is there any more innovative ideas that a surveillance camera software should or may have?
what’s lacking in softwares that currently out there?
or is there any other innovative usage for the camera, other than motion detection..

thanks!

Recommendation for a web-cam to capture a stalker.?

To start off, I’ve already been to the police and the court systems and have a restraining order against this individual. Even though I have this restraining order and have reported every time this person has "popped up" at several locations I’ve been to, I am certain this person has been on my property when I’m gone (I can’t go into the details).

I would like to know if anyone could recommend a good web-cam. I don’t have the money for a security system and survalance (sp?) cameras, but figured if I had something I could hook up to my PC computer and leave it on while I’m gone, it may help as evidence. I’m not very familiar with the web-cams and their programs and I don’t think I need web-casting (unless if someone knows of an easy and free one, I’d look into it). I plan on setting the web-cam in my window, looking down from a second floor window. It would be nice if it had a time-lapse feature and/or motion detector capability so that it records for a period of time if it sees motion (ie. someone walking across my lawn or driving slowly past my house). Also money, or lack of it, is a little bit of an issue, but not entirely. What megapixels are recommended, keeping in mind I’m trying to capture someone on video and it’s being recorded from a second floor window.

Any other advice would be appreciated. Please, keep the information pertaining to the web-cam, not what I should be doing to this individual.

Many thanks.
