This is a sample picture captured from my camera
mounted on the front of my home. If someone approaches my front porch, a sensor mounted by
the porchlight will automatically trip the doorbell chimes in the kitchen & bathroom.
It also is capable of capturing a sequence of frames of video and posting them to my
homepage along with displaying the video on channel 83 on any of the televisions in my
home. In the evening the carriage lights & the porch light are normally dimmed to 15%
intensity, when tripped by one of the outside sensors they all go to 100% intensity. Also,
if someone rings my doorbell it will capture a video frame and send it to me via email. |

This is a sample picture captured from my camera
mounted on the back of my home, it is modulated to channel 115 throughout my home. This
camera, including 80 feet of cabling & power supply, is from Target and also has an
audio feed - not bad for $30 (on sale price). Specific sensors located in the rear of the
house/yard will turn on lighting (if dark) and trigger a VCR in the house to record for 5
minutes - longer if the sensors are repeatedly tripped. |

This is a screen capture from my HomeVision unit
which can be displayed on channel 120 on any television in my home. Along with displaying
the current time and date it also displays various temperatures inside and outside of my
home, number of pending emails, emails from specific people that I have marked as high
priority, outside motion sensors and whether a specific door is opened or closed. |

The following is a screen capture (click on it
for a full size version) from a program I wrote in Visual Basic 6 that displays various
events, statuses, and controls that are available to me via my Home Automation computer.
Specifically designated events and/or indoor & outdoor sensors will trigger the
computer to call my cell phone, along with other designated phone numbers, to inform me of
what event occurred along with the date and time. |
