Security Camera setup

[Bradley Miller]

You can go Linux based and use a stand-alone camera like the Stardot 
Technologies system, or the Axis models.   If it's for a dial-up location, 
the Stardot models are a lot more reliable (something about the scripting), 
plus I like them overall for features.  Both cameras allow you to add 
external triggers, which would be a motion sensor in this case.  A clever 
disguise and viola!
