A shotgun also helps. Perhaps a sign that says: "No trespassing, I have a shotgun and a shovel. Any questions?" But thats usefull only if they read english. :-) That said, motion is a very cpu intensive way to detect motion, I looked at it too. The heyu/xtend with a eagle-eye PIR x10 motion detector won't overheat the cpu. >Billy -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
