PC-Based Home SecurityWhen you hear the words "PC" and "security" together, you normally think about protecting the computer. But a computer can provide security as well! The latest TechBuilder recipe details how to Build a PC-based Home Security System. George Jones writes: "I wanted a keypad near the door that offered multiple options for arming the system. I required cameras capable of notifying me of suspicious activity near the front and back doors—as well as motion sensors that would disregard motion by my dogs. I also wanted the ability to automate the lights in my house. Most important, I wanted to manage the settings of my alarm system from a central PC. With the exception of dog-ignoring motion detectors, I was able to meet all my goals." Posted by Joe Caponi at 10:34 AM, May 30, 2006 This is a public forum.
