no DVR attached as i dont feel like looking at footage of birds and leaves blowing in the wind. i have it setup to record using motion detection. it sends me a snap shot photo with time mark + camera stores the footage for like 30sec or so unless more movement is detected.

it's a wireless to network system.

the previous system i had was more of a small-business type with a dvr and while it was great since i only needed to setup one IP for the entire system, it wasn't as flexible as i was stuck with the cameras i got with the system...and their cameras were too SECURITY CAMERA looking.

the current network cameras is just a white box about 3x3". unless pointed out you can't see it from the outside of the house.

Having said that, I would like 2 cameras. One to monitor my front entry, and one keeping an eye on our fenced in backyard... Just cuz.

hi mr. gale.

yah, no man door is a great idea. ive heard vandals usually break-in from those doors vs the garage door. honestly, i dont think one can actually break through a garage door unless they can wirelessly steal your code.

my security system also works on backup battery power and auto-dials via traditional landline separate from power, so it's pretty fail safe.

A garage is a must where ever I move though.

hey there, mr.zman!

sounds good. garages downtown are usually expensive + if it's an affordable old fashion place, better watch out for mice. they will nest under the hood and eat at your plug wires and other soy-based plastic bits on the car.

Oh, I dont mind gun talk, actually. I have guns and I use them... although Mrs. LunaZ says I don't need any more people guns because I'm not using the ones I currently have.
Me looking at an MP-5 at a show: "I need this."
Mrs. LunaZ: "What's that one for?"
"It's a tactical entry weapon."
"So, not for squirrels?"
"It could be, but it's more of a people gun."
"You don't need any more people guns."
"Sure I do!"
"How many people guns do you have now?"
"Well, any of them would work on people, but the ones I wouldn't take hunting? Four."
"And how many people have you shot?"
"Ummmm..."
"That's what I though. You're not even using the people guns you have now, so what are you gonna do with another one?"
I can't argue with her accountant's logic.
But anyway, I digress. I don't post about my views on guns or gun laws on the interwebs because it has a tendency to get heated. I've lost friends over internet arguments about gun control. Ah, Democrats.

Obvious solution: go shoot people so you can buy your MP-5.

disclaimer: only shoot people where it is considered legal. To do so otherwise is not a good idea.

hey congrats, dembflyr. is this your first kid? if so, new dads-to-be do crazy things sometimes out of excitement. remember, being a dad is an addition to your life, not a replacement.

you might want to keep your Z and get a dd you can carry your new baby in. enjoy being a dad and yourself. take it from a dad with 2 kids.

GL!

Thanks Kenchan. Yes this is my first biological child. My wife has a 8 year old that I consider my own. He loves driving with me in the Z and was devastated that I am selling.

I did not come to this decision lightly and actually my wife was dead set against it.

There are many factors in my decision. Not just the new daddy factor.

I will be back in a Nissan/Infiniti at some point..... Maybe a 2015 Z?
