Re: security camera - save to disk advice please

There are fake cameras with blinking LEDs that are cheap and may be
worth a try. The other technique that can be quite effective is to get
your daughter to apologize for being a bitch to somebody she pissed
off. There is usually a reason and it seems to be working.

Three times says someone's going to get the cops called on them and be
forced to make restitution. Fake cameras don't cut it when you're talking
hundreds of dollars to repaint a car.

Well, there's always the chance she's not the problem. It'd be a bit
friendlier, and you'd make yourself look less like such an ASS to everyone
else, to consider that first. But then you're ASA material, sadly that's to
be expected.

And they look just like fake cameras with a little blinking red light.

Actually Panasonic used to sell "gutted" Nuvicon and Vidicon tube
cameras (with the lenses and brand/model numbers intact). These were
once *real* cameras so you couldn't tell the difference. I still have a
couple (I think). :-)
