DIY: Home Surveillance System with VLC

Posted 1335 days ago - Debian, Free Stuff, Security · Leave a Comment

The current state of the global economy has shot the U.S. unemployment rate up - waay up. As a result, more people are willing to commit crimes in order to provide for themselves or their family. Just this year, two houses that share the street I live on were broken into. Based on the alleged stolen items, the crooks appeared to have prior knowledge, but I'm not taking any chances.
