it worked fine for me because once it sees motion it beeps inside my house and ill either check it out or ill watch the video later, its got good pictures quality for me in about a 20 or 30 FT range because i have some large flood lights surrounding my house and if there is motion they all kick on and if their is a window or something tamperd with my ADT security system that i riggged with a WW2 air raid siren will kick in and of course saide freaks out best security system ever

I let Comcast know about the missing remote...they said they postitvely sent it to be signed for...and they're contacting the P.O. for payment!
Hurray Comcast! For once....

Maybe your mail lady is afraid of you? But do not hesitate to talk to the postmaster for your ZIP code. If your carrier is incompetent, they need to know about it. She could very well be doing it to other. And if not, you know what? At least you made it known that there is a problem. And if there are MORE problems, then you should complain. And once there are a long list of complaints... well, she could lose her job. Don't choose to not do anything because of possible retaliation. If you know you're in the right.... there's nothing to be afraid of, K?

One time, I was coming out of Target. Gabi and I had just bought a bunch of awkward materials for a school project (with which I ended up having more fun than she did ). And just as I get the stuff into the back of my SUV, I'm telling Gabi to get in the car so I can find a basket corrall. I didn't want her "helping" me find one because we'd almost gotten mowed down earlier by an Excursion driving like a maniac in the parking lot a little earlier. Just as I start to shut the hatch and look around for the corrall, here comes Cute Dad and Adorable Boy. This adorable 7 year old boy in his karate duds touches the corner of my basket and asks, "Ma'am, would you like me to take that inside for you?"

Me: !!!
Gabi: Cool! You do karate!?

And then they had a great 7-year-old conversation about karate and Kim Possible while I stood there like... are you guys for real? I finally sputtered out a 'Yes... thank you!' Restores my faith that everyone is not an oblivious lazy bum waiting for the shopping basket fairy to clean up their crap.
