Vivarium Temp Control and Home security!!!

[Vivweaver]

Hello Every One,

I have finally found exactly what I'm looking for! I am in the security business, and one thing I don't mess around with is the security of my animals, home, and vivarium. But how? And who has money to pay for all the gadgets to make their life function with ease? ]

Who can afford a home security system, Tank animal temperature control? Most of all, what good is it if you can't check on your home from any where? (In my buisness we say any "field site")

The full service solution has arived. Not costing any more then a home security system, or a good temp control singly, this package I have built allows you to have it all!

I started with the 10x system that allows you to control lighting and power from a remote location. (Thank you Beckdg!) On top of this, I found a company called Ravica Temperature & Humidity Sensors - Environmental Monitoring Instrumentation For IT Networks

Ravica is a company that provides you with a temp and humidity guage, as well as a camera and alarm system all in one package.

To sweeten the deal, Ravica's switch has a built in web server, so you may access your information via web any where you go!

Here's a basic setup:

• One Camera
• Two Alarms
• One Temperature/Humidity sensor
• One Temperature Sensor
• One Switch

(That Camera isn't the one I'm going to use, but that's what Ravica offers)

Ok, heres the Senario: My wife and I are on vacation in Hawaii. We leave a friend to watch the animals. When we get back from surfing, I check my lap top for some errors. (The friend knows the camera is there, so he or she won't be indecent infront of it). Everything looks good. We go back to the board walk, hit a restaraunt for dinner, and back to the hotel. Before we jump in the hot tub, I see a notice that one of my out doors motion detectors has gone off. I check the camera, and alarm sensor, and see that the pet sitter has left three hours ago. Not a problem, probably a cat or bear. My window motion detector goes off, and the temperature starts to decline in my external temperature control. It has become apparent that a burgler has entered our home. Due to the alarm, the strobe light goes off, and scares the burgler away. We contact the police, pet sitter files the report, and we enjoy the rest of our vacation because the animals and pet sitter are safe.

What could have happened? The pet sitter and animals could have been harmed, house ravaged, and years of lost sleep and over parinia to come. All that could have been prevented with a lap top, and two or three checks a day. And with the newer technology, I can do all this with a black berry. Because the camera has such a high quality picture, police were able to put an AP on the suspect.

This all in one package is very affordable, and in my oppinion very worth the time and investment.

Warm Regards to all my Vivarium loving friends,

Sincerely,

Joe
One Eye Open Security

(If I had a security company, I would name it that )

very nice joe... i knew someone would put together one of my ridiculous ideas and researching 10x tends to lead you to so many different options due to everyone trying to out do it and corner their market.

Thanks. I'm one of those trying to out do it. In price and in function. I'm working on making an affordable package of the items listed above.

Your idea is still yours. I'm not going to try this until I get some time to teach myself Adobe's Flex: A new type of script used for dashboard/xml type of applications with flash player.

There will be more to come when I'm done!
