[lug] off-topic: wireless ip security

[Jeff Sowders]

I have always used Axis camera's.  they are very easy to setup and you have
a version of linux on them so they are smart.   I have set them up to alert
me via email and upload a picture to an ftp site if motion was detected.

Depending on the versions you buy you will have different options.

Sounds like you might not deter the thieves since they didn't care about
the dogs but this will allow you to capture their image.
