Sounds cool. CCTV is a little further down my list but at the rate my
HA bug is gorwing and fast draining my bank account it may well
arrive sooner than I originally planned bank balance allowing :)

There is a method of catering for pets but I am not sure exactly how.
I know when I had my alarm installed the engineer asked about pets
since he was doing my bosses alarm at the same time and had to cater
for his collection of cats and dogs. I didn't get into any detail
with him but since he is often at work playing with their very high
security system (you would think it was Fort Knox rather than video
games development with the system they have :) ) I will ask him when
I see him next.
