hehe love it, especially if you rigged it up to one of the motion
activated hose pipe gun things, so...oik rings bell, system decides
oik below minimum height restriction, system activates camera for
later you've been framed submission, energises motion activated water
gun, oik gets soaked, ....

....obviously in an ideal world you'd replace the water gun with a
full action BB gun/assault rifle/flamethrower....depending on the
level of hatred to the oiks in your particular area!!! hehe :)
