My tires got slashed. I know who did it, but have no proof. I need a security camera for outside. I would prefer for it to have a motion detector. Color doesn’t matter & sound doesn’t matter. I need it to be the lowest cost as possible. Thanks!

I don’t know if the best is right, but certainly the easiest to install at the lowest price is the X-10 brand.

We are going to install a security gate on our driveway with a solar powered automatic opener on it. It will have a key pad to enter a code to open it. How does this work with shipping deliveries? Also things like fire/police/ambulance? I understand the opener can have multiple “codes” so do we keep one on file with emergency and shippers or is their a way to add the “gate code” to the return address field on shipments? Thanks!
I had emailed UPS and just got a call from them… the lady said security gates are quite common and we just call them with the “code” and it will be kept in the truck. No big deal. I am often on the road with my business and not at home (a reason for the gate) so an intercom would be of no use.

Most delivery businesses have “Delivery instructions” that can be placed with the shipper. Not sure about emergency services so I would contact them.

We have a garage not attached to the house (with electricity) that we can keep the car in, but I want to get an alarm system. I’m looking for something that just sets off a siren, not a monitored thing. Any ideas or websites I can check out?

Answer by Jim S
Here’s one site I found when I did a web search for “home security”. Remember, unless someone’s home all the time any system doesn’t do much if it’s not monitored. If you insist on going it alone, at least buy a system that will send a message to your pager or phone.

What do you think? Answer below!Question by fengineer08: Good security camera for monitoring my driveway?
I’m looking for an affordable home security camera system to monitor my car in my driveway at night. I have poked around online a little bit and have found a few simple looking systems. I’m looking for something that can record onto a hard drive, no VHS, and I’d like to stay away from a DVR too. Does anyone know of a good company that makes something like this? I only need one camera and it can be mounted indoors (indoor porch window overlooks car in driveway), and I need decent night vision capabilities.
Again, I’d like to find something that can record onto a hard drive or a jump drive or something like that.

Add your own answer in the comments!Question by : My car left oil spots on the landlords driveway, can this be deducted from my security deposit legally?
I’m a tenant moving out on June 15th, my car leaked oil for a while (didn’t have money to fix at the time) so in effect, our asphalt driveway has oil spots from my car.
I’ve tried cleaning them but they won’t come out. We lived at this rental for 2 years and I’ve never been given any warning about the spots, I don’t even think when the landlord came he even noticed them. The house is older and I can guarantee the driveway hasn’t been resurfaced or treated within the last decade.
Come move out can he legally deduct any money from the security deposit?
I do admit I made the spots, it was not intentional and for the life of me cannot get them out.
My lease has no specific provision about the driveway it just has the outside grounds must be kept neat although he pays for lawn care.
I’ve been told cars leak oil and this is wear and tear, a damaged driveway short a of a specific lease provision prohibiting such an act, this is wear and tear.

The house is over 70 years old, it’s most likely been decades since the driveways been repair or maintained, meaning the actual value of the driveway should be 0 given the duration from last repair.
When calculating the value of a driveway, if not repaired in decades, I assume you cannot draw a value given it’s value is 0 if a really old driveway.
Now if this driveway were resurfaced or sealed 2 years ago, I could understand assuming an actual dollar damage given it’s new life.
It’s like trying to charge someone damages on a 1970 black and white tv, correct? They have no value.
If I damage a 1970′s tv, it has no value.
If I damage a 1970s driveway – it has no value.
If I damage carpets that are 20 years old – it has no value to quantify damages.
How can you say I’m responsible if the driveway is very old, doesn’t it fall under wear and tear assuming the driveway hasn’t been refinished in a long time?

Answer by Flower
Of course he can charge you for the work. It will take some kind of industrial cleaning to remove them for the next tenant.
