reply in one long e-mail rather then send out multiple copies.

Thought about, just haven't bothered attempting to implement it yet. 
Not sure that I want to either since I doub't I'll get that many
visitors to the garage cam once it's up.

This application really will be more for home security then anything.
All but the garage cam will not be publicly accessable.  As far as the
bedroom cam goes, my wife would shoot me and she knows where the guns
are so I take the threat seriously.

Thats right Allyn, it's all your fault.  You are correct though, for
what you are doing a PTZ really wouldn't work.  And a time lapse for the
project you are doing will be very cool.  However, since I'm just the
average garage monkey, not too many interestings things will be going
on.

That was just cold man.  I only put the wife in the cage when she swipes
the keys to the rocco and takes off without asking. >:)
