High Tech Security for $30

For all of you closet growers living with other people....worrying about people snooping around in your room sucks. Even with people living alone, a little security never hurts. My roommate knows I grow...but sometimes I wonder if he's fucking around in there...shit grow aside just in general. Sure you could put a lock on your door, but a credit card will usually bust right through that with a bedroom door. Thats when I started thinking creatively, and I thought:

1. I have a Macbook Pro with a built in iSight
2. It's right next to my closet
3. Technology can do anything

Then BAM, it hit me...I could use my computer as a security cam. But who wants to looks through hours of video files? That's a little crazy...then I thought....MOTION DETECTION.

With a little google-ing, I came across an awesome app called EvoCam. In a nutshell it turns your built in iSight into a powerful security system. You can arm a motion detector within the app to perform an action when someone walks by your computer (which sits on my desk, right next to my closet...impossible to not walk by to get in there). It can play a sound, say something...but the best part is IT CAN EMAIL YOU THE SECOND IT'S TRIPPED...and provide a snapshot in the email. For those of us with iPhones or any other phone with push email, we can know who was snooping around the second they do it.

The app only costs $30, however you can get a free trial for 15 days. Well worth the cost.
