Are there any good keyless entry systems for houses that work just like cars? I like the idea of just hitting my remote and having the alarm switch on or off the the front door lock/unlock. Obviously there'd be a keyhole and alarm panel for those times the power goes dead. I'd hope you could make one a lot more secure than a car so people couldn't sniff the code or something. Someone breaking into my car is less of an issue to me than my house.

Thanks for the info, but you need a free hand to operate your car as well and keyless entry seems pretty popular with those. I would also get endless amusement from my front door going "boop boop" and having the porch-lights flash when I unlock it.  It's just one of those things I think I would like without being too gimmicky and possibly annoying like having biometric security on your front door.

Thomamelas posted:It's like that old chestnut of "The Video Must Be At X Framerate/in X codec/encrypted/watermarked for it to be valid in court". It gets tossed around a lot but the rules of evidence for it basically can be summed up as does the department swear it didn't gently caress with the video? Yes? Then no issue. It's funny you said this. Back when I worked computer forensics for the State police it used to come up every now and again that we could buy cameras that would hash each photo taken and write them to a CD so you could prove they weren't altered. One of the cops rightly said why bother with that poo poo when you can just ask the photographer under oath "is this a copy of the photo you took?" e: I might add that CCTV systems were a total nightmare for us. Every single unit used a custom codec and if we had access to the running unit it would only output 15 minutes at a time to a CD or something. Urgh. Hopefully things have improved in the 6 years or so since I've had to deal with them like that. Gromit fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jul 17, 2013 |
