I got the neatest commercial quality camera system installed into my show barn. One camera per stall plus one on each end of the barn shooting the driveways and barn lots. These are all hardwired into a computer that time stamps and records directly to the hard drive. I can view what is going on in each stall via internet in real time wherever in the world I am! Now, boarders can zoom in and watch their horses from work, home, vacation or even their Blackberry. How cool is that! Plus, the program lets you zoom after the fact and has also has time markers, visual aids and extreme activity alerts. Which means that if I have a horse cast or rolling, I can get alerts sent to me. The system can also tie into our ADT to alert the fire dept & police. Just too cool!

FYIand Question:
Not too long ago was a posting in which the following question was asked. "Can a LCD be left in a LQ over the winter?" My Mrs. Santa Clause just purchased us a LCD TV for our seasonal home, and was specifically told by the salesperson, that it was not supposed to be subject to any freezing temperatures. To do so would incure damage, and it would void any warranty. She was told to bring it home in the fall, and store it over the winter at a room temperature.
We have a portable dvd player that we have left in the LQs without any problems for a couple of years. Many vehicles, RVs, campers and trailer LQs are equipped with DVD's and screens, that are not removed in frigid weather. I haven't heard of any reliability problems, resulting from them being subjected to cold temperatures.
Are there any electronic wizzards in this forum that know what the correct answers are? Can all LCD displays be damaged by freezing temperatures?

My IT guy installed it so I will have to ask him the specifics. Shoot me a PM with your email and I can get the info for you. I looked at the systems that Sams, Costco, Radio Shack and ADT offered. This was more expensive but is a higher grade. It is the same commercial system that he has installed in grocery stores in his neck of the woods.

I didn't get dirt. And I specifically asked for it! I wanted to redo my stalls. Who needs perfume when you can get dirt? Well, maybe the mats to go over it too...

Santa (AKA Hubby) bought me the prettiest pair of purple SMB3 sport boots. I'll my stylin now out on the trail. I also recieved a very pretty horse print purse and wireless weather station. My momma got me a very cool bird identifier book that also has the bird calls associated with each bird. Also a $50 Wal-mart gift card! Going shopping today.

A very nice big check! Gonna buy (2) 2000 watt quiet Honda generators and parallel cord, so I can run the AC when it's hot and not bother my camping buddies.
