Our vacation home is pretty much out in the middle of nowhere and there are often times that we are not able to get to it for a couple of months at a time. There really is no reason that any animal or person should come anywhere near it so we are thinking of installing our motion detector lighting in syn with our house alarm. That way if anything is there for an extended period of time we will get advance warning and either check it out ourselves or have the local authorities go and search it out for us.
