3 camera systems--One obvious, one not so obvious, one REALLY
WELL HIDDEN and broadcasting off site.
Weld your computer case shut--then they can't get in (neither
can you, but buy good components, and accept that you'll have to
replace the case every year or two)--then it will be obvious.
I am more or less of the opinion that anything you _really_
want to keep from prying eyes should be done/kept on a laptop that
moves around with you most of the time.
