Duane Miller is the father of a five-year-old. He understands that "energy crisis" more than anyone. Keeping up with his little one is the equivalent of trying to pump energy to the city of Los Angeles.

"After reading about the XCam2 features I finally found a way to keep up with my son," he said. "He's very quick and mischievous." Two words that, when spoken together in reference to a five-year-old, can create exhaustion in the heart of any parent. "You think he's in one place, only to find him somewhere else, into something else." But Duane came up with an ingenious solution.

Duane set up several XCam2 Securtiy Cameras throughout his house and hooked up motion sensors to them. He put up a camera in every room that his son was allowed in. That way, no matter what room his son was in, he would trip the motion sensor, and that wireless camera would automatically turn on and broadcast the pictures up on the television. Now Duane knows where his son is at any given time, and he can keep up with the "little rascal."

"I'm not only be able to keep up with him," Duane says, "But I also record and share his adventures with his grandparents in Florida." He even says that he makes movies and shares them with his Internet friends. He leaves us with this parting thought. "I love the fact that I can use it to safeguard my home too… Well, have to see what my son is up to now. It's been a whole 5 minutes."
