One of our customers has found the NightWatch and the EagleEye Motion Sensors to be an invaluable tool for her protection and security and peace of mind. Marie Connors told us that just a short time ago, her state opened up a maximum-security prison in her "back yard" so to speak. Needless to say, that has had her and the rest of the neighborhood more than a little worried. It’s one thing to know that crime and criminals exist, but it’s quite another to have them living just a few yards away. Even if the state can "guarantee your safety," there have been too many close calls and too many mishaps to allow you to feel safe at any given moment.

So Marie had only a few choices at her disposal. She could pick up and move, but try selling a house that close to a prison; She could run outside every fifteen minutes to see that "nobody was in the yard;" She could leave the local news on twenty-four-seven; Or, she could ride it out and hope that nothing happened. But not being one to stick her head in the sand, Marie decided that X10 might just be able to help her out in her dilemma.

Marie purchased the NightWatch camera, several EagleEye motion sensors, and the RoboDog. With the NightWatch, she could keep a constant vigil on her yard, even in very low-light conditions. With the motion sensors around the yard, she could tell if anything was out in the yard. Those few precious moments could be very helpful if she did have to make an emergency phone call. And the RoboDog would make an awful barking noise should it actually detect motion. "A lot of people are still very much afraid of dogs," Marie told us, "and I’m hoping that goes for criminals too."
