Hacked burgalar alarm
First off, if any of you know any Scottish people, get them to try and say "Purple burgalar alarm", they cant and just end up sounding silly. Its amazing. Just add Whisky for better results.
Now, my burgalar alarm keeps going off when the battery goes flat or we have a power cut, which is pretty annoying. So as we dont use it any more because of the cats ive been given permission from the long haired chief that i can hack it and see what i come up with.
So im open to ideas.
I was thinking that maybe i could use guilbot as a security bot and have him go and investigate rooms when the movement sensors pick anything up and have him record whats going on.

Our bot has one of these
Our bot has one of these types of cameras on it. Not this particular model, but similar. it works very well for video feeds. No coding needed. just plug it in and video is displayed on your tv. on the bot the camera runs off a 9v battery.

Kelvin Lawson has a really cool twitter burglar alarm project at:

I would like to try this sometime, but have it post to my facebook and twitter account. I think its a cool idea. If I was not home, and my alarm went off, out of all my friends I would think someone would get ahold of me. Plus you could have it email you and even sign up for a web based txt account and have it send you a text msg.
You could have the bot roaming and report status msg back. maybe an RFID tag that gets read from different sectors. Sector one, all clear. Time is 10:53 PM.
Intruder Alert! Lower level, Sector 2, Time is 10:55 PM, Video Activated. Video Broadcasting live stream. MSG sent.
Deploying tracking Measures....
Then paint the crook with neon glow paint, lol

I'll get one of my (Scottish) kids up here in a moment to say "purple burglar alarm". I don't imagine they'll have much problem, so it probably won't be that funny.
BTW, the power cut seems to have afected your keyboard.
