I have installed wireless IP cameras at my house in the mountains with Blue Iris software to allow 24/7 monitoring of the premises. This system has built-in motion sensors and night vision. When the motion sensor is tripped, two pictures are sent to my email account. A short video is also made and recorded. Without going into details, this house is in a very remote location with few people in the immediate vicinity. However, anyone doing surveillance within the radius of one mile would be noticed and reported.
The cameras are inconspicuous but effective as shown here. The individual in the first picture had already walked up the stairs to my second story, knocked on the front door and received no reply. He then went to the side of the house and checked the interior of the home as seen in the second picture.
Based on the time stamps, this individual went back to his vehicle and came back ten minutes later with what appears to be a computer and radio antenna.
He then sets up at the rear of the house for what I believe was the alignment of a long distance, parabolic antenna. This location of the alignment is the only part of the house where it would be practical for monitoring due to the terrain. Also, the monitoring point is across a valley two miles away but conveniently across state lines.
I know that no one entered my home but this incident pointed out some weak points in my security by showing the need for additional cameras (already purchased). It also pointed out the necessity to implement and refine security measures now on a larger scale. But even more important, it shows that no location is safe or should be considered safe in the future.
I sent these pictures to several individuals for their opinions prior to writing this article since I did not want to jump to any conclusions and wanted to solicit other possible explanations for this "visit". One individual stated that this man "can't be a three letter agency and be so inept", he did not say anything about a five letter agency.
I had hoped that this type of activity would have stopped after my IRS harassment was closed by filing a court case against them in 2010.
Will we regain our country in the future? In the sixth book of the 299 Days series, Glen Tate wrote something that has given me more hope than anything else: the people left in government are incompetent and have no conviction. As evidenced by these pictures.
Back!
Random apostrophe apostasy!
Dahyum!
I’m target rich! erh rich’d...
Even worse!
When I lurk, typsos increae!
Theyre unstoppable!
Or was that “unstoppered”?

Hey, how’d she get in this manual?
You know, at Wifi frequencies of say 2.4 GHz or even 5.8 GHz, you really didn’t need that green laser to lockup on that 100 mile tower....at those frequencies a little 12 inch parabolic dish with prime focus feed would give you about a 28 degree or 11 degree beamwidth for those frequencies, respectively. The Friis path loss at those two freqs is 124 and 131 dB, respectively.
That’s why those little 12 and 18 inch millimeter wave dishes are so useful....very high gain, 1-2 degree beamwidth and enough gain on them to punch through some of that 148 dB path loss compared to those much lower frequencies.
Yup, didn’t really need the laser but since we had it it was just too cool an idea to pass up. It was surprising that the guys at the other site could see the green laser so well. Humidity was about 8 percent so it was crystal clear that night.
This is nice...

Yes...nice sheet....
I did my own in Excel that allows me to do the whole link with losses, transmitter power, antenna sizes on both ends, distance and even noise figures and receiver bandwidths added so I could determine what the received signal level would be with respect to what the noise floor of the receiver would be..
Yea...I like those little lasers....they pack a punch and are easier to see, I think...
I was watching some obscure movie with her in it...
