One of the best ways to keep house safe and beef up vacation security is to install your own video camera surveillance system. This will not only be a visible deterrent to those who might try and abuse your absence to break into your property, but in the case of an actual break-in there will also be footage on hand to assist police with their inquiries.
Despite popular belief, you don't have to spend large sums of money on a video surveillance system- you can actually make your own for less than $100. Using a webcam and a cell-phone you can have a vacation security system that you can check from anywhere in the world where there is cell-phone coverage. Don't spend upwards on $300 on an expensive store bought system that won't keep your house as safe as a custom-built camera setup will.

You might want to try out GotoCamera's free webcam software to set up a vacation cam. GotoCamera: www.gotocamera.com is EASY to set up and easy to use. All you need is a webcam (a USB webcam such as those made by Logitech, Creative, etc, or even the webcam integrated into your netbook / notebook) and a Windows PC, and you’re ready to start. Once your camera is set up, you can turn on recording schedules, configure motion detection, share your camera with family, and access it from any browser, including your iPhone, so that you can remotely monitor your camera's recordings. This is perfect for people who're extra worried about the safety of their home when they go away on vacations. At less than $4 a month, it makes complete sense to me. Give it a shot, try their 1 week free trial and let me know how it goes :)
