    Well Monitoring

    Meh, the collapsible cones are lighter. Probably told her to take what she could find out back. Probably most don’t even need/use cones. Might not be the city but a private compan, so they probably don’t know the regs. why she’s not using a cordless is weird, unless that’s too heavy for her…

    Vacant home: cameras or security system?

    Wasnt meant to be my first post, but… What about using “Alfred” on a few cellphones running off the WiFi? And probably something similar but better is out from when I looked at that option…
