I don't feel one way or the other about DIY'ers. They're not my
customers ... now. Maybe someday if they run into problems.

I took a brief look, too much to take the time to read it all but just
some quick observations:

I don't know anything about creating websites or whats good or what's
not. It's like football. I can't play it. Know very little about it
but I know a good game when I see it. Yet I can't tell you why a bad
game is bad. However that might be tempered with my opinion of a
Baseball game. I think they're all bad. Besides, if it can't be done
on a boat, who cares?

With regard to wireless, I don't see anything about the receiver. If
not there ... somewhere you have to know the size of the house and/or
the type of structure. But I don't know how you do things, maybe this
comes up when you actually talk to them.

With Cameras, regarding lenses. Honeywell has a great lens calculator
that you might be able to direct them to. You can download it to your
computer. It actually shows the size that a human will appear at
various lens settings It allows you to make sliding adjustments for
camera height, distance, CCD size and lens adjustment.  I'm sorry but
I don't remember what part of their site that I got it from.
