A shotgun also helps. Perhaps a sign that says:
"No trespassing, I have a shotgun and a shovel. Any questions?"
But thats usefull only if they read english. :-)
That said, motion is a very cpu intensive way to detect motion, I
looked at it too. The heyu/xtend with a eagle-eye PIR x10 motion
detector won't overheat the cpu.
