Been thinking about if to write this article for a long time, pondering the benefits versus the potential costs of what I’m about to write. Everything that will be illustrated here is available in the public domain and most of it has been so for well over a decade now. Been battled on this as there is the not so remote possibility that some bad actors could use it as some sort of inspiration, but given the current lack of understanding among those in decision making positions it is IMO important to expose what truly are the capabilities available thanks to modern consumer technology and simple online shopping. Some links, tutorials, videos and online shopping resources have been removed from the article or not included in ti hoping to make life a little harder for those hoping to use this as a guide, but reality is that details of most that we will be discussing are just a couple of google searches away.

In the last two decades consumer technology has done impressive leaps forward. General connectivity, sensors and micro computers are just some popular examples and all this advancements are crucial to what we will be analysing with this article. Also crucial is the internet in general and the impressive amount of informations, guides, software and general resources that are shared on it.
