A lazy man had to drive to a location (twice in a week) to open a garage door to receive a shipment. I, er, the lazy man that is, already had video surveillance of that location. So all the lazy man really would have needed to do was open the garage door remotely and watch to make sure the shipment was delivered and the door was closed (or do it himself) when the delivery people left.</blockquote>
