For example my primary car is a Saturn Ion that I paid $500 for because it had issues running and I fixed it. I do all my own car work form changing oil to swapping engines and body work. My car insurance is inexpensive. I have no cable bill, just an antenna for free channels and a monthly bill for basic internet, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. I do all my own plumbing, wiring, concrete, landscaping, wood work, etc. on my house and only bring in a contractor for what I absolutely have to.

I spend so much time doing things myself to save money, that it's nearly impossible finding the time to enjoy the money I save! A fortunate problem to have, I know.

So yeah, if you saw me walking around walmart in my usual greasy torn up clothes your first thought wouldn't be, "I bet he has a sweet night vision set up." haha.

Oh yea, also no kids, never married. And I have an amazing and understanding girlfriend.

I bet he has a sweet night vision setup. LOL seriously funny. Took me a year to read it

It wouldn't even be difficult to design something that would turn on IR sources based upon movement using some nifty Microwave sensors that are cheap.

Now, let's say you have some sentry guns laying around. The MW sensor lets the sentry gun that there's movement afoot. The sentry gun swings to the preprogrammed coordinates of that sensor, IR lights up the area, sentry gun zooms in on target using a good quality camera.
