OMG you guys are awesome! Im going to call this project GOM (grumpy old man!) I will be researching all of this and working on it this week. I promise to reply with any results good or bad. Digip - I already use webcams with motion detection in a specific area, but it would be cool to trigger the cameras based on wifi signals on top of motion detection. Ironically my neighbor right in front of my house had his truck broken into last Saturday. They took a bunch of stuff. It had only been parked for 20min or so. My cameras would have captured an image, but his truck was not in my motion zones. The worst part was that they broke a window and scratched his paint too. My hope is that if it is the same people then eventually I will be able to identify them by MAC and any time they pass by my cameras will go off and I will get sms or email etc.

Sorry I just realized. SSID is on the AP side. I guess I am looking for the MAC or a device name or whatever I can use to track any device in the area.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I want to be able to track anytime a device(cell phone wifi or car wifi) is within range of my wifi AP. I live in a corner house have have a lot of issues with kids doing stupid things to my house. Since most kids have cell phones I was thinking it would be nice to be able to track when incidents happen and all the SSIDs (or something like that) in the area at the time. I also have a ring doorbell but it is easy for them to just hid their face. Is this already a thing? Is it possible? I have been googling for a while but I get all kinds of things unrelated. If I don't get this resolved I am doomed to be a grumpy old man! Thanks!
