stand alone cctv help please

[extreme-4x4]

But I should add that, the best deterrent, is the fact that something resembling a camera is seen, and a notice or two that states cctv with 24 hour recording is in operation, they do not know if it is dummy or not, but will assume it is real unless proven otherwise, Rick

trust me they are dumb enuf to test it . and i would really like to nail these kers once and for all , but in the short term could buy me some time . good advise

i put stickers up in my windows, visible, but only enough so I can catch them looking. Ive found my wireless IP's to be perfect for me, i.e. someone with no money to spare! If I wanted to, I could even setup a laptop somewhere, anywhere, and have the cameras record all the time, but I agree that a dvr is the better option if you have a few more pennies. The company I work for sell them as well, www.iviewcameras.co.uk not sure if we have any cheap deals though, but generally the cameras are good quality.

Colin I assume you've called the police????? So what if they are getting fed up - its what they get paid for.

One cheap option will be a webcam wired to your lappy but of the sort that has a motion detector so it only records when it detects movement. I've had one in the past but chucked it out when i upgraded.

Not tried this but worth a squint...

na it'll be one of them the more you buy the cheaper they are things

 

[harlowmaverick]

Well it sounds like your facked if you do and facked if you don't!

Are you sure that it's not some sort of plan to intimidate you into moving?

It sounds like the only way to stop this is to give up ya job and sit at home all day, just like the bastards that robbed you, fit an alarm with police response when you can afford it may be your only option

Erm.....Yes!:doh

What you have to remember with cameras, is the kids all wear hoodies anyway!

Decent locks and a narky dog help no end - burglars are wimps really!

 

[extreme-4x4]

my problem is not with kids or hoddies. its my ex and her b/f

Are you telling me you got rid of a narky dog?:lol


Ex's can be a pain - I had a real bunny boiler once, took years to get rid of her - In that case, get some cameras and an injunction!

If she is entering without your permission, then she can be arrested - get a basic camera system, or even a cheap concealed system and use that to catch her out.

If you can find them cheap enough, try to get some 10 lever locks (keys look like they are pimpled)

it will all be dealt with soon, just not soon enuf
