Now, do you have anything productive to add to the conversation that is in regards to options for security cams? Because, frankly, even if my shit is locked up tight, I still want a picture of whoever the ****er is that tried to open my door....... |

When the police saw the video, they went all out, dusted for finger prints, posted it online. shared it around the news stations. Still haven't caught the dude, but eventually he'll get hauled in for something else and be tagged for this as well. My father bought an outdoor version of the camera I bought. He had to hard-wire it though because his wi-fi router sucks and it wasn't picking up a good signal and strangling the bandwidth. It helps to have a computer acting as a server to record video 24/7. I have a HTPC I built that I also use to record the video, it dumps the old video after 200 gigs or so unless I tag it because something has happened, and it's motion activated. |

I never lock my car - just means I'll have a window to replace if they do want to look through it.
Expensive shit comes inside. Glad to hear some people have police helping out - I had video evidence, visible fingerprints on the window they popped out to get in, and the cops here didnt even lift them or ask for a copy of the video - just asked what was stolen, and said they would keep and eye out (ya right). To busy pulling me over for 58 in a 50 to catch anyone, useless sobs. |

If you want a video security system, any of the listed options are fine. The key is to save the footage to remote storage (IP) or to a physically secured device. If someone breaks into a home with cameras, they're going to be looking to take or destroy the DVR. We have a real problem with mail theft. We live in a remote area, so there are lots of curious people who think they can get away with things because nobody is looking. So we nailed a fake $20 camera to a utility pole, focused on our mailboxes, and ran some cabling to keep people guessing, and also posted a few signs that the general area is under surveillance. This deters the real dumbasses-- "crimes of opportunity". As a secondary measure, most of us have locking mailboxes which also do nothing, other than prevent opportunistic theft. Meanwhile, we have a fleet of battery-operated, cheap ($50) game cameras well hidden in various places that perfectly capture people and any vehicle (including visible license plates) in the area of the mailbox. So the sign postings are real. We've got people coming AND going. And we file police reports of suspicious activity. That might be an option for you. Put up a fake cam for cheap, and have a game cam hidden in a bush that's snapping anyone who walks up to the car. <$100 all in. |

Game camera is now what I'm looking at now for a temp solution, until I get a more comprehensive system built up.....I even know exactly where I'd put it. Excellent idea.....thanks for the heads up - I never would have thought of that. And yes....I generally always lock my door. Quiet suburbia sometimes you forget...and think "it'll never happen to me" Well.....I'll let our former Prez speak to my thoughts on that.....video quality leaves much to be desired, but the audio sums it up... |

If you do get an IP camera remember to change the password because you will get port scanned many times per day for that and they will be running a script to try the default login!
And your IP will be placed on a list. |

I would get a Trunk Monkey! All kidding aside, I'd like to get something myself. Not necessarily just to watch my car, but to keep tabs on the place when I'm gone. |

You think you live in a safe neighborhood??? I did too until the guy next door got busted for drugs. I had no idea. I downloaded the Raids Online app to my phone and was surprised at the break ins of houses and vehicles that happen around me every day.
I have had cameras both inside and outside now for about 5 years. I got a uniden system that is wireless and you can connect to your home computer to be able to watch online and record to your hard drive. I also downloaded a police scanner app and I listen to it every evening. You really get a shock when you see this on your camera.
