Thread: Home Security

My front gate is 500m from the house and outside the range of affordable wireless IP type cameras so I'm using a GSM trail camera. I do have power down there so have added a couple of Infra-red spots to help the camera out a bit they have 30m coverage. Here's me arriving home tonight.


I'm still experimenting with camera angles for coverage and triggering and also with filters over the lens to help with picking out the rego plates because sometimes there's quite a bit of flare from the IR or even just headlights.

This is before I put the extra IR spots in....


And this is after, one IR spot is low and aimed across the gate to pick up plates on cars that stop there and the other is up by the camera illuminating the drive to illuminate people walking up.....

I wouldnt buy one of those IP cameras. I messed around with my camcorder on night vision mode and found that you need enormous power to be able to see further than 20m. I had an IR lamp hooked to my pcp airgun with camcorder hooked to rear of the scope. Still had to use a weak headlight (set on low) to get the possums to look at me

Anyway I'd upgrade to this one rather than the big bank of LED's that i did have. You can set em up to run off a car battery if you need to as well.

Yeah, that's a nice unit, but it's pretty big and I think you'd get quite a lot of red glow from those 850nM LED's. If they were 940's it'd be sweet and then paint it matt black and be very hard to spot. I'm trying to keep my setup as discrete as possible.

Those cams would need a login and password otherwise the crims could be watching you......bonk the misses on the lounge floor and next thing you are porno king on some seedy site....



Also I think they are real time only? ie no recording?

tussock-mate its got a shaft like a babies arm with a head like a policemans helmet!
i asked my local crim what he thought
'fuck man i know em ones OH shit ,other is OH dear
my mrs reckons they lookuncannily like me.
Im reporting her to SPCA

ive often toyed with idea of rigging a 130Db siren&battery of flashlamps to go off if anyone enters the no go area without permission.scare the shit outta them ,disorientate em temporarily then make em aware others know shits happening.

Steven

Are they not very secure even with a log on and password?

Do these cameras even have have a log on and password feature?

I thought I could begin the recording on the PC I have accessed the cameras from.

Like I said i know nothing about them but the idea sounds good.

Ive got a sign saying ;
never mind the dogs
but if my mrs catches you
to whom do i send the flowers???

We live rural and have 2 dogs wandering around at all times letting us know who is around.We also have 5 geese.The geese are far more reliable than the dogs,they even honk if the neighbor who feeds them comes over.

There are 27 houses on our 4 km long street,only 3 houses have dogs,and very coincidentally only those same 3 houses have not been broken into in the last 4 years.Some get broken into every few months despite having big noisy alarms.We have people slow driving along the roads all the time checking out properties who drive off fast when they see you taking pictures of them.
