I know this has been discussed in the past,
but
since we've suffered from two, separate, mild attacks of vandalism at the
rear
of our property in the last couple of days, SWMBO has given outline consent
for
a CCTV installation, no, in fact she suggested it!
I've always considered that when I got round
to
this I'd stick enough cheap weatherproof cams to the soffits to give
all
round visibility. I'd never really considered beyond that.
The rear of our property (where the incidents took place) consists of
a
wall, about 8ft tall, between neighbours garages on either side.
There are
large wooden gates in the wall. The gates open out onto a
private
access road serving two other houses, not a busy road, and not well
overlooked.
Before parting with hard-earned I've now got a
few
questions, if I may;-
- A cheap cam installed at the rear is,
itself,
going to be vulnerable to attack, any suggestions?
- Recording strategy? Time Lapse?
PIR
Triggered?
- Recording to? PC?
VCR?
- Multiplexing kit?
I'd still like to go for some king of discrete
micro-cam under the soffits, I don't want the place to end up looking like
a
Fort!
The Response stuff seems to be well
recommended by
others here, but Homebase appear to be all but out. Where else can I
buy
this stuff? Do they have anything more vandal proof or can I link a
more
'professional' vandalproof camera into one of their
multiplexors?
I know B&Q and Makro are also good bets
but
haven't had chance to visit yet.
Thanks in advance.
