Chorlton Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm no CCTV or security expert Rob101 but with the break in you've had and what you've explained about you rural local I'd be fitting physical security to the garage, shed & house then dummy bellbox & cctv cameras for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Think very carefully about this. Will CCTV stop you getting burgled? No. Will you be able to cry watching footage of 'someone' unidentifiable in a hoody walking away with all your stuff? Yes. Physical Security first, Alarm second then CCTV. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubit Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 CCTV may be a tool to aid with the apprehension of intruders BUT it is certainly not the be all and end all of security. Some many times have i witnessed images from very good cctv systems and to be honest most times the images were ok but not the best things in the world Now only having Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob101 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Good point about CCTV not stoping the burglars but presence of CCTV will deter people. I am a joiner by trade so I am a little clued up with security regarding stronger doors, locks etc... No matter how much I spend or do within in reason they will still get in. By making a building more secure this will slow the burgler down and hopefully someone will spot or hear the burgler. As I have explained already with my location there is no one to see or hear anything in the daytime. However I will obviously upgrade the security on the doors etc as this will detur the inexperienced burgler. Or I could use the old traditional method of man traps, punji pits and other booby traps LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorlton Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Or a moat & crocs IMO rob. seriously though do your chippy stuff to make entry as difficult as possible & go for a dummy bellbox and dummy cctv until you can get an intruder system and/or cctv system that will provide remote indication of a break in.

Rob101 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 So can anyone recomend a DVR unit to do the job and a decent camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob101 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Also I am thinking of a PIR system something like this If it is loud enough it should alert me at night if there is someone there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
