what can you recomend? ideally need 2 cameras that record to there own hard drive,preferably motion sensitive.
I have lived here for the last 12 years with no problems, but within the last three months my van has been stolen off the road in front of the house, got it back cos the little twats couldn't get round the pats,but they did manage to push it to the bottom of the estate ready to torch it. and had its tyres stanley knifed twice. also had one of the tyres on my runabout stanley knifed and tha lives on the drive.

 

depends on the budget mate, we fit alsorts from £300 to thousands

 

fucking shiregreen is doing my head in at the moment. and they are trying to put a gypo camp where the shiregreen hotel used to be,next to sicey motors.fucking stupid, its bad enough allready

 

im only round the corner mate, i thought it had calmed down on there :-(

 

Seens 2 camera set up's for around £150 thats with a 160gb HDD iirc, that was from a Pc Fair in Manchester.

are the camera any good though?

i did a set up a while back for the dog kennels, set up a pc to record to and 4 cameras the cameras were pretty good quality something like 320tv lines was the quality measurement it had on them

 

the problem you have is cameras will unlikely stop them doing anything unless your watching them. most will be aware of them so wear hoodies.

You need motion detect to alert you so you can batter fuck out of them.

also be aware that you need to ensure your DVR card on the computer records at the same or better resolution than the camera otherwise you will loose quality.

If its on the drive you can use motion detect on the whole area a bit better and use IR beams on the perimeter that set off an alarm in the house when someone crosses the boundry. off your land its harder as the software motion detect is not perfect.

Sounds like the same scum each time. only takes one scum family to move in and it attracts the scums friends who are also likely to be scum so one family can flood the area with scumbags.
