Speaking of buying things, anyone have any experience with survellience cameras?

A little. What do you need it to do? Indoor, outdoor, night-capable....

Marty · Jul 27 10 11:18

One camera. Night/low light capable. Preferably indoor but view of outdoor through a window (glare?). Recordable preferably wireless streaming. Motion activated. I need it to be high enough quality to get an image where a person can be identified with.

For the record, I am not stalking someone. I am having some issues with some punk ass kids in my neighbourhood causing mischief and I want to catch the little turds in the act.

I also want to know if I need additional equipment or if they make a stand alone camera that can do all of the above.

You might look at IP-enabled cameras...a bit on the expensive side, but they can stream video to a PC which can record it and trigger on movement:

That's what I was looking at. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need a converter box or anything like that.

I have 5 around my place set up. Have caught people in the act but trying to find out who they are is a different story.....

Go high end as the ones that where cheaper would not buy again

You have a brand preference or system preference? And on your cameras, can you actually see faces? Identifying them once I have an image won't be a problem.

[P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal]I just let my Electrician pick out everything. You have no problem picking out faces as for how clear all depends on the distance away from the camera. I have it set up that I can print it out to a colour print (high end) and they can be just as good a picture from my camera. I was having some issues and once I installed them (you can see them) 99% stopped.

So what's happening is we have these little punks who like to bang on my bay window at 2am. Last time, they chucked a Slurpee at my door. They've done it twice already so I have a feeling they'll be back. When they come back for round three, I want to have them on camera. I don't want them to know it's there because I want to bust them in the act. Then I will find out who they are and deal with them.

My idea is to mount a camera on the corner inside of my big bay so that it points across my lawn and when they come up to the window I'll get em on video.

I was looking at stand alone cameras because I don't need a big expensive system and I was concerned about glare.

Yours have infrared DDD?

DDD · Jul 28 10 02:04

Ass breath..................poor doggy

When it's on a dog from eating bad food it's "poor doggy" but when a man has it from eating * it's suppose to be sexy?

Anyway, the last thing I bought was last night's dinner.
