CCTV temporarily rendered useless

[wicklamulla]

Chap that lives in my area has alot of kit that is well secured away at noight, locked in sheds, yard secured etc. He has a landrover that is sat in the yard (no more room in the sheds) and the thieves keep draining the derv out of it. Seems a bit pointless as they get very little derv in terms of value it would seem.

 

He has had police come round and tell him his visible CCTV cameras are next to useless as the baddies simply zap them with a lazer which apparently 'scrambles' them for a short time !

 

He was telling my missus yesserday that he has noticed blank sections when he has replayed the footage and assumed the kit was faulty! Tink people will need to have covert cameras dotted about their yards to catch these scrotes.

Dogs are just to vulnerable to poisoning or a smack on the head. Often thought about a yard full of geese though as a noise deterrent

I have been thinking along those lines, they make pretty good guarders apparently.

I use a mixture of a whole load of different methods atm, but more is always better.

But it only really works of coarse if you live next to your yard.

They'd be coming about this time of year to clear you out and sell them round the corner for a tenner a bird.

 

As to lasers and cctv - I remember nearly 30yrs. ago, a friend had a shop with a blind alley, so there was a camera. Her brother came in one day with a laser pointer and pointed it at said camera. That trashed the camera in 2-3secs. Friend was not happy! The brother lost every Saturday for three months, minding the shop and not being paid, in order to cover the cost of a new camera.

It's getting harder and harder to keep our own possessions safe nowadays! Shame that the law would take the wrong side too if someone's yard was booby trapped and one of these rats got hurt whilst breaking in.

I have installed a parabeam alarm system. Had it for 18 months and very happy with it. Anyone goes near the barn triggers a sounder in the house and strobe/sounder in barn. Lots of options for triggering lights etc.

The only way to secure a building is by layering the security measures- deter, detect, delay, respond.

Oh and everything is smothered in smartwater, with signs stating the fact. I'm also a great believer in the old adage..

Car air bag unit, 12v battery and switch and a little imagination can do wonders

Some good options on that web site. Would you mind giving me a rough idea of the price for a full set up? Thanks.
