C-bus Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I live within the outerbelt. My street has seen a higher rate of daytime crime. My house is well positioned for security with appropriate landscaping, fencing, dogs, alarm systems, etc, so I worry less about my house than others in my neighborhood. The trend has been the door-to-door "I'll see if you're home and then break in the back door".Question... If I bought a couple $100 game cameras to place strategically on my property, would it capture decent photos of trespassers? Both night and day? If so, better brands than others? Looking more for identification after the fact, as realistically there isn't someone who can sit and monitor movement all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You can buy cameras with all the wiring and a hard driver for $500, why not go that route? Then you can connect the HD to your internet and be able to look at the cameras remotely on another computer or your phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thought about that, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much. It's borderline novelty. I will explore that option though. For what it's worth, my wife works from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You can get a 4 camera dvr with 500gb hd for $200 if you know where to look. Put one in my mother in law's restaurant a few years ago, still running fine 24-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mango_sv Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 But if your wanting trail cams, there is a whole world of them out there. I have one running in my yard on a solar charger taking pics of my driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowdog Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Game camera's take great pictures day and night and you will be able to see the perpetrator clearly...I don't remember the ones off the top of my head but a few game cams came out last year that will actually send a picture instantly to you're phone...you can also text the camera and it will take a series of pictures and or video if you want.

Don't firget to make sure the trail camera you choose has a lockbox available for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_sv Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Not bad day photos with some quick motion. They have got better. This cam is a few years old. I like that Moultrie cams have a 12v port. So a car/lawn mower/bike battery will run it forever. Or get the solar charger I have and it will last for life. And not bad night photos.
