Security Cameras

We use ADT at the house. Very professional company with great field techs. We have two security cameras.

we have ip bullet cameras on our network.?ÿ One covering an intersection has solved over 5 felony crimes to include robbery, drug deals, hit and run and destruction of property.?ÿ All video stored on our servers.?ÿ There are lots to choose from - suggest you get a package deal with x amount of exterior cameras and a recorder.

Budget?

I've been happier with Arlo than I thought, but for a work place I'd go for a real system and use the wired unless you're going to add power via solar chargers etc.

You might just start off with a bunch of motion detecting lights that are very bright and in all locations that light up the yard.

1. ?ÿPut up fake cameras, because, really, what good will the footage do once the crime is done.

2. ?ÿLet your crews take the trucks home.

This reminds me of a true story from over 50 years ago.?ÿ A certain area of some big city was being hit routinely by someone with a bb gun shooting automobile windows.?ÿ The finally caught the culprit.?ÿ It was the owner of a auto window repair shop near the center of the strike zone.

@holy-cow Creating work.?ÿ ?ÿWe can do the same by pulling up those un-needed survey markers!

In my area (inland southern California), catalytic converter thefts have been endemic. We lost 2 on our Honda Element which was parked on the street before we started parking it behind a gate. My Honda Fit has escaped, but probably because it's too low to the ground for easy access. The bolder thieves have hit cars and trucks in store and restaurant parking lots. (Garage is full of rockhound-related stuff)

Reolink POE along with the free phone app and pc software.

My Mustang is straight-piped, so a thief would be rather disappointed if he could get under there in the first place. Maybe the solution is to just remove them and sell them yourself. ???? ???œ?ÿ

Seriously though, I'm about to pull the trigger on a eufy system for my home. I've heard really great things about them and you don't have to purchase a cloud plan to use it. You buy the homebase and you can then store the footage there and sync it with your existing cloud (in my case, OneDrive).

We had a case of some similar thefts two miles from my house a few months back.?ÿ These guys are serious.?ÿ They have some sort of winch setup where they hook up the line just so and then flip the vehicle over for immediate access.?ÿ So the damage is far more than the loss of a catalytic converter.

@mkennedy My brother lives in LA and the problem is rampant, the thieves very fast and efficient. In and out in 90 seconds. He's caught them on video in front of his house several times but it's nearly always dark and the video pretty useless to catch them. Some people install shields over the catalytic converter to slow them down but the only real solution is to not park on the street where they can pull up to the vehicle and a guy roll out and underneath the target. They get a hundred bucks for a converter that cost 3k to replace.?ÿ

Or you could just change up your ride to one these.?ÿ

Maybe they can team up with the douchebag delete diesel cat converters and slow the theft down and give the Diesel coal rollers the alleged airflow they claim they need. Win win...sorta....

Ubiquiti is a pretty solid choice. Good cameras, and the networking gear to tie it all together. You can either use their recording/security software or use the camera feeds with whatever other software you want.

In the case of cat-con theft, one should adopt the philosophy that one's security system is a deterrent, rather than a means of catching perps, vis a vis getting your cat-con stolen is going to cost you for replacement/repair and your chance of catching the perp and getting compensation from said perp, is probably zero.?ÿ
