After the recent unpleasantness of the attempted burglary and a week or so of feeling vulnerable, I decided that I should try to increase the security on my property. But what I should do wasn't entirely clear alarms are just ignored in many cases as they are inadvertently set off by either their users of a power fluctuation or battery failure or as is the case of one round the corner just being badly installed so that was out! So I had a chat with the people who are fitting the new garage door and they explained why these garage protector are not a wise choice. So that just left me with CCTV, but that I thought was a very expensive option I thought, that is until I had a look round and found a 2 camera system on sale for less than half price, which I bought and installed using an old CRT monitor I already had and was pleasantly surprised at how good it works, both during the day in colour and at night with infra red in monochrome, and the features it incorporates like remote viewing.
Of course whilst testing the system it crossed my mind that it could also serve another purpose, so if any of you ladies fancy the idea of being caught on cctv without being caught by the police..........

Suggest you keep a half-starved pit bull terrier in the garage :-) |
