+Ibbo Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Not sure how CCTV beefs up security to be honest, it's OK after the fact if they are on camera and its infocus and you can actually see them. If you stick a dummy cam up in a spot where it is seen might deter somebody otherwise make things look harder to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The “Gadget Show” did a review a few months back on CCTV cameras. Would check that out may help. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I was going to suggest a dog. Even a small one that makes a lot of noise does the job. Burglars don't want to get into a confrontation, they just want your stuff. I would also suggest checking your home insurance. Not everything you have may be covered.

+Bino-viewer Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was looking myself at this sort of stuff a few weeks ago. You can get a doorbell now with a video feed that ties into your wifi network. https://ring.com Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottletopburly Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Front camera now fitted , maybe should have gone for a 4mm lens rather than 6mm but car and gates are covered and I’m not invading anyone else’s privacy Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
