Thanks mattie
I have now purchased a Sentient recorder along with a swann bulldog cam. from Maplin.
I'm sure there are better models about. But I couldn't rely on the U.K. sun for Solar Power and the shops in my area for these products are limited. Internet info on this subject still...
A recent burglery of a neighbour frustrated me as a Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator. And found wanting info on time/ID of visits to the area by strangers.
At least the police could examine my hard disk for possible suspects
My house along with my neighbours (100 plus) use only one road. If one of the houses installed a cctv camera covering the road junction to record vehicles in and out.Would it avoid any legal restriction.
The type of camera I had in mind would be self maintaining (have its own hard drive)...
