I want to set up some covert cameras in my house for when I go away for the weekend. I know it wont stop thieves but at least I will be able to identify them.
Getting a picture won't catch them. What will you do with it? Most burglars are amateurs who may not have a police record, and the police are too busy to start searching through photo files for a domestic burglar.
He may not be sent to prison anyway.
The best plan is to have overt cameras to deter, but hide the recorder in case they come in looking for it. That's what I do.
Fit them out of reach too, you dont want them putting a sock over them etc.
Get good quality cameras. That IMO is the best thing you can do, scrimp on cheap cameras and no mater what you put behind it you cannot improve the image.
Read through the threads on this forum for recommendation on what kit.
How right you are. Where we lived a few years ago we came home one evening and my wife noticed that the sensor was pointing towards the sky. I sat up until daylight but Father Christmas did not call.
The covert camera will warn me when it activates. I will go out to see what is happening with a shotgun. The person will attempt to assault me and the shotgun will go off. What a pity, another scumbag out of the way.
