JackDaWack 2,895 Posted April 15, 2012 when i was shoping for my gunsafe, i made sure to get one that had ports built in to put my surveilance camera's HDD in it. I was planning ahead The system only works if it's still there after they're gone. Other wise it's just a waste of money. Does it have an external drive? or do you run the entire system into your safe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
this_is_nascar 162 Posted April 15, 2012 They got the guy. Sad part is its exactly who I thought it was. Guy was over that house a bunch of times. Lives like 4 houses away is a heroin addict now. Again, how did he gain access? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intercooler 41 Posted April 15, 2012 The system only works if it's still there after they're gone. Other wise it's just a waste of money. Does it have an external drive? or do you run the entire system into your safe? it is a dvr based setup. i am gonna put the dvr in the safe. The safe has bulkhead ports for ethernet, cameras will run into it. i will be able to view the cameras from my i phone, it will text or email me when there is any motion in my exclusion zones.I am basically duplicating the sytem my buddy uses in his repair shop car dealer. It works well. My house is SMALL, so i don't need super duper cameras, and with 8, i will have every side, shed and avenue covered in spades Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old School 611 Posted April 15, 2012 Now I'm hearing he was arrested but for other stuff. I'd bet he has something to do with this robbery though. Chairman Mao (not that I have any affection for him) had a sure fire way to cure addiction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XDJohnTact 49 Posted April 15, 2012 Ive been looking at them too...Also for my business. Any tips or help? Lots of systems out there...whats good? bad? I got a swan system from Costco and it is easy to install and get working. Has 500GB HD so it can record 24-7 and holds about a month of HD video before it records over itself. If you set it to a lower resolution, it goes about 120 days. I can even watch the cameras from my Android (and see if they are working). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimmemym1 34 Posted April 16, 2012 Here's a story for ya, my little sister works at a little local deli (Red Barn Deli) in Deerfield on Rt 77 for those familiar with south jersey. At 4:30 this afternoon she was robbed at gunpoint by a man and a woman both wearing hoodies. They came in, went to the register held a gun to her head and took the money from the register. Store has no surveillance cameras. She's alright, just shaken and scared. And last week my wifes aunts house was broken into, thief kicked in back french door. Person stole jewelry and tvs. This happened between 2 pm and 4:30 pm. This used to be a quiet area. Now I'm looking to get a house alarm and surveillance cameras.

Springfield1911 22 Posted April 16, 2012 Again, how did he gain access? Does it really matter how the guy gained access??? Do you think a locked door has stopped a burglar before?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
this_is_nascar 162 Posted April 16, 2012 Does it really matter how the guy gained access??? Do you think a locked door has stopped a burglar before?? Yes, it did matter to me. I was waiting to hear that the perp entered through an unlocked door, as does happen so many times. I'm glad that was not the case here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stag 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Glad to hear they caught the dude. This kind of thing is only going to get worse as the economy continues to crumble. Regarding video surveillance systems... do they generally include motion detection or is that a higher-end model feature? I dunno, something that will trip an alarm or somehow alert the homeowner to outside movement during certain times? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can get motion detection, IR, remote monitoring and alerting, 2 way audio, etc for relatively cheap. http://foscam.us/products/foscam-fi8918w-wireless-ip-camera-11.html?gclid=CLij7daZ-qkCFaZd5Qod3FxsYQ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bry@n 195 Posted April 16, 2012 I agree Ray. People will still get robbed but the inexperienced thieves will look for a house tthat has an open window or door. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reduck 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Ive been looking at them too...Also for my business. Any tips or help? Lots of systems out there...whats good? bad? I have the Logitech units-both outdoor and indoor cameras. They have expandable on board storage and they are accessible from my phones and desktops. It sends an email or text alert with still photo whenever it senses motion (predetermined thresholds). So far they've been pretty damn good. Wish I had it before we were robbed this past summer, but the PD caught them anyhow. ...and those of you that think your dogs will protect your home...we have two and the perps just opened the door and let them run off. Lucky for us a neighbor spotted them (dogs) and put them back in our yard...the 4 perps still have yet to see their day in court. Lots of charges including a stolen handgun (not mine) from one of the houses they hit. They broke a patio door down to get in....then simply walked away..

Dan 177 Posted April 16, 2012 If you need wireless, make sure you get secured. Best bet is off the shelf wifi-WPA2 encryption enabled cameras, used with something like a Synology NAS device with the Surveillance Station add-on to provide remote viewing and DVR capabilities.

this_is_nascar 162 Posted April 16, 2012 Why did they need a warrant to search the vehicle? Once they found drugs/needles on him, didn't that give them carte blache to search the vehicle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted April 16, 2012 Why did they need a warrant to search the vehicle? Once they found drugs/needles on him, didn't that give them carte blache to search the vehicle? No depending on where the weapons were. They probably found the needle after getting him out which removes their exigent circumstances. If one is not in a rush it is bet to wait for a warrant. This state gives perps too many rights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
this_is_nascar 162 Posted April 16, 2012 OK, thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted April 16, 2012 But seeing the gun in plain view would be an exception. Like I said you know you have the guns on the seat. If you go in a find anything else without a warrant it cold get suppressed. Easier to get a warrant for the whole car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

this_is_nascar 162 Posted April 16, 2012 Still no reason to be stolen, but I'm assuming the guns were not locked in a safe? Yes, safes can be broken into, however the OP makes it sound like this was a quick in-and-out burglary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
