Does anybody know of a good home video surveillance system?

I have a neighbor who has been periodically vandalizing our property
over the past 3 years. I want to set up a hidden camera system to
record him. The police said they can't do anything unless I catch him
on camera.

He causes a couple hundred $ of damage every year and I afraid for the
safety of my family.

My budget is about $300 but may be willing to go higher. I have a good
working pc I can use for a system.

Any suggestions/ideas helpful.

Thanks,

Why the phuc has this gone on 3 years? You could have shot him and
been out of jail by now!
Do you know how low quality surveillance film is? You're lucky you can
tell
if it's a man or a woman. Most of the ones you see on TV are horrible,
and
those are from stores that have cash to spend on good machines. Most of
the
people are identified from clothing and other clues that people who know
the
suspects recognize.

Look at the laws of your state. You might have the answer to your
problems
in your gun closet. And if you DO catch this creep, you're only gonna
****
him off by putting him in jail for a month or until he gets released on
his
own recognizance and comes back with a worse attitude. Catch the guy on
your property and give him an attitude adjustment. Or find some Bubba
who'll do it for fifty bucks.

(g) When did I care about ****ing a creep off?

I have my own take down method.

He won't need OR, or a court. My justice ; just might be immediate.

I do my own adjustments - deadly or not. I keep the castle.


And if it's on castle property, there's NO instant replay. No refunds. No
rain checks. Over. Finito. Done with. End of case. Period. At least in
the two states I live in.

I love people who are stupid enough to enter into such situations. Sounds
like this guy is a contender. The state is the question. In Texas, he'd be
dead as a cabbage head jellyfish at high tide. (Putting it in terms even
Texans can understand.) In California, the homeowner would probably get the
death penalty. Just depends.

Knowing the law and your rights WHERE YOU LIVE can be a very good thing.
Defending yourself and your property are actions that have long range
repercussions and are not to be taken lightly. But knowing what you can and
can NOT do is imperative.

And if you live in a state where criminal rights are more important than
homeowner law abiding voter citizen rights are, then a move may be in your
future. Depends on you. What are you willing to live with?

Steve


On what do you base that slam on California. I served in fire and
rescue in California for ten years. I attended two self defense
shootings during that period and I didn't even get deposed let alone
have to testify. Both cretins were shot while on the premises of a
domicile during the hours of darkness. The ghost story that you always
here about you have to drag them back inside is nonsense in most western
states.
