We've got a little punk in the 'hood that likes to take stuff from back
yards and sheds , and I'm shopping for an affordable security camera
system
. A couple of weeks ago this little asshole went into my shed/shop
and took a laptop comp - my old one , not much but it was mine . Late last
week a neighbor chased him out of my yard again ...
Wired or wireless , and I have a comp with extra storage for the video .
Sound isn't necessary , I just want to capture and record video of any and
every one who enters my yard . I want quad real-time display , and a
minimum
of 30 fps (ntsc) per channel recording capability would be nice .

When I was getting broken into on a weekly basis I strung some .020"
Stainless Steel wire between some machines at ankle height and had piles of
wire trimmings in strategic locations. The intent was to "porcupine" the
intruder's face. The union screamed bloody murder and made me remove them.


Hah! I had some middle school kids grabbing my Netflix DVD's out of my
mailbox, so I put a couple of medium sized snapping mouse traps in the
box... Painted red, near the back... One kid got snapped. His mom
screamed bloody murder at me too until I explained that mail theft is
a Felony, and her little criminal was doing it... She backed off
straight away!

OBTW: I told my wonderful mail deliverer before hand so she did not
get snapped. She thought it a great idea!

Never had a problem since...
