Hello All
I need some advice with regards CCTV.I need a system that will be
looking over a car park outside my house.It will be connected to a
video,recording through the night,so if anything happens I can view it
after on a TV.But the camera will be looking through a window on to the
car park,this is to stop people vandalizing the camera.So it needs to
have good to average night vision.It also needs to be wireless as it
may be used elsewhere for other viewing concerns.Audio is not required
just visuals.I have been looking at the Tranwo 3010 Indoor B&W
Day/Night Vision Wireless CCTV Camera & Receiver from
http://www.iviewcameras.co.uk/,but I am not sure how good the picture
quality would be,going by the price I presume you get what you pay
for.Price wise I am looking at spending up to £100.00 on a system if
one exists with the requirements I have mentioned.I emailed
iviewcameras and asked them their advice to this question but they
never replied.They do seem to have the best selection of CCTV
cameras/systems that I have found.

Any and all help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help

Almost certainly not. It uses inbuilt IR LEDs to provide illumination
at night. The range that these will be effective for will only be a
few feet. Plus, having the camera behind a window means you will:
a.) lose some IR transmission through the glass, thus limiting their
range even more
b.) get a _lot_ of reflection off the glass itself which I expect
would render any image useless.

On another note (I haven't read any of the other posts and don't
intend to get into a discussion on the topic) I doubt that a
camera with such a wide field of view would be much use at identifying
any vandals. It certainly wouldn't provide "evidence" quality
data, if that is your intent.

To avoid possible wireless Lan/microwave oven conflicts, you could consider
one of the Homeplug cameras that transfer their info to your computer via
the mains wiring. Pictures are jpegs and readily stored on a pc. I'm sure
there is software available to give the equivalent of VCR functionality.
Google will find suppliers such as Solwise for the cameras
I've not used a camera on Homeplug but do use Ethernet over Homeplug which
works very well.

Modern wireless is pretty good, and modern ovens less crap than they
occasionally used to be. I was worried about this, but my 802.11a/g WIFI
and DECT phone work quite happily with the microwave on. The DECT base
station is 6" away from the oven too.

This fact not fiction, but...
Some time ago a resident was find £2000, an offender who had committed an
knife assult on a person, police gained footage of the assult by the said
residents CCTV camera footage as it was verging over the residents property
boundry(public footpath...result was the offender was found guilty and his
lawyer then filed a lawsuit against the resident for illegal use of the
CCTV.

So do be warned.

Key part is 'some time ago'. I think it was February 2004 that new
guidance came from the ICO. Essentially: if there are no more than two
cameras, they are not remotely steerable, the output is just taped, and
it's only used for police assistance, then it's fine.

Have a look at the laws relating to CCTV on the information
commissioners web site

www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk

it is an offense to use a camera in public places without cause etc. we
were warned at work as one of our roaming cameras look at our second
building (across a public rd) by the installation company. Having said
all that if anything happens on the estate the police borrow to the tape
to see who came on and off it via the road so they tend to be understanding.

Read what I said. I said 'new guidance'. It's a separate note. Also read
again...I said that it's OK if the cameras aren't steerable; you were
warned about a steerable camera.

I'm perfectly aware of the ICO website; that's why I mentioned the ICO!

Listen the article was on the BBC News site late 2004 the guys camera was
bordering onto a public footpath now either the police went about obtaining
the footage the wrong way or the guy did not display surveilance signs.

You either believe it or not, either way I ain't bothered.

I remember a story where the defence barister got the person, who had
had his surveilance tapes seized by the police and used in a
prosecution, prosecuted and fined but I cant find the story. I think
the advise has changed since then.

As a previous poster said, interference is a problem with wireless
cameras. Microwave ovens can also knock out the signal. If the camera is
mounted high enough, vandalism should not be a problem. However, very
few cheap cameras work well under night time conditions and you may well
have problems with reflections if trying to operate through a window. If
the problem is only over a few hours, then a standard video camera would
be a better solution, this will have better optics than a low cost
camera. It can easily be coupled to a standard VCR. Can you borrow one?

Increase your budget tenfold and you might get a system that is worth
having.

Unless he is watching it live, constantly, there is little point in having a
low quality CCTV. The recordings will not be of evidence quality, so the
Police won't be interested in them.

I used a standard home video camera connected to a domestic recorder set to
run in long play. That gave me 8 hours of good quality tape and enabled the
police to nick the old b*****r that was vandalising my car on a public
highway. The tapes went through the police and several solicitors and at no
time did anyone say I shouldn't have been filming.

To round the story off, the old boy ( 70+ yrs old! ) was arrested and
marched off to the nick. CPS decided that there was insufficient evidence to
prosecute ( !! ) despite the fact that you could hear the key on the metal
for several seconds and see the bloke - who admitted it was he - but he
denied scratching the car and the video did not actually pick up his hand
against the bodywork.

The insurance co started proceedings against him and after 2 years of
letters the old boy stopped replying. At that point the NU dropped the case.
I could sue him privately to get my £120 excess back but to be honest it
isn't worth the hassle. I don't think he'll do it again.

So, not really a result then

Home video equipment can be near broadcast quality, which is far better than
cheap CCTV.

That is the important bit. You have to capture irrefutable evidence of the
crime happening for the evidence to be any good in Court. Even in the recent
well-publicised case where a thief was caught on a web cam stealing the
computer it was connected to, he was convicted on the basis of his
confession when confronted with the recording, not on the evidence of the
recording.
