BRING IT INSIDE
Because of recent robberies and home invasions in our area I decided to put up some surveillance cameras. The cameras have audio and night vision. I like the audio best because I can hear if I'm not watching and someone pulls in my drive. I can also keep close tabs on the wasps as you will see:) The activity is recorded on a SD 4G in the monitor and so even if the cameras are disabled, the image will be recorded.
The feedback at first sounded like the beginning of gruesome action on a horror movie.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff there. I need info.
Cliff -- Bought at WalMart. Uniden is the maker. Two cameras and the monitor plus the SD and extra cables for hooking to your laptop plus instructions for adding to your Smartphone which I don't have. $199. It is equipped to handle four cameras and now I'm going back to get those other two for the back of the property. The system is wireless but the cameras do need to be plugged in to elec. outlets. Cord provided is pretty long. If I see them coming I will have time to lock and load:)

ReplyDeletethats terrific Annie..
I'm going to see about getting this also.. very cheap price or the security it provides..
love ya
Sonny -- That is what I thought. I hope the system will last. It is supposed to be weather proof though it does suggest the cameras go under eaves or other protected area.
ReplyDeleteLove you too:)
That's so neat that you have that added security. The wasp thing startled me!

ReplyDeleteDear Annie Oakley,
You must be one heck of a shot if you can lock,load and shoot one of those wasps!!!!!!!
That is smart. I should look into a system like that myself.
ReplyDeleteLynn -- There is a better catch on the wasp but it's right at the beginning of the clip and if you blink you miss it. It looks like Godzilla Wasp.
ReplyDeleteNancy -- I loved you comment of my Facebook about locust being next. Hope it's locust and not me shooting myself in the foot. Yep, Annie Oakley...that's me.
Olga -- It has just been up a day but it is giving me peace some of mind. My dog Slim is still my first line of defense.
That's very good sound and picture...sorry to hear about the rash of break ins though. I'm the worst with security...I need to get better.
ReplyDeleteBrown English Muffin -- I never felt the need when Ron was next to me. Now I'm not all that afraid but just need some better sense of security. Plus Slim is a good watchdog but I would hate for her to get hurt protecting me.
ReplyDeleteA dog AND a camera. You should sleep very well these days. that wasp was a little intimidating so close!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. If I lived where you do, I'd have them too. The wasps were scary! lol
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! Thank you for sharing.I live alone and I think I need those as well. I never thought it would be that inexpensive. I have 3 dogs so they alert me to any action around the outside of the house plus I have chain link fence all the way around my house and I keep locks on the gates. Anybody coming to see me either has a gate key or knows to call me first. LOL! My dogs are funny though. One is afraid of the dark so she won't go outside after dark unless the motion detecter porch light comes on first. The second dog will go out in the dark, but the 3rd dog just moans and groans if a noise happens after his bedtime, unless he deems it is something serious. He lets me know his shift is over!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of little cams but lost the software when wiping the hard-drive n switching systems years ago.
ReplyDeleteMy improvised weapons will have to do. (bat, crowbar, razor-knife)
Make sure you post a "under camera surveilence" sign to slow them down more!
Tabor – If only the wasps could bark and sound a warning:)
ReplyDeletekenju – We have so many wasps that I am starting to believe they live in my walls much like the bees you found living in you walls a few years ago.
Aunt Betsy – A family down the road from us took down their fence and I'm not sure why. Anyway, they were robbed last week of all their four-wheelers and most of their tools. One of my best crime deterrents are two big lights in my yard paid for by the electric company. I have no idea why I got them but they sure put any intruders in the spotlight.
Snaggle Tooth – I am afraid to post sign warning about the cameras because I fear that would only tempt them to steal the cameras too. However if they did, I would have a clear picture of them doing so. lol
The wasps are awesome, but kinda camera shy. They were like "Yikes! It's a camera, I'm outta here!"
ReplyDeleteI can't see the pictures alas.
ReplyDeleteThis is just what we need in our house in AZ. More to prove that gardeners etc. actually do come work when we aren't around. I assume it only works if you are there though?
ReplyDeleteKerry
ReplyDeleteExactly! They still are attracted to the camera and quickly zoom away. It's funny.

Alas! Often video is difficult to open.

No it works when I am away. It is fun to come home and see who stopped by while I was gone.
