Hi Guys,
I have purchased a Foscam IP camera (FI 9828P) ... which i intend to mount on a concrete parapet wall, 8ft off the ground, at the front of my driveway.
it will be set around 1 or 2 feet behind the gate, but clearly visible from the footpath and road.
My concern is just how much of a target the camera itself will become, does anyone have any states, anectdotally even, on that?
They'd still have to scale my wrought iron fence (or jump a side fence and run up my driveway) to get to it ... and i would have footage of them doing it (footage stored offsite) ... but we all know a tshirt around the face and a baseball cap is enough to hide identity
I do have 7 other cameras around the actual house (down a 50 metre driveway, not at all visible to anyone ... unless you had jumped my fences and come into my property) ... never been worried about them getting stolen.
Thoughts?
I intend to use strong mounting, but even so, any adult male could jump up and reef on it / damage it.
It's not a terribly bad area, but we all know there's enough crackheads in most corners of the world these days...
