CCTV at remote location - Trail Camera?

Recommended Posts

I need to urgently install some form of CCTV at a property in a remote location as the property is empty and has already had some unwanted (I'm being polite) vistors.

Longer term I will look to put something more comprehensive in to cover the building but need something now that will capture anyone on foot or in a vehicle coming down a lane. I'd like to capture the number plate if possible - lane is narrow so vehicle approach would be quite slow - less than 10mph

 

I was thinking of some form of widlife capture camera - I think they are generally refered to as 'Trail Cameras'.

I'm looking to spend in the order of £100 - £140.

 

Can anyone offer any advice in this area? Considerations that i need to make?

Also if anyone can recommend helpful suppliers in the uk?

 

If this is not the best forum category please let me know.

 

Many thanks

Nick

Trail cameras work pretty well. you need to get one that has an IR flash. If you buy one with a white light flash Mr. Bad guy is going to see the flash and just take it with him.

 

I would put one on each side of the road and as far apart from each other as you can so if they find one they might not look for a second.
