sarahjng Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Ok I need some advice, over the past week I have had an apricot, an Apple and an egg thrown at my open back door ( just thankful the egg missed) I have an idea it's one of my neighbours kids but as I haven't actually seen anyone, I can't make accusations so I'm looking to get a cheap one camera cctv, something that will record constantly, so if necessary I can go to the police. ( the Apple missed my head and my flat screen tv by inches, ) Can anyone recommend something, don't want to walk into a shop and spend a fortune for something I will probably only need for a couple of weeks or months.

Andy Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Call the police. They can send round a couple of bycicle cops to have a chat and ride around and monitor the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahjng Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Call the police. They can send round a couple of bycicle cops to have a chat and ride around and monitor the area. Spoke to our local beat copper, his advice was to get the cctv as they can't do anything unless we know who the culprit is, as for monitoring the area, don't think that's going to happen, seriously overstretched and understaffed round here, due to "restructuring" My son works for Maplin, I'll ask him Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2 Thank you ! Will ring them tomorrow and let you know x Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Not proud, will take advice from anywhere lol The only one I have used is this http://www.maplin.co.uk/500gb-4-channel-securix-h.264-network-dvr--4x-ccd-cameras-and-iphone-app-477048 It can be set up for motion detection or continuous recording and I have an app on my android phone so I can check in on the system when away Will take a look, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asslinn Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Just remember when you put the CCTV cameras up you also have to have a sign to tell people it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
