Hello everyone!
I am a little bit new to video surveillance technology, so I could really use some help setting up some security for my home.
I have had a prowler/stalker coming onto my property at night, sabotaging things and trying to scare me. I know who this is but I need more proof to obtain a restraining order. I set up some cameras with a Zmodo DVR. The prowler somehow discovered the cameras and came and cut the wires, several times. I think he may have likely seen the infrared lights glowing. When I checked the footage, he was not on it. I could not configure the Zmodo to not catch every bug, twig moving, etc. so that was part of the problem. I think the hard drive has quit working now, so I am considering a new system.
What I would like to do:
1. I want to obtain some low light cameras that work under ambient light without infrared. These would be hidden. I leave the porch light on all night so there is some low ambient light.
2. Then I want to set up some "bait" cameras with the glowing red lights. When he comes to cut the camera wires again, the hidden cameras will capture him cutting the bait cameras.
3. I would like to also have the cameras monitored by a company such as GeoArm, that would video verify the intruder and call the police.
Hello, restraining order!
Can you recommend some cameras/systems that could do this? Also, please recommend any alarm companies that are not too pricey that would monitor the cameras in the Atlanta, GA area.
