Hello everyone. I'm a new guy who ended up here because I heard this is the place for security camera advice. I've searched around some, but apologies if I am breaking forum etiquette - I know those cane be particular.
I'm not at all a home security guy, but I've found myself needing a camera. Long story short, I have a neighbor with anger issues and they are being totally inappropriate over a shared backyard fence. I've tried talking to the guy, but it's gotten to the point where I'd like to start keeping a record.
The technical aspects are pretty straightforward. It's a small backyard with a single short (50'?) straight fence segment. I am trying to create a record, not monitor from a distance. I'd like to record loud vocal outbursts and what immediately preceeds them. There will generally not be motion to trigger recording. I think(?) continuous recording would be best for that. Night performance isn't critical but would be nice. I've read enough to know to avoid wireless setups. I am not at all a hobbyist (in this domain), so simple is good. I can image either running a cable and storing the recording somewhere, or just having the thing record on like a 24 hour loop and if anything happens I can download the file and store it. Will spend what it takes but if I can get out of this for a couple hundred all the better.
Hope that's enough to go on and that I'm posting in the right place. Any help is appreciated.
