I should have done this sooner. Wanted to years ago and never did and now I've got problems. I need to catch a neighbor who is getting more and more aggressive with other neighbors. They jumped him once at his place and have now started launching large fireworks at/into his home. It's only a matter of time before I'm next. The local PD won't stop them until their case is served to them on a silver platter.
My font door to victims front door is ~150. Edge of my garage to the far side of his garage is ~200. He is across the street and one house over. The offenders are also across the street and 4 houses down from him ~250' from my front door. I've got an old gaming system running torrents and Plex that could probably run blue iris but IDK if I'm down for learning that yet. I know you guys say start slowly and build up so I figured just 2/3 cams for now. I figured two on the driveway mounted via the soffit which is 8' high (I know eye level is best but I'd rather not mount into the brickwork). We don't park in the driveway at all. We pull our cars into the garage but I do have a beater pickup on the street to the left of the drive. I'd like to be able to identify these jerks if they mess with his house again. Maybe another one in the soffit above the front door aimed nice and tight on the front of his house? In a perfect world I'd have one on the offenders house as well but I don't think that will work well. I am not concerned with the back of the house as I am not the target yet. Eventually I'd like one in my garage and one on each back door. I don't have any fences/gates or natural choke points other than in-between my house and the two neighbors.
In all honesty these guys are really dumb and it shouldn't be that hard to catch them. I witnessed the last firework episode and watched two shadows run into their house. Still not enough for the PD to do anything.
Attached are some pics of their houses in relation to mine and my home. The wide angle is from my driveway. You can see the offenders on the far left with the American Flag hanging. They primarily use that side door to the driveway. Their favorite target is on the far right, the red brick ranch. I took some closer shots of each house separately. The red truck is always there if he's there and usually he has a personal truck parked next to it. That makes it really hard to see anything happening between the trucks and his garage but he's got a shitty wifi cam 90degrees to his garage door. The rest are of my place.![IMG_7641.JPG](/data/attachments/199/199856-602ed9d2bb1003f5834c2d2be564e0ef.jpg)
