Thread: More stuff disappeared... Anyone use a webcam for security?

Tweet

I have the trail cam up but it has a 30 sec reset between pics. :(

no security here.

And had my Jigsaw puppet stolen last night. ...Trying to conjure up what I am going to do about it for the next 9- 10 days.


chaserbug- sorry stuff is disappearing for you, too.

Aww jigsaw that really sucks! What is wrong with people? If I didn't have so much into it I wouldn't be doing it anymore. I have had 4 items stolen now!

You still report all of these thefts to the police. Chances are that the same person(s) is/are responsible for all of them. With 4 different incidents, the local PD might start to take the matter more seriously.

I will be using this:

...but I can't tell you how well it works or does not work because this will be my first year trying it. On the good side, it's come down $100 in cost since I bought mine, and you can also use this as a nanny cam or to record inside the house if you go on vacation; it's small enough to hide and record any robberies.

But the best way to prevent theft or vandalism is, unfortunately, not to put out your "good stuff" until the day of

It might be more than you are looking for but the best sort of security you can get for your house is not a monitoring system but a digital recording system with cameras that are motion activated. Basically it started recording when something is in view. Images of thieves are far more useful to the cops than just knowing when something happened.

Saw examples of this on one of those home security shows; to catch a thief I think.

oops ... same post... got distracted when I posted this on another tab... sorrry...

I've bought several more of those Doberman vibration alarms at Home Depot and put them in the skulls of the Wallys that are on ground level, so those are alarmed along with the Creature figure. I haven't heard any go off yet.

The best security is that which keeps thieves from going to far with your goods. Those Doberman alarms are great for that, especially if you can place them inside a prop. Once they start going off, they keep going off as long as the prop they are in is still moving, so even if a thief is parked down the road, that alarm is screeching the whole way to their ride, so it's more likely they'll just drop it and run.

This just disapoints me...whats wrong with people. Its one thing to be hit 1 time with a theft and think okay mabye kids pranking but 4 times!!! What was taken this time Chaser?

Then to hear Cathy lost jigsaw to a thief knowing she has been working on him since 2010 I am just saddened by society right now.

I use a 4 camera DVR system and many other items of defense but the cameras are my best defense. They see crystal clear at night so I can see license plates, faces etc but really if people had manners none of the security measures would be needed.
