I have installed wireless
IP cameras at my house in the mountains with
Blue Iris
software to allow 24/7 monitoring of the premises. This system has
built-in motion sensors and night vision. When the motion sensor is
tripped, two pictures are sent to my email account. A short video is
also made and recorded. Without going into details, this house is in a
very remote location with few people in the immediate vicinity. However,
anyone doing surveillance within the radius of one mile would be
noticed and reported.
The cameras are inconspicuous but effective as shown here. The
individual in the first picture had already walked up the stairs to my
second story, knocked on the front door and received no reply. He then
went to the side of the house and checked the interior of the home as
seen in the second picture.
Based on the time stamps, this individual went back to his vehicle
and came back ten minutes later with what appears to be a computer and
radio antenna.
Wal-Mart here has a bewildering array of home electronic security equipment. But I need a school on how to do it.
ReplyDeleteI would also.
DeleteCheck the links in the article. Foscams and Blue Iris are a great solution as seen above.
ReplyDeleteHow much does all that run, David?
DeleteEach Foscam internal camera is $54. A router is $60-80 if you need one. Blue Iris software is $50.
ReplyDeleteI guess I will be installing systems for people in the future.
Thanks. Do you know how much you would charge say for 4 cameras plus? Looking at the top picture again, he reminds me of Michael.......:)
DeleteDon't forget remote audio surveillance. Do a search on "laser microphone" or "laser audio surveillance". Paste isn't working for me this afternoon or I would have posted a link. Even meatspace in your own home isn't safe.

Thanks.
DeleteI use Asante (indoor) and Vivotek (outdoor) cameras - these multi-megapixel cameras are easily available online and at a reasonable cost. My software is Security Monitor Pro, an excellent video surveillance software and I love it. It has time based recording and motion detection alerting, and remote viewing, along with many other features that are useful. Easy to use and reliable. Also supports webcams and all Foscam IP cameras.
