We have a burglary nearly everyday in my area. Just wondering what security people put on their houses etc.

Motion activated cameras that I could view remotely is what I would probably go for if I was worried about burglars,you could get a half decent set up for a couple of hundred quid

alarms are not in general responded to by the police, motion activated cameras that use a mix of wifi and 3g/4g would be my choice. that way if you get an alert you can ring 999 saying the crime is in progress, they are then likely to respond and hopefully catch them.

Same here...she’s only just turned one though. She’s a soft as anything but the moment any one enters the gate, she has none of it

Where in Mancunia do you live?
I haven't locked the back door of my house for the last 15 years now.

Is it as bad as it’s made out by the media? I put PV on a fire station in Manchester a few years back....IIRC it was in china town, only time I’ve been. I come out to the van in the morning in the premier inn carpark with the side door wide open and I had been relieved of all of my tools

Don't know what they say about it in Manc these days, but my experience ...
30 years in my house now and we'd get done over each year, guaranteed, the first 5 years, nothing since. Had the car done once.

But what is there to steal? Everyones got a flat screen TV, crappy computer etc etc etc. It's all worthless junk! I've got valuables, but your average fookfit wouldn't recognise them if I shoved them in his balls

You need a camera inside the property to record them entering the as proof, the only issue is that they will break in balaclava-red up.

The Police know who the known crime are but to be honest can't be bothered to chase them, I would also go the smart water route.

Having neigbours with dogs seems to help.
(Though I'm suprised fewer of my neighbours have them these days !)

....... I come out to the van in the morning in the XXXXXXHOTEL carpark with the side door wide open ........

Yep this seems to be quite common up and down the country -any hotel brand.
The little darlings know the camera blind spots !
Does seem a bit organised !

Thanks.

Years ago my friend had something that beeped every time a PIR was set off. I’m thinking about this as a lot of burglaries are around 7pm.

GJD Emerald 3000 Mk1-3 has a PIR system that beeps when PIR is activated and you could use that for remote recording maybe as well as 3Kwatts of resistive lighting!
