Title: Security??
Post by: LittleJohn on March 04, 2010, 04:16:40 PM: Any one of you use the trail cams for around the house?I am going on vacation later this year and thought I would put out a cam or two around the house and see if any neighbors come around :) :)

Folks are not as respectful of other peoples stuff anymore >:(. Our cabin was up for 15 years prior to the burn and was broke into one time. I hope we have that kind of success again :brew:

It seems that alot of the pics of people I have seen, taken by infrared from a distance are not quality enough for law enforcement purposes...

You gotta have power for most security systems, most trail cams can run a few months on batteries if it is not too cold. Heck, if we put power to the cabin someone would just move in rather then rob the place :chuckle:.
