Hi Guys, we are looking at getting some CCTV at our house as I am tired of people stealing my shoes, taps and other things from our front and back yard.
Any recommendations on DIY or getting a professional in to do the job?

Trip wires and tazers, so strong they'll never be able to reproduce and inflict the world with their offspring. :p
Get a home security assessment done. I believe companies like Lockwood offer this service. Even if you don't end up buying any of their products, you should get some great free advice from them.
It happens to us all eventually ;) :o He can still kick ass though, and he's 62!Quote:

Cool, that's what were thinking but with 4 cameras - get it done right first time. Do you get overloaded with texts when birds/cars set off the cameras?Quote:

This makes it better for pet owners such as myself since our dog would always trip the camera. Not entirely sure how it works but our dog wont set off the camera but my 3 year old daughter does. Ours are also linked to our sensor lights too so all the outdoor lights come on if there is a disturbance.Quote:
