How to knock £50k off the value of your house without trying...

Well I suppose if you are putting your house up for sale you could always remove them.

Also be aware of potential requirements under privacy/data protection if you are filming public areas, i.e. roads and pavements.

That's only a concern if you put them through the business. A company would be required to register under the DPA, put signs up, and all that palaver; but a private individual, putting cameras on their own property, isn't subject to those requirements.

Obviously you're likely to get into trouble if you point one through your neighbour's bedroom window, but other than obvious stuff like that, it doesn't matter if you capture images of the street or a bit of next door's garden - there's nothing in the law to prevent you doing so.

...and some arsehole who insists on letting their dog tulip in our front garden...

Are you sure it's a dog?

I have 4 Lilin POE+ cameras.

What CloudWalker said, we videoed some scrots nicking the spare tyre of a neighbours van in the dark with the IR lamps on but even HD at night isn't good enough for a conviction.

The first thing you should know about security cameras is they don't stop crime , They only record the crime.
And most of the images are poor grainy video which is useless if it ever went to court.

I installed a fake security camera, came home, and some fecker had nicked it.

Seems to be there are lots of options, pros and cons for each.

Headed over to Maplins and I thought I would use a wifi motion detector webcam and pop it inside. But then the one I looked at had to use a subscription cloud service, which was a pain

With that in mind, can anyone recommend a decent wireless web cam?

.

Maplin = expensive, like 2 x price

Inflatable hot tub and then outside webcam.

This is true. My CCTV caught a gimp smashing car windscreens a few weeks ago. After the police couldn't make YouTube work and I emailed them the video they called (after two weeks and me chasing) and confirmed the Commissioner has prioritised historical sex crimes over vandalism and criminal damage.

If he was roaming the streets dressed as a gimp then there's a strong possibility they could have killed 2 birds with one stone.

The down side is whenever evidence is collected, the police are not interested, they are too busy sending three patrol cars to Tesco for someone steeling a can of beer.

I can recommend Hikvision cameras, resolution is 1080p and they work well in low light. IP Camera so you just need a POE switch and plug it into your existing home server (it's on 24/7 right?) their software (PC-NVR) is free and can e.g. just record when it detects motion, send you an email, even switch security lights on etc.

I paid about 300 for two about a year ago when we were having issues with a neighbour.

Think mine are these from here
