Security cameras for the home - is there any point?

Hi there,

I’m really sorry that happened to you, i know exactly how you feel in terms of feeling vulnerable at home. Something similar happened to me around 5 years ago. Even the money being stolen wasn’t such a big deal, the fact that they stole our family jewellery that we had for generations was honestly such a punch in the gut. Also our laptops in which we had all our precious photos and memories was also gone. Like it is something we just can’t get back no matter how hard we try.

Money was tight, so we were looking for some budget friendly options. That’s when we came across Touch homes. http://Www.touchhomes.com.au We found them very budget friendly and easy to deal with as they are locally based in Canberra.

Also one thing I learned from my house robbery is to backup all your photos and precious documents. Its these things that you can never get back.

Good luck!

Don’t upload them on facebook, and remove the EXIF data

Get several large friends and some balaclavas. Work out when they are likely to cause trouble, and wait quietly around the side of the house. When the little shits get onto your property, run silently up to them and bash the shit out of them, so they can’t walk. Have someone inside the house call the police and tell them “there are kids fighting in my backyard right now and I’m really scared”. When the cops arrive, deny ever seeing anyone in balaclavas, and tell the police that the kids were bashed because they were mouthing off at a bunch of medium build youths with dark complexions wearing hoodies who happened to be walking down the street, and then ran into your backyard.

Post photos on the Internet.

actually, buy a huge electric fence, have it inset 1m from the existing fence. It seems you can buy energizers for just over $100.

my vote is for some angry dogs.

WOW…..After THAT, I see you have the perfect name!

And being a paragon of information yourself, you’ve gone off to research the internet and prove me wrong in every case?

Yep. I don’t expect to hear back anything factual to back your worthless opinion up.

I wouldn’t know where to start!
I only have 20 years experience installing CCTV, I don’t base my opinions on what I see on ACA.

No, that just means that you can’t base your opinioins. If you can’t base your opinions on relevent regulations, then your opinions are worthless.
If you actually did know anything then by definition, you’d know exactly where to start.

So by your refusal to engage and back up your opinion, the only explanation which is logical is that you can’t.
The regulations relating to public photography across the states in Australian and an informed opinion on them is available on the Internet if you can be bothered looking.

Don’t confuse experience in installation of installation with having a clue about THE LAW unless you can actually point to legislation defining how things are or examples tested in court.

I will take anything less a complete list of applicable legislation as admitting that you have absolutely no idea.

Or maybe you won’t know, rather then know where to start?

Or you could not turn your house into big brother, take spoonful of concrete and stop being such a miserable old coot.

I’ve never understood old people’s hate for parties, I can fall asleep under the main speakers without a problem, and yet some ancient bat three suburbs away files a noise complaint because her hearing aid is turned up too high.

Seriously, old folks, run the whole western world into debt, spend all the inheritance, then not even let us get drunk or watch tits on TV. what a bunch or miserable wrinklies.

yeah, put in cameras to stop kids having fun, how about some land mines in the street and manacles for all children during your precious sleeping hours. I bet you mow your yard at 8 on a Sunday don’t you?

What Disinformation posted seems ok to me apart from the Youtube bit, and when I asked the police about cameras a few years ago their advice was that if I had one on my letterbox and happened to capture the image of someone interfering with it, it’s not illegal and could be used by them. Certainly the advice to have each camera covered by at least one other sounds good – if it was affordable, then why not?
