A Battery Powered Outdoor Security Camera and Why
Advantages and disses
We already had a camera that points at our front porch, but because it needs to plug in, it peeks out through a window at a sharp angle and doesn’t get a good view. It’s good enough to alert us of someone coming to the porch, yet it annoys us because it also reports on every passing vehicle.
A few days ago, I found this (not an affiliate link):
Battery powered, IP65, passive infrared motion detection, spotlight, night vision, intercom and siren: it’s amazing what you can get for such short money today.
Battery powered has its advantages, though it also means it would be easier to steal without risking a nasty shock. At least I’d get an alert and be able to see them doing it, though I don’t expect I’d go dashing out to confront anyone in today’s gun happy world.
Go in peace, my light-fingered brother. Go in peace and be proud, because you help keep insurance companies, police, and security companies in business!
