I wanted to do this last summer, when we had a drug dealer doing deals right outside my kitchen window. Luckily he is gone now. But I would still like to place security camera around my apartment to record any other illegal acts, such as vandalism. My main concern is invading the privacy of someone that is not doing anything wrong. My landlord already has the main entrances to our building covered, but I would like to watch out for the common areas, such as wehre the drug deals took place.
I live in Upstate NY.

The best suggestion is to contact the local police. Reason being, they are the ones who would end up getting the video.
One major thing you do need to consider is the quality of the recorded images. Camera's are not like the human eye, they do have weaknesses, particularly the discount spy store or hardware store variety. I have a video surveillance section on my website at http://www.keepsafesystems.ca Feel free to check it out as it does have quite abit of techincal info on how camera's and recorders work. After all, if the images are crap and the crackhead gets away, you just wasted your money on camera's.

Back to the legality issue. Human rights groups are constantly bickering about public video surveillance. In fact, a town around here wanted to have camera's installed in high crime area's and was refused. However, traffic camera's are allowed and are everywhere... difference being the recording. If you have a sign which states "your images are being recorded and will be used in criminal prosecution." Of course, like I said, talk to your local police or look for privacy commissioner in your area. Another thought would be, there should be nothing stopping you from having a camera recording activity in your appartment... maybe looking at a window. nudge nudge wink wink

What electrical wire to use for 12V outdoor security cameras?




BGAndrea


Hello,
I am going to be installing security cameras at my business. The video is sent wirelessly to the receiver, but each camera needs to be wired for power. All it says on the website is 12V power. What wire do I run for this? Here is a link to the exact system if that helps: http://sylvaniastore.lorextechnology.com/product.aspx?id=2138#

Also, what end tips, transfomers, etc do I need in order to plug it into an outlet or hard wire?

Thanks!



Answer
The transformer comes with the DVR and cameras. There will be some cable with it to power the DVR. The cameras are wireless so you don't need to worry about wiring them. Should be a simple setup and nice system.
