Okay, let's say that you have the hardware - cameras, recording
hardware, etc.; and the software.
What useful information can you glean from the pictures?
I was experimenting with cameras being sold at Costco, and one of the
lenses had a wide enough field of view so that you could catch the
action over a width that was reasonable, given the setback of my
house, but the detail was lost so that it was difficult to recognize a
face, and certainly not a license number. The other camera had a
narrower field of view, but a car would drive through very rapidly.
AND Where could I set up the camera so that it would be close enough
to the street to see the back end of a car? No poles in my
neighborhood. If I put up my own, with a camera disguised as a bird
house, how long before it would be vandalized, or indeed recognized
for what it was?

OK, looking into the world of "1984 and Big Brother."
Vandalism in a residential neighboorhood has me looking into possibly
putting up an array of video cameras that can watch the streets to
get a handle on
groups of people cruising the street and ripping mirrors from cars and
trashing mailboxes. I am looking to cover a street between 1/4 and
1/2 mile long.
Anyone have info regarding :
How a group of
homeowners
might do this?
What would we need
to set up
in our homes to get the video?
How can we access
and record
the video?
What kind of money
are we
talking about?
