Thread: Home Security

My front gate is 500m from the house and outside the range of affordable wireless IP type cameras so I'm using a GSM trail camera. I do have power down there so have added a couple of Infra-red spots to help the camera out a bit they have 30m coverage. Here's me arriving home tonight.


I'm still experimenting with camera angles for coverage and triggering and also with filters over the lens to help with picking out the rego plates because sometimes there's quite a bit of flare from the IR or even just headlights.

This is before I put the extra IR spots in....


And this is after, one IR spot is low and aimed across the gate to pick up plates on cars that stop there and the other is up by the camera illuminating the drive to illuminate people walking up.....
