Outdoor surveillance camera

Hello Payday

the case mentioned is somewhat poorly presented. Can you provide some details?
I assume that the hunter shot the burglar in self-defense (§32 StGB). Of course, in Germany, one is acquitted if one shoots a criminal in self-defense.

a well-known case from a few months ago. since guns are not allowed, this doesn't help much. it also doesn't play a big role here

: you are of course right that under certain conditions a miserable amount of pictures/videos and so on can be sent and traffic causes. but if that is the case, it has to be solved differently anyway. otherwise, the system is pointless. I don’t want to get a message every 2 minutes but only when something really happens. with 1000 pictures a day the search would already be tedious if someone actually breaks in...

at our company, 3 people have the arlo system and no one has any trouble with it. all get a phone ping upon contact and hardly receive any false alarms.

Hello Payday

I think you mean the case in Sittensen 2014.

It happens every few months, it just doesn't always get media coverage.
In Sittensen, it was the story with the old man who shot one of the youths(?) from behind while they were fleeing, right?

I intend to have Ethernet cable laid to the exterior wall at 2-3 spots. That way you could easily mount a cam and connect it via PoE. No battery, just one cable, no bandwidth issues, no security issues (wireless solutions).
One just has to consider that if someone clever wanted to get into the house, they could easily overload the Wi-Fi with very simple means, rendering the cameras ineffective. A significant disadvantage of these "cloud cameras." Local buffering via SD card or something is, in my opinion, mandatory.
On the other hand, how intelligent are the typical burglars anyway.

Well, you can also overdo it, with the burglars coming by with WLAN blockers. Next, they'll come with an EMP generator?!
If the camera in the carport is looking down somewhere behind a big crossbeam, a burglar will hardly notice it until they've been filmed.
A general problem with security cameras that send alerts is unfortunately that you have to constantly turn them on and off. Otherwise, they would send an alert every time you walk by. Overall, security technology is probably not as simple and cheap as many imagine. Or you settle for simple technology and say that it's enough. It probably is...
The best thing is to have already experienced a break-in with known draconian consequences. Like with those hunters, where surely no one will break in again. Things like that tend to get around quite well.

Occasional burglars are more deterred by light and RC2 windows/doors than by cameras. In this respect, one should reconsider the purpose that the cameras are supposed to serve.

Burglars just don't wear masks during the day so they attract less attention. You can film/photograph them and maybe someone will be found. When it comes to some Eastern European, that's pretty pointless, but for neighborhood trouble "his lawnmower robot is always so loud, so steal that thing" the camera is worth every cent. But if you don't film the burglars, the police do nothing at all. If you do film something, the police at least have a lead. And with luck, you even film a license plate because they were stupid enough to park on the driveway.

And attempted burglary: once the window is ruined, it costs money. Not every insurance pays for prevented burglary. And light well, in the evening. But they come during the day when you're at work, plus light doesn't help then.
