Surveillance camera for outdoors

Hello

I have, among other things, some wildlife cameras in the garden. You can hardly see them. Nowadays there are some with Wi-Fi transmission. A few years ago, I recorded two men in front of my terrace at 3:30 in the morning. Unfortunately with balaclavas. I have two Netatmo cameras on the terrace. They are very good. I told them not to record me and not to turn on any lights. But they do for strangers. They are also not interested in cars and animals. I think the two are great.

We have an inspection with the window maker coming up soon. I will deal with mushroom heads and lockable handles again then. Cameras don't seem to be the most sensible option for me right now.

VSG glass possibly only in the basement window with the adjacent light well, simply because I'm afraid something might fall through there and it won't break through.

Brief feedback from me: We do everything that is not directly adjacent to the street and accessible as RC2N – including the windows above the carport with lockable handles.

Basement windows with the light well will be RC2 with safety glass. The rest is normal triple glazing. The police statistics, I believe, said that only 6-8% completely break the glass to get into the house, mainly in inner-city areas.

I have discarded cameras for now and hope that burglars then choose the neighbors. Because they didn’t take mushroom-headed locks. :)

Overall, in my opinion, this is a sensible and above all appropriate decision given the circumstances to secure a "normal" residential building. Everything else seems to me to be nonsense without any real added value. You can assume that the average apartment burglar does NOT break your windowpane but rather pries open door/window with a screwdriver or similar tool. These mentioned 6-8% of glass breakers would certainly be assessed completely differently if looked at in detail and not just in the statistics. Try yourself to throw in or smash a triple-glazed window without seriously injuring yourself.

Two years ago, they actually smashed the glass of the lifting/sliding door on the terrace at my brother's, but only after they failed with a screwdriver. Last year, they then took their time at our place and pried open the RC2 door, completely destroying it in the process. Where there's a will ...
