This is d-i-y related in the sense that I will end up doing the work...
I've just installed a camera which covers the immediate vicinity of my house, at the front. This is to try and see the scrotes who keep vandalising my car, my wife's car and several others in the street (we don't have off-street parking but in any case, people up the road suffer and they park in driveways). They do this on Friday and Saturday nights, on the way back from pubs and clubs.
Leaving the DPA aside...done to death in another thread!
OK, I can see them (and can hear general noise but nothing specific). I have good lighting.
Now, I have my doubts that the plod will rush over to my place if I see someone and call them....be nice if they did, but... I can clearly confront them (probably not wise).
What else have people done in this situation? I'm talking equipmwent, precautions, and yes...what to do if I actually see something. I coiuld always switch on a large floodlight and set off a siren as they touch the car, but...????
