We have a couple of horses that live on (our) land a couple of miles from our house. This summer we have had intruders onto the land who have been seen, identified and reported to the Police. Unfortunately, without photo's there is not much we can do... and even with photo's there is not much.
Figuring the intruders didn't want to risk of being caught, I put up a dummy CCTV camera and stuck the obligatory CCTV notice on the gate, this seems to have stopped any further intrusions, for now.
However, my feeling is that next spring, if the people concerned are still around, the whole situation will kick off again, and so I have just started to look at wireless CCTV cameras, and quickly realised that despite my technical background, I have almost no idea what I am looking at / for.
So, anyone in the trade? Or able to advise on what I should look for and how much I should pay.
I would actually like something pretty discreet, as I would dearly love to catch the people in the act.
I am deliberately being vague about the nature of the trespass, but will say that it is nothing... distasteful or painful to the horses, if it were, I would have taken time off work to ensure I caught them.
