+1 on dogs, we are in one of those out of the way locations favored with sales visits by the travelling community, a local landowner even allowed them to grase their horses here for a while giving them a reason to come knocking; now that we have big dogs and gates they won't even risk opening the gates to drive down
While I'd wouldn't use overt CCTV it is quite funny watching peoples reactions to dummy cameras (the real camera boxes with nothing in them). A neighbor has built a new house and I can see the entrance from where I'm sitting, its a good walk/drive down to the house and you have to go around a sharp bend in the drive before you get to it. The side wall of this house facing the drive has a massive camera housing on the side of it the sort you see on motorways but you don't see the camera until you round the bend. So the house was empty during the winter, locally it would have been known it was empty and I'd watch locals going down the drive for a quick look at the new house only to round the bend see the camera housing facing them and turn around straight away. For a while it was Sunday afternoon event.0 -

Tail firmly between their legs no doubt! :-D
I have yet to be graced with a visit from members of the Travelling community, what sort of stuff do they try to sell, fresh produce, that kind of thing?0 -

Ive one hidden behind a spot light at the side of the house looking at the front and 2 criss crossed at the back of the house so the whole back garden is covered I added wireless transmitters and receivers to them and have a dvr recording them Ive also put this type of cctv just behind the guttering of my parents and sisters houses and cant really be seen during the day but at night the 48 leds light up and is easy seen0 -

That's way to subtle for some people, remember in a crisis they may not have google to look up what a backhoe is!0 -

I'll leave it to the legal discussion forum. It may exist in some case law but doubt its in any statute book. I'll slap it on every wall I'll ever ownIts one of those things where you can put it 7ft up on a drain pipe or on the roof of a shed but its illegal if its on walls that can be reached from the ground or lower than 7ft on drain pipes and (stupid I know but thats the law)
The courts are a good place to see how laws can be interpreted in a vast array of different ways for the most simplistic of laws.
Lots of surprises await any Nike/tracksuit visitors!0 -
I went the same road with the razor wire but its crazy to think that you cant protect your home with something as silly without risking court. I seen a case a couple of years ago an intruder well known to the Guards sued Dublin County Council because he ripped his hand on the fence as he was climbing over "to pass through" and won the case thats why most places are changing to the rounded fence topI'll leave it to the legal discussion forum.

Anyway back on track Thanks for the tip on the paint I may use it in some spots
Was looking at the spiked like mats you can put on the wall to stop cats and birds but unsure if they would be of use0 -
