Check out the new "SCNC3804: Sharx Security mini outdoor"


If you don't need good low-false-positive motion detection and to be able to reliably identify the faces of strangers, I wouldn't worry too much about reviews, you just want something that will reliably record video?

I'll try to search for that model. Amazon was out of that one, but have another model. Would it be good enough see that it's him coming from his property onto mine? I'm not all that tech savvy, so I'm confused as to the low-false positive motion detection. Thank you!

You are right from what I read also. I'll just have to figure something out for the front of my house where I can hide the wire. Thank you!

Well, I ended up buying the Uniden Guardian G766 system with the 7" monitor. The cameras themselves were easy to install. The front of my house is lit fairly well at night so the video is great on that one. The one I installed for the back of the house where there's no lighting is terrible. I also bought a third camera to cover my driveway which I haven't installed yet.

I haven't even had these for two weeks and this old turd figured out how to mess with the signals and I didn't have any video for two days. He shining bright lights into them and throwing stuff like little rocks. I honestly thought he'd shoot it with a BB gun and I don't doubt that he'll do it.

He actually spent four hours in the middle of the night a couple of days ago just shining lights and throwing stuff at them. I turned the back camera more toward my property to see if it stops him or slows it down. He'll have to come onto my property to keep pulling his stunts.

Does anybody have any suggestions for how I could protect the cameras?
