What type of surveillance camera would be best suited for the entrance to my gated community? Our gated community needs a surveillance camera. Our gate was hit and broken two times, but we have been unable to determine who did it (probably am impatient driver). If we had a camera that could capture video for 24-48 hours (and then recycle), we could determine who is responsible for future incidents. Since there is only one entrance to the community (besides climbing over fences), this would also be a deterrent to criminals entering the community. There is a light pole with electricity near the entrance to the community, so power and view plane issues are not a problem. We just need to be sure the resolution of the images is sufficient to capture faily good images (license plate numbers, etc). This is Altanta, so severe weather is also not an issue. Finally, we are a small gated community, so we cannot afford very expensive options. Reliable, inexpensive solutions are preferred over high cost, high-tech solutions.

Is it possible to scramble my surveillance camera even though it is not wireless? My girlfriends ex husband appears to be able to send my survaliance camera on the fritz every time he comes by. I live in a private community so all I need to do is catch him on camera more than once and the police will step in. unfortunately she is usually home alone when he comes by and he has figured out how to scramble the picture on the VCR. it records on a vcr and uses a wire between camera and recording device. any ideas as to how this is possible? any ideas on how to fix it? or at least how to protect against it? First of all she's terrified of him and that you cannot fake. second it is not going to snow it appears that the picture jumps on the screen. the camera has infra red lights and I heard that there is radar detectors out there that can scramble or mess with them. It is only some cars that come through that affect the recording. After it stops jumping you see the receeding taillights of the car. She is too nervous to go outside and check to see if it's him but I'm guessing it is he's a control freak. I think the one guy is right he has a cell phone and loves taking pictures of her with her new family when they are not looking so it is likely that he's clicking photos or has an anti radar device in his car. I was kind of hoping for a way to block the camera from interferance.
