Airstrip Security Cam setup question
Setting up cameras to monitor the airstrip, its pretty good kit
Samsung 7084r IR night vision camera attached to a Samsung 472 NVR The question I have is the camera has an "easy focus" function which basically runs an autofocus routine during the routine it can read a car license plate at the gate but when it finishes running it settles on a view that blurs the license plates, also when dark the luminous parts of the back of the car like the license plate and bumper reflectors create a lighted halo that obscures seeing the car clearly Here's the cam link SNO-7084R Any of you camera experts out there have any ideas? |
Make sure your cameras are secure they also like nicking good cameras!

Good advice 707 , the bar stewards will steal anything nowadays. they nicked my ancient and knackered Frasier 3 ton tipping trailer a few months back, it was worth about 100 quid but that did not stop them trekking out to the strip with either a tractor or small Lorry with a pick up hitch. Seems like a lot of effort and risk for scrap but hey ho I guess that's how those buggers roll.

Some of these people are so stupid that they work harder at crime and get less return than they would at an honest job.

Got the system all installed a while back , I'd hired a young lad as a handy man to help me. I put him up in the forklift bucket and he installed one of the cameras 20ft high up on the roof aimed at the fuel tanks.
I caught my first thief on camera last night, a guy nicking my diesel. No prizes for guessing who 😀 The mind boggles !! |
Oh dear,obviously has short term memory problems :)

... or he thought the camera only worked in daylight!

or he thought the camera only worked in daylight I think I must be be getting old and grouchy as I can help but feel that the younger generation seem to have an inherent sense of entitlement to do, act and take whatever they want and when they get caught feel a half assed apology completely redeems them from the financial loses to others of their actions. When I called this clown to ask him what the f&*k he thought he was doing he said in a rather off hand dismissive manner, " Oh yeah sorry about that, I'm really angry at myself for stealing your diesel" with no offer of replacing it. Maybe I'm behind the times but at that age I would have expected replacement and an ass kicking at a minimum. |
I would have asked for the equivalent cost of fuel to be paid otherwise I'd call the police. As mentioned, these stupid youngsters should be punished so that they don't go through life feeling they can get away with things which to them might be insignificant.

Not so much bold as very, very stupid...

It seems pointless to go to the expense and effort of installing cameras if once they identify a thief, who you can name, who admits his wrong doing no further action is taken.
Either use the camera evidence and report him or save your money. He had his chance to redeem himself and failed, who is the mug? |
He had his chance to redeem himself and failed, who is the mug? I'm reminded of a comment from lawyer I hired for one of my divorces when I complained to him i was offering more than was I obligated to as per the prenuptial but the ex still wasn't satisfied. He said to me "No good deed goes unpunished in this world" |
A friend recently had his yard raided and a significant value of agricultural machinery stolen. The interesting point is that he had high end video cameras recording the whole area, which were all jammed and no video was recorded. Another establishment which shares a access road with him has military level cameras with ANPR and facial recognition software running was also jammed.
It would seem that the bad guys are getting hold of some sophisticated kit. |
I can help but feel that the younger generation seem to have an inherent sense of entitlement to do, act and take whatever they want and when they get caught feel a half assed apology completely redeems them from the financial loses to others of their actions. This is not a simple case of petty theft. When a scrote steals from someone who has helped them it's a different psychology altogether. |
Not only nicking your fuel but wearing a Volvo jacket too!. Surely you could have given him a John Deere one! :-)

How good are the images and video recordings using the NV ?

Edit to add: duh, I just realized you meant Night Vision, it's not so good so I mounted flood likes with motion dectectors, I considered getting one of those big stand alone IR units but they were pretty pricey |
Thats what I thought when you said night vision cameras, used similar stuff at night but the range of the night vision is limited. Just had some tw@ts steal a couple of off road bikes so now need to upgrade the cctv and was considering NV but in reality probably additional flood lighting with decent cameras should suffice.
