CCTV can be a valuable tool. 

Some cameras work by day and by night, and record when they detect movement. Some can be remotely viewed from a smartphone.

Position cameras where they are best able to obtain good quality facial images. Could you recognise or identify someone from the footage?  

CCTV linked to a smartphone will alert you to someone crossing your boundary. 

CCTV should not be a substitute for good quality physical security such as secure doors and windows. 

REMEMBER - 

There is legislation for home CCTV use, so always seek advice from an accredited installer first to ensure your system complies with the law.  

Place signage up warning that CCTV is in use.  

For advice and approved suppliers of CCTV visit the National Security Inspectorate and the Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board.
