My concern while responding on a fire engine, while you have a heart attack or your house burns down. I'll be stuck by the hazard signs, waiting for clearance from LEO or dispatch to enter a hazardous area.

I'd be concerned too, if there was any such emergency response support in my area in the first place. Valid concerns for those who are offered such services though.

OK, here are links to the videos.
The first video is from a camera about 225 feet from the gate and the gate is 12 feet wide.

We have a 4 by 8 laminated sign thats reflective. Says Private Landfill No Unauthorized vehicles. You wouldnt believe how many folks think they are authorized. Same story.
Just wanted to see whats down here,
Is there any Fish in that pond.
Can I dump this one thing.
What do yall do down here.
Are there any deer here.
We made some one really proud. Last year we were doing a walk around of the perimetier fence and behind some Houses o nthe property line theres a deer trail tat runs inside the fence. I noticed Pepsi can on a stick. We happened to walk down that trail where the can was and found a nice Real tree duck blind used for deer. Gave it to a workers son. We recently found one similar to it on the landfill we burnt it in place.

Wow, dcryrlic, you got the evidence. Makes the case that more than one camera is useful, as is lights at night.
Am wondering how your system works. I've considered something similar.
Is this something you built yourself, or is it a turn key purchased system? Brand name or web site?
Does the video run all the time, or just when motion is detected?
Is it saved in the camera, or sent to a common location such as a personal computer?
Do you get an alert when motion is detected, or do you just go look "after the fact?"
Hmm...just realized that answering these questions in the open is dangerous in itself since this info could be used to defeat your system...so, you may either ignore (and I won't be offended) or PM me. Sad comment on our times and human nature.

I'm good with your questions. I don't hide the cameras. In fact, the sign on the gate that you see the back of in the videos states that the area is under live/recorded video survailence.:confused2:
As for my system, it is one which I built myself. I have a Pelco DX7016 DVR. Retail price between $5,000-8,000. Pelco DX7016 Series 16 Camera Digital Recorder
I have three Pelco Esprit 3012 PTZ cameras. Pelco Esprit Color System w/Pedestal Adapter. I got them as enclosures only and put what cameras and lenses I could afford in them (mostly purchased off Ebay). One has the ultra low light camera 1/3 in. High Res Day/Night Compact Camera 12/24VAC which goes down to .002 lux. Two have Pelco CC3751H-2 low light cameras Pelco CC3751H-2 Digital Color Security Camera<BR>High Resolution, Lowlight, DSS Technology. I also have a less expensive Pelco PTZ unit with a less expensive color camera in it. I have three fixed cameras, two on the front gate which you've seen in the videos. The one with the 30x zoom looking right down the drive and an inexpensive B/W camera which really doesn't see very well in the dark. The last fixed camera is on my north gate and has a cheaper color camera.
I use Multimode fiberoptics to bring the video back to the DVR and take the control out to the cameras using IFS video encoders. http://www.gesecurity.com/portal/GESDownload?ID=4346&DID=4329&documenttype=Data Sheet. I use VT/VR 1500WDM single fiber modules for the PTZ cameras and have several VT1101M transmitters for the fixed cameras. GE Security Products - Mini Video Transmitters (Direct Camera Mount) VT1101M Series
I have slowly purchased them all off Ebay and on one purchase got 43 pieces including a rack for the rackmount receivers for $400.00. Retail price of my fiber equipment would be around $50,000 and probably around another $25,000 in camera equipment.:confused2: I've actually spent around $5,000 for everything.

I just purchased a Sentry V604. It's a small, 4 camera capable system but is expandable.
Sentry V Series Digital Video Recorder Surveillance Equipment
With three Sentry 5324IR outdoor night vision cameras.

It just arrived today and is still in the boxes. I hope the bad guys aren't reading this...

I know people who put up signs and fake cameras to try to scare thieves off.
I believe that if I can't read a plate or ID a face, then I've wasted my money.

I have a driveway alarm tied into my home automation system. Our drive is 1400', through the woods and up a hill. The wired alarm is at the first curve. So I have at least a few seconds to take action. The action always includes video of the driveway. If we are home, the system announces that a vehicle was detected. I go to a window and can see down to the last curve. If it is a vehicle I recognize (meter reader, UPS, etc.), I don't do anything. If I don't recognize the vehicle, I'm on the front porch waiting. Normally, it is lost, "just wanted to see" or "do you allow hunting/fishing." One winter I was on the porch and a car full of kids came up, saw me and turned around in the yard, making a real mess. Didn't have good enough video or eyes to catch the plate, but they never came back either.
If we are not at home, I get an email or phone call on my cell (I've changed to email with the new smart phone). If it is night, every light in the place is on.
We have never been robbed (thankfully). One time I called the sheriff to report a guy who clearly was asking questions I wasn't going to answer. I asked him if I should add a sign at the bottom of the hill, on the drive. He said the low-lives won't bother to read it - or can't.
I would go for a drive alarm and as much video as you can afford.

We purchased land on a discontinued road. At the time we purchased the property I went through all of the property research looking for any issues that might show it's ugly face and there was nothing. Had a lawyer do a title search, and pay particular attention to the discontinued roadway. Everything came back clean the road had been closed over a hundred years ago and there was nothing to worry about! WRONG
People were using the road often and the major concern was the mid-night drivers coming up so I put up a 14 foot gate feeling it is my land and I have a right to stop people from entering.
Well, someone took me to court and the liberal courts decided I did not have a right to prevent people from entering the property and was told to take down the gate. We were very upset but the judge did say he understood we had young children and were afraid for their safety so they imposed a 5 MPH speed limit, with the stipulation that the town would not have to enforce it!
Being a gun owner and believing in God I felt if anyone came on my property uninvited they just might meet both! (I actually got that from a song I heard) I mentioned that to our town police chief one night and he immediately pointed out to me not to never mention having a gun to anyone coming on my property again!
He went on to say I could end up in jail. So for over thirty years people have been able to ingress and egress as they please and I have posted 5 MPH signs on the roadway and no one slows down so I yell at them, wife thinks I am off the deep end, but it does satisfy me a bit just to yell out once in awhile. Oh there have also been times where I park half on the old discontinued road making it a bit tough to get by, after all it is my property and I pay taxes on it! I have calmed down over the years and if we see two or three unkown cars a month it is a high number, but I still get a bit upset over it.
Well, this past year we have a fellow named Ward Bird that held out his pistol to get someone to leave his property and is now serving 3 - 6 years in Prison for his actions. He was convected of criminal threatening and the state supreme court up held the ruling. I am sure there is more to the story than he just held up his gun to the woman, but really she was lost and way off from the town maintained roadways.

Bottom line is I guess, be careful on how you handle those trespassers and also what you say to them, courts are not overly protective of land owners.
