Would this function as a security camera of sorts? We have someone who keeps littering on our driveway and want to know who it is.

My car got badly damaged by an a**hole trying to park, but he left before I could identify the plates. Our parking lot is small, having just one row deep of spots right next to the apartment building. Behind the small parking lot about 20-25' back is a tree. If I were to mount this on the tree inside the security box, and point it towards the parking lot, do you think I'd be able to see the plates of anyone pulling in at night? We have street lighting so it's not too dark.

I would say definitely YES. What I like about it is you can use it in the function mode that only takes pictures when motion triggers it to take pictures, or you can use it in the "time lapse" mode which will take pictures at intervals that you set (10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.). I like setting on the mode that takes pics using both modes, triggered by motion and time lapse every few seconds. I also like that you can use a "Python" master lock and cable to lock the Primos Truth Cam to a tree or post so it cannot be stolen.

Keep in mind the range for the motion sensor to operate is approx 40'. Also there is a visible red flash, while not very bright, may invite a vandals attention.

I'd like to think that would be a good use for it however the batteries drain rather quickly (we are in a cold climate so maybe they'd hold up better in a warmer climate). Whatever you end up with, I hope you nab the litter-bugs!

Thats a very good question... The glass is not clear so I'm not sure if the sensor would be able to detect motion at all times.

I would have to agree with the other coments. This is more of a monitorng/security camera. I would not use this camera in a business enviroment.

Yes, this would work fine for that. In addition to the motion detector, use the window/door sensor... Great idea!

Why would you want to do that? If you were able to disconnect the LED's, then you may not see the image when the PIR senses someone entering. If you want to 'Catch Someone' without giving away that they're being recorded, than, don't buy this lamp; because the PIR emits a blue light when it senses movement and they'll definitely see that. The LED lights DO NOT come on during the day, if that's your concern, but the camera, tripped by the PIR, still records movement.

This is only the camera. You would need cabling to a DVR surveillance system.

Andy, I wondered the same thing. It certainly looks to me like it would need total protection from weather outside. The software is a bit cranky but the camera works. I was hoping it would work looking outside through a window but it doesnt. It just sends a picture of its own refelection. Better suited as a nanny cam or the like than a security cam.

You might consider a DASH CAM, as i believe those have internal batteries that charge while driving, and can still record while parked.

I would think so as when testing this device around my home it detected my cameras in various places of my home and detected a camera that was just on the other side of a wall in another room. The closer you get to something the stronger the alert is that comes from the device. It has worked well for me so far.

I know it detects the speed traps on the interstate. As far as cameras I'm not sure.

No. This camera must be connected to a dvr. You may be looking for an ip camera.

Maybe . This is a wired backup camera. You will need to run power and video wires.

Yes, but it captures at an uncompressed bitrate, which will take up lots of space on your hard drive. A CCTV camera, that is running for hours, if not all day, would require massive amounts of storage, if you use this product. A CCTV DVR, which captures, and compresses, HD-SDI signals, is probably a better option for you. Good luck!

If he knows when your moving from room to room I would have law enforcement check your apartment for video cameras or listening devices that he has installed that you ARE NOT aware of. I would do this soon!

You'd want to "aim" camera...but I have great images 50 feet away. Have it on a pine tree along driveway. See everyone who comes and goes when I'm not home, ie: UPS guy, neighbors dog, etc etc.

No. Just to clarify. This isn't a real camera. It's meant to just look like a camera to scare away potential threats.

I believe so. We have our unit positioned far from our house along a lengthy driveway and it detects someone walking by or animal (deer) movement.
