whats everyone using to protect their boats, gear, and property?

which systems work well?
pros and cons?

We have had security cameras for over 10 yrs now.
 A geovision setup as a card in a PC, 24 hr motion recording .. also has number plate recon, masking, item movement counters and lot more.. most dont use.
 Cameras..
Your objective is to position and have the right camera vocal length to read number plates, ID peoples face, therefore location and vocal length.
 Important part is to get the camera with the right vocal length for the aera u are covering..
 ie up a long drive, cover the 1st 30/40  a 12mm lens
 Cover the yard to shed/ boat  9mm
 Cover front deck area and back door.. 6mm

They are your basic off the shelf 3mm.. all that good for is see movement or cover a small kitchen.. total waster of time.
 Our cameras where about $220 basic ones 10 yes ago... you pick up far better ones around $180 these days.

 boat security.. the std wheel locks.. leave one on and drive away.. it will smash your fenders and break away.. try it. a thief doesnt care
 Ball lock excellent... But if the boat is a straight drive out.. just hook up the chain to a car hitch, and it will tow out nps.. a duel wheel even easier.

Got to see the humour here.. A prowler about a month back.
 Signs up everywhere, the red glow from the night cameras stick up in the dark to confirm their actual existence..
Lost a bit of detail in converting the still files to upload to here.

 Hes got the screen part of the real elcheapo reversing camera that use for backing up to the trailer hitch in his hand
