1 Security protecting your display With content from J. J. Purpura

2 Topics to Cover Security Lights can be put anywhere Securing items to prevent theft Security Cameras & Recorders Other ideas and ways to protect

3 Security Lights The first step to protecting your display is adding security lighting Security Lights can be added anywhere All that is needed is a Long Extension cord or lamp cord (zip cord) wire and a couple of screws A dark yard is a prime place for vandals to do their work if lights are on, that work becomes much more difficult

4 Security Light added to fence (Using a long zip cord plugged in a garage outlet)

5 Security Lights Many different sizes, types and quality Some have an alarm that goes off in house when activated and have a blinking LED on the outside fixture (looks like a alarm) Use with a timer so not on during display but always on when display is off Can plug in a manual device such as radio or bell when activated through plug in bulb socket

6 Securing Items The idea is to deter theft, if security light goes on, there is not much time for the theft to occur. If the item is locked down, there is no time to figure out a way to loosen it. If item is not locked down, it is a simple steal. Even if security light goes on, a quick run and grab and it is gone.

7 How to secure items Dog tie out stake & Eyebolts and Locks Metal Electric boxes for light controllers Secure cables to trees or other fixed items A modified rebar for hard tough soil use cable clamp and one chain link or similar Security cable if cut, alarm goes off created using a modified window alarm

8 Dog Tie out Stake (metal cork screw 16 to 20 long)

9 Blowmold with Dog tie out stake screwed down in ground and locked to eyelet bolt through blowmold

10 Metal Box to house two controllers. Dog tie out stakes will be screwed down in ground inside box. Lid closed and locked with secure lock. Box is grounded and secured by the stakes

12 Modified rebar with Cable clamp and Chain Link For driving into tough soil can lock items to it

13 Security Cameras Sony EX-View chip best in Low Light. Works in as low as.0003 lux (extremely low light- no infrared LEDs needed) Cameras with infrared LEDs only work for short distances but effective in complete darkness (infrared LED s are invisible spot lights projecting out several feet) The more LED s on the camera, the better check range of projection Cameras are also useful to monitor display crowds use wireless transmitter to any TV in house

14 Security Cameras Additional LED infrared lights can be added to area to act like additional invisible flood light that will help non ex-view cameras in dim light (also work with EX-view cameras) Wireless cameras easy to set up and can transmit back to recorder, but risk interference through airwaves Wired can buy long video extension cords so can run long distances from recorder has power and video connectors

17 Video Recorders Digital DVD Recorder uses standard DVD disk DVR Recorder digital time lapse recorder Analog Video Time Lapse VCR Regular home VCR (VHS or Super VHS) Computer - PC based PCI card and software - capture video to hard drive

18 Video Recorders Digital recorders - DVR Two types - Standalone unit or PC Card Can buy standalone unit which can record multiple cameras digitally onto a hard drive within the unit, no computer needed A DVR Card and software that fits in PC can be much less expensive, low as $25 and can also record multiple cameras.

19 DVR Recorder and PC DVR card

20 Video Recorders (Tape) Time Lapse VCR - 6, 12, 24, 48, etc. recording Uses standard VHS Tape but only one camera Rewinds tape at end and starts over Decent quality no digital artifacts with DVR but quality goes down with the longer hour modes Good time to purchase used very cheaply, most people are upgrading to DVRs

21 Video Recorders Regular VCRs (used in home) and DVD recorder *Cheap alternatives if you already own one Regular VCR Can record up to 8 hours with T-160 tape Have to rewind tape daily then turn on manually or set timer DVD Recorder (Burner) Can use a re-writable disc (DVD+/-RW) and set timer daily for up to 10 hours on some machines

22 Monitoring Outdoors Motion alarms Helpful to alert you if someone enters the yard Can be a part of security light or other motion detection devices that set off a signal in the house Sound monitors Can use the security camera microphone Can use wireless Baby monitors or other wireless audio monitoring devices

23 Other Put valued stuff closer to house Keep lights on indoors at night so house looks alive Keep a curtain open during night time if possible Get to know the police that patrol the area at night License plate important to get this number if you want positive ID Use fake security cameras for decoys Ask neighbors to keep a look out
