1. Such a solution wouldn't stop such nefarious activities unless PC Plod recognised your mugshots and "apprehended the offender".Some archaeologist friends are complaining about thieves who metal detect at night. My solution would be IR webcams (ie webcams with the IR filters removed) a small PC running of battery/solar and a directional WIFI to send info on certain motion detect signals. Stick something like that out of normal reach and it should be possible to cover quite a large area and volunteers could check streams and come and visit in the case of intruders. Any ideas? An open solution to this could apply for all sorts of situations. Tom te tom te tom
2. An electric fence might help.3. Another option would be a 'wildlife camera' which uses PIR techniques to trigger a photo/video, provides IR illumination for night use and even has a wireless capability to transmit photos to your mobile/whatever . . . . Look for Bushnel or LTL Atom which is enthusiastically supported by a certain Ron Bury. I have just had one watching the space under my garden shed - lots of mice, a rabbit or two and a cat which was a surprise since I have no near neighbours and have never seen a cat here during daylight hours.
