Security camera to monitor job site

[Clarence Ng]

We just had a burglary and lost a bunch of tools. Which camera or system would you recommend to protect or monitor the site for safety and optionally double as a tool to check for trespassing / capture work progress

Sorry to hear that. It's a real pain to lose your tools. I use SWANN and I can watch from my computer or my phone. It also has wireless and night vision and a motion sensor. I'd also plaster signs outside that there are cameras watching them. 

The truth is if someone breaks in & has a hat on and keeps looking down, the camera doesn't cath their face. Thieves know this. I set mine inside facing the doors and windows and that allows for a better face capture. What you don't want is for the thieves to steal the recording unit. I set mine in the attic and used wireless so they would spend a long time looking for it if they thought they wanted it. Cameras and an alarm system work well together.
