Blinded by burglar

Post by medic-user »

So last week, a burglar hit a bunch of vehicles in my neighborhood. He broke into 4 cars (including a cop car), stole one, and stole a firearm from another. He attempted to break into my vehicle but was unsuccessful because it was locked. Pretty brazen, considering that there is a camera directly over where the vehicle was parked.

The video got no pictures of his face because he blinded the camera with a bright flashlight held next to his face and directed at the camera as he approached the house. All I have is a video of his body and the camera is blinded where his head is.

Is there some way of beating this? Perhaps a second camera pointed at the same area, but far enough away that it would take a second light to blind both? Will the tamper settings help this? Any ideas?

Install a fake camera, hide the real camera as best as you can. This brings up a thought. We need outdoor hidden cameras. Google searching, I see that there are not many on the market.
