I would highly recommend you DON'T get cameras. That is the most suspicious thing you could do other than set a plant out on the front porch for sunlight. Everytime someone sees one of those they will think, "Why exactly does this guy need cameras that badly?" It will cause you way too much unwanted attention.
Tons of people have cameras. In a one block radius I know of at least 10 houses that have cameras near me, and this is a nice neighborhood. If you're worried about attention from them, then don't mount them in plain view... it's that simple. Especially since this is a 100% legal grow, cameras would be a great idea. If you happened to get robbed whether it's for your crop or not you have all the right (and should) to go to the police with the video footage.

Newton didn't have to know about those or anything yet invented when he came up with universal laws of motion, the key here being 'universal.'
Certainly recoil can be redirected but the amount of force that would knock a grown man 3 feet backward is still going to have a major effect on the shooter, even if a small amount of that force can be directed into loading another shell. Stop getting your physics from Hollywood.
they already covered this on mythbusters twice now.....even a 50. caluilber didnt knock a man back even a foot........MYTH BUSTED when some one gets shot they DONT fly backwards they fall to the ground..ask some one who has actually killed somone in iraq if they flew back in air.........lol

I've used an old laptop running linux with some FOSS application called ZoneMinder and a few $50 webcams from best buy. Works out real well.

I do admit, though, that running long usb cables throughout your home can be a pain in the ass.

But, it IS the most cost-efficient system I've come across yet. Just need to be willing to get your hands dirty with some computer shit.

Oh, and, did I mention that I can check my camera system remotely from anywhere I can get an internet connection? :bigjoint:

I have been a security consultant for over 20 yrs so here is my 2 cents
for anyone considering an alarm system please read this
Alarm systems & grow rooms

as for cameras,they are common in all but lower middle class neighborhoods near me & are starting to be seen there as well.
a place w/ good prices that I have dealt w/ is www.cctvhotdeals.com

Cameras,like alarm signs, are a good deterrent if visible but only good if you know the person cought on tape.very seldom have I seen someone random caught solely by video.mostly it is an ex employee,boyfriend or neighbor that is recognized.strangers are usually caught w/ other means and only verified to be the same person on video.
if you suspect someone you know might be ripping you off,go for a camera system but if you are worried about strangers,a few large obvious cameras hung on the wall with enough wire to go into the wall will work but buy a real camera,even a dead one as most dummy cameras that I have seen are obvious.

all the clint eastwoods on here are funny, you really wanna take a life over some weed?

i bet you think you do but you will regret it as the biggest mistake of your life, if you ever did, a little reality is needed here.

Cameras might make a stupid guy say "oh he has a camera, there must be somthing to steal",

in reality they would say "oh he has a camera, let go to the next place where there isnt one".
 
Deterrence, whether or not actual defensive measures are in place is paramount. 1. The little window stickers indicating a security alarm system. 2. Beware Of Dog sign. 3. Keeping a leash runner and a BIG bowl by the back door. Just these 3 things will slash the likelihood of your premises being intruded upon significantly.

Even if u get someone on camera, wutcha gonna do w/it? Not many are gonna take footage to the fu*kn cops! Not much unless u know the person u see. That would make my blood boil seeing some one uproot my girls!

Its a difference when you have a burglar break into your house you can shoot that motherfucker as long as your gun is legal what do you have to worry about?
