C556 351 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 If you decide to buy it set it up high up and out of reach. At night when the PIR's are activated and the camera takes a picture, the IR LED's will probably glow red for a second indicating where the camera is if the prowler is clued up. I'd have a PIR activated floodlight covering the area as well. It is a good deterrent and he won't be able to spot anything in the surrounding darkness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
