Bike surveillance

If one wanted to keep an eye on one's motorcycle, any ideas on what one
would need and how to do it. Cheaply, of course...

I was thinking some form of motion-sensor-activated camera. I've got an
old camcorder I could conceal in the undergrowth but beyond that, nothing.

Rosie the Rottweiler was always my best and favourite.

They can be:
Cheapish [pet insurance a must]
Good fun when not employed to guard said bike.
A great training partner for those long evening runs [not that I ever did
any]

 

I`ve got a low-light camera unit with IR illumination, one of those 5"
tellies you get from petrol stations for about a tenner for the monitor, and
an old VCR on long play. Works a treat even on the darkest of nights and
gives quite a clear image. Also got an amplified electret microphone wired
up too, so the slightest tinkling of my chains being fucked with or the
sound of mouth-breathing unibrowed inbred fuckwits shuffling around my front
garden is easily evident. Total cost of such was about £50.


I did have plans to wire up a passive IR sensor up in some way to operate
the record/pause function on the VCR, but not got around to it yet.

 

If it's under cover - Baby monitor.

Cheers

Paul.

 

Hmm, good call, but sadly it ain't, it's kinda exposed...

Heh, I'd love to own a Rottie, but am not around enough to own one (or
any other pet, for that matter).

Too much caffiene, and a sniper rifle.

 

Check for item one, item two may be an issue...

Someone had one of those at the range last week. It makes a lot of
noise, and you can see the bullet (or at least the bullet's shockwave)
as it travels - very weird.

 

We used to use Barretts frequently - rather meaty devils they are.

heh, niiice...

<mode=serious> Thing is, whilst that bit of kit would (probably) work to
detect stuff wandering about the area, what I'm really after is
something that can covertly monitor an object or area without requiring
constant human intervention, IYSWIM.

My original thought of using some kind of motion-activated switch which
could then run a VCR/camcorder seems doable but only if I want to buy a
whole load of expensive professional kit, which I don't.

Although I am seriously considering retiring my extremely well trained
and huge dick from service to wimminfolk as there just doesn't seem to
be enough public demand to warrant the exorbitant advertising and
maintenance costs.
