Equipment security cameras

[klm]

Just put one of these on tractor, let them figure out what or where the camera is (if any)

I have grown to like the spypoint game cameras. Mine watch 2 footed game. Only down side, is they don't send pics out immediately, but price wise, very good. get 100 free cell pics a month, camera usually around $80. I power some with AC adapters, others with external rechargeable batteries.

FLEX-M

The SPYPOINT FLEX-M makes switching to cellular easier than ever before by providing incredible quality at an unbeatable price. Plus, every SPYPOINT cellular camera comes with 100 FREE photos a month and an invitation to the Insiders Club, which offers additional scouting tools, discounts on...

The eufy s340 cameras are good at following, but not cellular. They are my current favored camera with wifi available. Use with a mifi for service. They do tell you immediately when motion is detected. I have a few of these. Probably won't follow thru the glass though.

I plan on putting the camera inside the locked cab. They might not ever see it. Ot they might realize the camera is videoing them and run away.

All video cameras I know of have a light that goes on when it is recording. To lessen likelihood of camera being noticed, electrical tape over that red light is a must have.

Most infrared activated cameras don't sense through glass very well.

Not at all a nal about security, never have been out here in flyover country. Have a dog for a driveway alarm (hit and miss, mostly miss) and I leave the euipment barn door open about all the time. I do utilize a wireless camera with 3 transmitters in the cab tractor so I can observe what the mower or rake or bailer is doing, Thats it. I have everything insured againt theft anyway.

On Game cams, I use the ones that transmit to my phone so I can see what is moving about in the wooded property we own up north.

People today are way too a nal about theft. I'm not, maybe that's why nothing gets stolen around this farm.

Far as being secure in the house, if someone broke in with ill intent, I always have a handgun close by and I always carry concealed when about or sometimes open carry, depending on where I am. Up north I open carry simple because everyone does. People up north operated on the premise of... 'An armed society is a polite society'

I'd feel out of place walking into the Walmart or Menards up north and not open carrying anyway, because everyone else is...

Yes, I have a concealed carry permit as well as a Class 3 BATFE license.

Guess the word a nal is a prohibited word on here and why I spaced the 'a' from the 'nal'...

I sometimes forget this is a PG13 website...

Anyone have something like this?
I have been leaving equipment parked in the middle of nowhere, where there isn’t even a house nearby for years and have had 2 pretty bad vandalism attacks.
One was slashed tires, the other was someone jumped on the tractor hood and destroyed it. Would really like to catch the punks, then a knock on their doors with video evidence.

Looking for a camera that could be mounted in or outside the cab and would swivel to the approaching motion and send to my phone or maybe it would have to be stored in the camera itself?

What would be perfect is something that uses the tractors battery power.

I’m a novice at this stuff, so looking for suggestions or help.

Interesting HD. When I was running hay on not adjacent to the farm fields, I would always leave the equipment parked if I didn't finish that day and I never had an issue, ever. Of course I removed the keys and defeated the starting systems, I have master disconnects on both my tractors that isolate the starting batteries but not so much for vandalism but for when they sit in the barn all winter. Isolating a fully charged starting battery, if there is any parasitic loss, it's eliiminated. Flooded cell batteries typically loose 5% of their total charge per month which is incinsequential and they sit, unused, all winter. Do the same with my garage parked pickup trick as well. Battery isolation switches are cheap compared to a drained and possibly frozen battery and once a flooded cell battery freezes, it's basically junk. A fully charged battery is viable down to -40 which I'd never see here. If something ever happened, which it never did, I was insured anyway.

One thing I'm not and never have been is paranoid about things that 'might' happen.

Maybe one simple camera positioned over "bait"? Toolbox, fuel drum, whatever attracts the local trash the most.

This battery isolator would be a good subject for its own thread. Product link, picture of where it's mounted, etc.

Extra points for battery terminals accessible without raising the hood- for quickly checking voltage, jumping, or being jumped.
