    These days armed robbers use R1, R4 & R5 rifles.

    The only places they can get these weapons is either in the Police force or in the Defence force.

    My aim is to use less man power & rely more on technology.

    Strikes are making it more & more difficult to rely on guards.

    In the old days if a policeman striked he was charged with mutiny, today if POPCRU says strike you don't see a policeman in site. http://popcru.org.za/

    In JHB there is a camera on every corner & it has reduced crime drastically, the problem is not every residential area has the finance to do the same thing. As soon as they see an incident they send a response team out.

    My system will work but I think I need to sit back a bit & do a lot more research before I take a step forward again. I think I will get a small 2 channel system in the mean time lust to cover my front & back until I ahve decided what I want.

    Due to the high crime rate people have turned they property into fortresses. (In rich areas some people have perimeter walls exceeding 5 meters). This has resulted in criminals catching a person entering the property & forcing him/her to disarm any security devices they have in place e.g. alarm system. If they see a camera they force you to show them where the system is kept.

    Sometimes they go as far as shooting any men & raping any females on the premises. A few years back there was a case where the perpetrators even raped a six month old baby.

     

    The reason why I am choosing Linux is because I have been informed that it is less hacker proof.

    Once my system is completed I want it to be connected to my alarm system.

    In the event of an alarm activation the affected areas will be recorded either on a third party premises or in cyber space where they footage cannot be deleted or tampered with. If a panic or silent remote panic button is pressed or a duress code inserted into the key pad all cameras are recorded on a third party premises. I also don't want someone hacking into my system & getting footage of my premises.

    I have decided to buy a computer built to my spec instead of using my old one. The best place I seem to be able to find on the net is comx .

    I am currently running Open Suse on my laptop & am fairly familiar with it.

    Can I still use it on my computer I will be using for my CCTV system or is there a better distro that I could use?

    I have decided to go the pc route with my home based system as I can slowly build it up in sections & invest in better quality equipment.

    I have seen CCTV systems running both Microsoft & Linux but I haven't seen topic relating to which one is better.

    I have read that for internet usage Linux is more hacker resistant.

    I would like to know which is the best Operating server to use, Linux or Microsoft regarding being hacked & stability?

    Hi, I am from Johannesburg, Gauteng (Criminals know it as Gangsters Paradise)

    I have been in the security industry for the past 10 years.

    I used to have a fair knowledge of the old switch & video recorder but with these new systems it feels like I have fallen into the Kimberly hole.

    I am looking at building a home based CCTV system & have a lot to learn so I might ask a few questions later.

    Here in South Africa the criminals don't take cr*p.

    They simply just blow the safe out of the ATM.

    From the time they arrive at the ATM to the time they leave is usually under 3 min.

    They are also usually well armed & any security guard that is near there runs like hell.

    If you do intend installing a camera make sure the footage is kept at the third party premises.
