Last few days I think we had a guy casing our place or something. He has been driving slowly by multiple times and even stopped and tried to call the dogs over to the fence this morning. I saw it on camera and ran outside, got on my trusty golf cart shotgun across my lap and went his way calling the dogs back and he took off.
so, I decided to redo my security cameras that were installed 3 years ago due to growth of many of the trees I've planted. Lots of blind spots now all over the yard.
Finally my question, to hide or not to hide the cameras?
I've heard it both ways, better to hide them as cameras say this person has something worth stealing, or in plain sight as a deterrent?
My situation: we live on a loop road with very little traffic but am 1000' from a major road and my yard is visible. My yard is quite manicured, I have 3 acres fenced in with a 4-board wood fence around the property and have 5 outbuildings with lots of "stuff" inside worth stealing. I'm guessing we already look like a good location to hit minus the GSD's maybe. I'm thinking for us its probably better the cameras are out in plain view?
Thoughts or advice?
