Frightened myself.

So I was given a monitor and set up with the four cameras "security" to observe the little possm that runs along the rail on the patio.
So I am setting up a couple and then sat down to look at the menu what it can do etc.
So I see snap and tried to capture but that didn't seem to work when I hit playback ..and then when back to four cameras as I thought not realising I am watching a play back...I see on camera number one some weirdo on the patio and I can't work out what he is doing but obviously not a neighbour and seemingly up to no good.
Heck what to do..so I crept up to peek out the window...no one there anyways I finally realised this weirdo was in fact me...earlier I was cleaning up old clothes and I found a dressing gown and tried it on..the phone rang and I didnt notice I had not taken it off..I was on a mission to sort out stuff...so when U see myself on the monitor I see this character in clothes that I did not recognise so that helped me think it was some looney.Camera one recorded me it was only a foot off the floor and so I looked distorted as well...
Anyways wasnt funny for a while there.
Alex

I feel for you. Some mornings I frighten myself in the bathroom mirror.

Did you get your possum pics?

No he did not appear.
I need to set the cameras up better and set two up out the back where the bush turkey visits and there are some lizards.
After seeing there are such wild looking folk out there I need some weapons ...its moments like these you wonder why our gun laws are so tight.
Heck I would have gone up to Woolies and got an assault rifle if only they sold them...as they should...not hand guns...no way.
Be proud to present your assault rifle to an intruder ...just a few warning shots into the legs..no killing...and well one needs to be prepared for the day the Government starts to round us up...just like in the States.
I worked out I need another six cameras if I cant have a gun.
Two for security and the rest for animals.
Alex

Hey my friend did this to alex , he thought a fox was stealing his chickens so set up the camera , low a behold at 3 .00am the sensor picked up a person not a fox walking across his backyard and going to the chicken pen , he freaked about this for days before his wife pointed out those were his shorts in picture( Height was set for a fox so no head ) and the times were wrong on the recorder

I'm still getting mileage on this one

Alex,

made the kids laugh one day.
I showed them their father, on the security cameras, sitting in the middle of the back lawn
on a canvas chair, taking in the night sky at 1am while the camera in the dome did its thing.
The canvas broke on the directors chair, I fell through it. Spilled my
coffee all over myself.
Got up in disgust and kicked it across the yard.
Lucky there was no audio.

Steve
