What a way to start your day……this video was recorded on my home surveillance camera.
Some additional information:
There was damage to the vehicle (side door, side panel, rear door), the driver is safe. I did not speak to him directly, but did speak to the officer on the scene afterwards and everyone (except for a wooden fence) was OK.

PEACE OF MIND = PRICELESS
***FOOTNOTE***
One of the best things you can do to improve the quality of your system is to upgrade the cameras. See http://youtu.be/r131QySG8TI for a good comparison of cameras.

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a Zmodo security system. The one I'm looking at is a spoe nvr 4 channel 4 camera and one plug(ethernet) for each camera. So it does not look the same as yours. Will I still be able to add audio, a microphone like you did?
Great job on the video and the system, Chris – thanks very much. Are any of your camera's IP type by chance? New to this and looking to incoporate a DVR with my IP cameras. Also, what model/brand hard drive did you use. First I'd heard of having a hard drive rated for security camera (audio/video) and a very good point. :-)
Hey man excellent video I checked its really not expensive so I'm concerned about quality is it still working to date?
Do you have to buy the Hard disk separate? Or it comes with the unit?
Hi again,
What is the model of the dvr that are you using?
Thanks,
Very nice video Chris. So well explained I could do this blindfolded while listening to the video. Thanks for sharing
what is the name of ur hard drive and the speaker that u bought? I did not realize this was going to cost so much I am looking for all in 1 . I also had to use a spare monitor they cost we bought another one cost 100.00 at best buy!
And how did you conect the cable in the Dvr….thanks.
Hi…do you need to add the microphone to all the cameras or can be just one? Pleae let me know…and excellent video.
I found these tips from http://www.neighborhoodguard.org:
What footage is needed for Conviction.
In order to get a burglary conviction based on surveillance video alone the video will need to have all of the following:
100% certain identification: i.e. clear unmasked face shoot
The breaking and entering.
The suspect leaving with items of value that are clearly identifiable.
Clear chain of evidence of the footage.
Timestamp on the video
Video obtained without violating the suspects constitutional rights. (see article on legal considerations)
Example of footage not enough for conviction alone.
The following photos is not enough to convict by itself.
Suspect arriving on the street, license plate readable
Suspect entering the driveway of victim
Suspect leaving the driveway of victim 10 minutes later.
It is however enough for an investigator to pay a visit to the suspect, and if we are lucky the suspect is on probation or parole letting any peace officer in California perform a warrantless and suspicionless search and seizure.
If the same vehicle and person has been linked to other burglaries it could be enough for a search warrant and/or an arrest.
hey man nice system well done.
I'm installing an levies 16 camera setup and I found this helpful thanks!
You're the most challenging part is the wiring/installation. Did you had to drill a hole into the walls to mount the camera? I'm afraid to do it to mines because it get damaged.
Chris.. Please help me.. I have the ZMD-DX-SBN8.. My password won't work.. I have done the re-setting.. I have also taken out the battery and re-boot… but the factory setting of "111111" doesn't even work with doing all that.. Any suggestions? Oh.. I am having the same problem as you with the house break-ins… I really do need this working
hi i got router HG630B and i got DVR please tall me how can i do port forwading please help me
I have the Zmodo ZMD-DX-SAN8. Its an 8 channel 960H DVR (H.264 Digital Video Recorder).
I hate that the website isn't very clear on which internal hard drives are compatible. Can I use a laptop or desktop computer hard drive or does it have to be surveillance only?
I just want video & have it set up only at night. Could a Toshiba 500GB Internal Serial ATA 2.6 laptop hard drive work? Its $54.99 at Best Buy.
Should I use a vga splitter??? Did u do this on ur tv's??
Those dogs where laughing their faces off.
Dogs were like omg mail man he's
Comeing back o wait. He crashed
Ooo man that was close to the house

I thought the truck was going to hit the house
Wow
He picked up his hat because he didn't want to leave any evidence behind lol

At first I thought the dogs were gonna attack him. Then I assumed Someone was attempting to steal the car …. But your telling me he didn't put his breaks on 🙂 now that's funny
