Put up if you can some cameras just to protect your place.

I've been thinking of doing that..I used have a surveillance camera set actually and just tossed it right before I met my man..wishing I hadn't now...anyone use these,know how to set one up? How can you record stuff?

I'm not saying I'd do this, but it's tempting!

Inde- that's really funny you posted that because when this all first started, that story was the first thing that came to mind!! Lol!!

Well, you should have enough evidence to file harassment charges... Not sure if you want to go down that road.

I would get a camera! We just put up cameras that cost very little. $69.99 folks that have community notification and are online will have a much different experience with the registry.

The bad thing is most neighbors want registered citizens out because it hurts the property value and it really is terrible the government puts families in such potentially dangerous situations.

After a few community notifications one tends to get very thick skin but that never makes it less comfortable to deal with bullies or just plain ignorant people.

Usually neighborhood bullies grow tired of the games and eventually move on and hopefully they will do this also. Keep a journal with dates, times and events also if possible.

I hope it settles down for you and I do know how it feels!

Evidently the police department and the fire department know who has made the calls, or could find out if they really wanted to. You at least have the yelling-obscenities incident that was witnessed by the fire department to go from. I would ask the police whether the yelling-obscenities incident is sufficient cause to press harassment charges.

This neighbor is wasting taxpayers' money by sending the fire department and the police on wild goose chases. I'd be willing to bet the fire department and the police are equally as annoyed by this neighbor as are you. Ask for their help.

@duppydoozy,

A basic system like this is pretty easy to set up:

http://tinyurl.com/ob34nav

The standard cables are 60 foot long and extensions are available if you need to go longer. The cabling carries both power and the video signal making things pretty simple. One of the default settings is to only record when motion is detected and you can also schedule times not to record at all or to record continuously. When the recorder gets full it automatically starts recording over the oldest recordings..

One limitation with a basic unit like this is the more camera views you want recorded at the same time, the slower the frame rate so if you tried from recording from 8 cameras at once you're only going to capture about 6 frames per second per camera and it'll be really really jerky. For a reference the standard frame rate for TV is 30 frames per second.

More money gets you more features and more cameras but even this one can be monitored through a web browser or a smartphone.

Folks... Getting security cameras are highly advised!!! Get as many as you can afford and post signs saying that you have them! I have a spare computer dedicated to running 24/7 recording my cameras, audio and visual. I have one directly above the front door... the only door I will answer when they come for compliance checks.so I get the best shot. They are recording 24/7 but indicate when motion is detected like a DVR so I can review any triggers. You would be very surprised how professional the sheriff deputies become when they know they are being recorded. (I have some real jerks!)

You can solve the frame rate issue by following some simple installation rules. You defiantly want to hard wire them for the best throughput. Also if you are saving the data to the cloud you may run into issues with your provider. I am running 4 IPCAMs at above 25 FPS.

Your neighbors will also behave themselves when they know that they are being recorded. The cameras can broadcast to the internet so you can watch them from anywhere. You can also set them up with law enforcement (if you have a fairly professional install... (They don't like false alarms!)

If anyone want more information or sign templates please PM me and I'll be happy to help you.

If you can't afford real cameras you can buy imitation cameras for real cheap that just have LEDs lighting up that make anyone who sees them believe they are real. The results is pretty much the same...

Ooohh that's a good idea freetobreathe...might have to try that myself.

We're planning on doing this at my shop and at home. I have someone coming over in October. I've been looking into these for months now and I'm looking to spend a bit of money. What kind of system did you get?

Get a camera. Document everything in a diary with dates, times, pictures if you can.. etc... the more you have the better harassment case you can work up... It won't be something that will bring a criminal charge to them but you will have to sue them civilly. Which will bring financial burden to you both until the case is concluded and if you have won part of that winnings is that they pay for your legal counsel, that is IF you win.

At this point what you want to do is document it all... If they yell at you, if they harm your stuff, if they trespass, when when call the cops on you for no reason or whatever... the more you document the better your case will be when it comes to that... If they actually do any damage to you or your property, the documentation will show that there was a history of harassment that should also be addressed and can assist in a case such as that too. There are many uses for the information given time.. but you have to record it now for it to be useful to you in the future.

I agree, get a camera. I am planning on having a camera inside and outside of my home so when the officers come to check on my son (when he gets out of jail), I know whatever they tell my son will be recorded and if anyone tries to hurt us or damage my property, I will have proof. It will be worth the money! Let me know where you get yours. I have about a year or 2 to go before my son comes home.

Treat your house for termites then go get a bunch of termites, wait 5 years for your neighbors house to cave in...

Or get a bee suit, wait till 3am, get 3 hives of Africanized bees...

Anomalously pay other people to egg their house...

Let the air out of their tires wherever they go...

Get a throw away phone, then order take out to their house at midnight every night for a week, but from different locations so they cannot tell them to stop. When the driver gets there and calls you on the phone tell them that you are indisposed at the moment but just ring the door bell exactly 4 times and your kids will answer the door...

Just some things to think about lol, or you can do what WisconsinRSOL said to do which is by far the smarter way to go about it.
