What’s domestic oil theft?
Is that oil for heating, in which case would that be stored outside?
Would sound very targeted on one thing they’re after, and not a risk to breaking in the home if that’s the case (though maybe they’ll be taking a look at the house security at the same time, or maybe burglary is not their thing, just nicking oil).
Anyway, got friends who mess about with IP cameras and sensors, hook them up to Raspberry Pi or servers and they send alerts. One has a camera on the door which takes a photo of everyone at the door and pings their phone.
Not sure what’s involved in all this though but interested in getting into this. I’ve got a Synology NAS and it comes with a surveillance module which I believe I just need to hook up some IP cameras to use it. Tricky bit is power at the point where the camera is.
