CCTV advice
#9
Before installing any CCTV system you need to decide what you want it to achieve.  That may sound obvious you would be amazed at the amount of people that don't give it a thought and then bask is a false sense of security because they are 'protected' by a CCTV system. 

A couple of examples - if you want it as a deterrent then you are just as well off using dummy cameras (or empty camera housings) placed in locations where they are clearly visible - such as fairly high up on the wall.  If you want it for evidence-gathering then the cameras need to be placed at head height in choke locations - that is locations where people have to pass by to access your garage/bike - and need to be covert.  Otherwise they will be compromised by the toe-rag trying to steal your bike. 

If you are installing lots of expensive kit around the place where it will be seen it will not protect your bike and will also be no good for identifying the thieves.  It will, of course, show your bike has been stolen - which will be obvious from the empty space in your garage - but will have little, if anything, to offer in the subsequent efforts to catch those responsible.
