It was my allotment sites AGM last night,it was agreed upon to have surveillance cameras put up to stop theft and dumping on the site. Who else has got cameras up on the site,and how do you feel about it?

We have some on the entrance... because we have a large substation on site but a lot of the city sites have some...

None for us, but we do have a curtain twitcher nearby. They would not bother me though.

We have only one camera and unfortunately its proved worse than useless.  More than one would maybe sort out the problem    :blob7:

Checking where the camera is is just like checking which way the wind is blowing.... soon becomes second nature!

Not sure if we are going to be told where the cameras are going to be put or how many.

After the cameras have been in installed .....would you believe on Thursday a number of allotments was broken into !!!, smashing into sheds and taking tools .......but leaving most of what they took behind!! Luckily my allotment was missed. Just hope who ever it was was caught on camera.

Might have made the scrotes think there was something worth knicking... still sorry to see it happened and glad you weren't affected.

Hi Ya, It's annoying when your plot gets vandalised. I had a prize pumpkin I was growing for charity cut in half once. I now have a trail camera I use to record the wildlife on the plot. Birds and foxes etc. That is set up for me. I am all for cameras but the authorities don't care. Anyway chin up and keep going. Good Luck
