MiketheBike Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Just got a new Maplin catalogue, and saw this: http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=257029 may be an idea...one wireless camera in MV, and a wired one at front of house? The wireless camera would need power to it, but it must be low power so maybe powered from vehicle batteries (dependant on voltage requirements of course)? Quote
Tony B Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 So you swell there coffers as well? The 200 watt inverter/power pack at £29.99 is a real Gucci bit of kit, works a laptop for about 8 hours and still have the PC battery. . The Solar trickle charger is also a useful bit of kit, I've got one on each of my vehicles. I should think teh snake scope camera has possobilitys as well. Quote
MiketheBike Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 yeh...I saw those solar panels....£5.99 each (12V/ 1W), the 2.4W one looks a better bet as it appears a bit more waterproof and still only £12.99. yes, we discussed the snake cam at work, it all got a bit silly and childish! Quote
john fox Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 simples - build a garage with a lockable door, no need for CCTV then :-D Quote
MiketheBike Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 It does make me wonder if I was doing a new build (house), what I would be tempted to build I would definately have a rather tall garage with a hoist! Quote
Tony B Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Definitley build a small house and LARGE garage! (I know I'm getting middle aged, I've got the Volvo, the pipe and even the flat cap somewhere, but, now I've got THE SHED!):shake: Quote
gritineye Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 It does make me wonder if I was doing a new build (house), what I would be tempted to build I would definately have a rather tall garage with a hoist! Just like this? UK planning would love it..........not! Quote
abn deuce Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 There's one simular to this on the other side of my town . no brick work but other wise the same . many of the homes in my area are built with two or three car garages but saddly they tend to have only 7 or 8 foot doors,not the 14 foot on that great RV garage .

Enigma Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 simples - build a garage with a lockable door, no need for CCTV then :-D Yeah right. Haven't got space to put the Dodge on our own terrain. Hell, I don't even own the place. Quote
snowtracdave Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Just like this? UK planning would love it..........not! That's not a house...........that's the Trumpton fire station . (With apologies to our continental & colonial brethren who won't have a clue what that means ):-D Quote
