MiketheBike Posted August 5, 2009 Share 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)?

Tony B Posted August 5, 2009 Share 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.

MiketheBike Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share 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!

MiketheBike Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted August 6, 2009 Share 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 .
