Possum Highlights Alarm CCTV Importance For Managers, Monitoring Stations.

Possum Highlights Alarm CCTV Importance – In the middle of the night an adjacent CCTV camera – a Dahua solar bullet camera – proved its worth after an external alarm sensor detected multiple events.

We love external wireless sensors thanks to their ability to push a protected boundary closer to the fence, as well as to offer a layer that gives useful discernment of events that aren’t supported by video footage.

In this case, the system’s layering made it easy to establish that only part of the outer ring had been activated – sensors on verandahs, entry doors, as well as protecting internal sheds and the house remained unbroken.

But given there were multiple activations on both sides of the sensor, it remained possible an intruder had entered the property and perhaps turned back after initial activation.

Eye reflection gave the game away…

But hopping onto the remote camera system – an integrated Dahua solar panel camera conveniently located about 4 metres from the alarm sensor – multiple images showed the perpetrator was a possum moving along the branch of a nearby tree in an ambient temperature of about 6C.

That first activation at around 1.30pm was a magpie in flight…

Worth noting in closing that the IP55 AJAX Dual Curtain alarm sensor and the IP67 Dahua solar camera both came through the recent East Coast Low unscathed, despite easterly winds which blew 145mm of local rain directly onto them over a 48-hour period.

The Dahua camera, with its panel angled nor-west to catch the lowering Autumn sun, was almost completely exposed to weather from the east but took this punishment in its stride. Full credit to the Vodafone 4G LTE service for handling comms in these conditions.

Both external devices shrugged off horrid conditions…

The ability to confirm the cause of multiple alarm activations within a minute of initial activation highlighted the value of alarms and CCTV used in tandem.
