gaz1 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 had my supe about 18 months, i have always had nice powerfull cars, but for some reason the supe seems to get a little bad attention, my drive is on the side of my house, and i have had cigarette burns to the bodywork, and it has been keyed, as some of you know i am spending loads on her at the moment to get her just right, so i decided to put a new drive in the front of the house, a new alarm and immobilizer, and have just got cctv camera to a hard drive that will record for a month or so at a time, which emin is hopefully fitting soon, but my missus and some mates are saying i am going to far whats the opinon of you guys:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'd sooner have got a lock up or garage nearby if possible going off your previous. I dont think CCTV is that much of a deterrent to wankers in hoodys etc these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Get yourself a huge dog, and let him sleep in the car There is nothing worse than paranoia about your car to stop you relaxing on an evening so if the camera gives you peace of mind its a small price to pay.

BASHTHEBISHOP Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 grrr don't you hate w*nkers that do that - key your car etc. I dread to think what would happen if i caught anyone doing that to mine and i definitely think your doing the right thing putting alarm immobilsor etc on the car. I dont think the camera will stop the idiots vandalsing your car though. I would put up one of those security light things that lights up when anyone steps within range of it. I think it also can be setup to play a tone back in your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 mine got keyed about a month ago , do what you have to gaz, if its in front should be better than on the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 is the supe to long or to wide? it just fits length wise but but will not go through the garage door. well actually im not 100% sure on that but ive got the overfenders too. im looking at taking it off the road for the worst winter months so may well try to squeeze it in when it comes back from the bodyshop, even if it means taking the door and frame out to get it in there:D Im positive that i will have to get out through the boot aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thats not over the top IMO. Get a security light too that will light up the area so your CCTV images arent too dark and useless @ night time. High walls, railings and gates are also a good option, but it depends on how much it costs, and if it would make your house stick out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the houses.

China Man Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 the cctv is more of a deterrent. I have mine installed last year after my friends car got broken into at the end of my drive. I put it where everyone can see it and a sign outside my window in reflected yellow and white CCTV in operation in this area. China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
