    Hi,
    I hope I am posting in the right section.
    We have horrendous neighbours (they are owners of their house unfortunately, so are we) - they are really rough characters, originally from a very rough area of town. They are always making terrible noise, parties etc. morning noon and night, drumming all the time etc.
    We live in the semi-d attached to them and we have a small baby. They are making our lives a daily misery.
    We have been in to them about 10 times asking them to keep it down, especially at night time as the baby is being disturbed all the time and getting no sleep, not to mention the lack of sleep we are suffering from.
    As a result of us asking them to keep it down, they have now sought revenge on us.
    They throw ALL their waste into our garden, just dump their ashes from their fireplace over the wall onto our wheelie bins, throw all their food waste onto our garden, onto the roof of our shed etc. They are also trying to block our driveway on a daily basis. It's a nightmare and we are very upset. We are quiet people who just want to live our lives and be left in peace.
    I've priced CCTV systems but they are 2k in cost. We have a camcorder and a PC. We want to catch them red handed on tape and then go to the Gardai with the evidence. Is it possible to connect the camcorder to the PC and record that way some how? If i used a memory card it wouldn't last long enough to record and mightn't catch them in action. Does anyone know how to wire up the camcorder (its a Samsung) to a Dell PC and is there a programme that can record for a long period of time?
    Thanks very much.

    I Dont think so but you could use a cheap web cam and software like willing webcam or Active web cam to capture the images

    A basic PC CCTV system will only cost you about 100 euro using and ip camera

    or using a DV card and single camera about 120 euro and is fairly easy to setup

    not as expensive as your price quotes of €2000+ but it should do the job just as good
