I've been looking at Game Cam's of late, they have come a really long way. A friend of a friend got busted because 5-O set up in his grow, Camera's people and the such, and of course their are always the ripper's. I always worry about that, so I think about Game Cam's, but there so expensive, the remotely operated type, plus you used to have subscribe to a service to view the photos, well not any more.
The price all be it is still up their but way down from $1,000.00 a couple of years ago. Now we can buy the Scoutguard SG580OM from Trailcampro.com for about $350.00. What is nice about this Camera is you can use a cellular phone via T-Mobil to view the photos, you don't even have to enter the woods, or be alerted and enter the woods to confront the rippers.
My question is; If by chance 5-O found your camera could they find out who the photos are being viewed by?
They also make a Game Camera with a remote viewer, it is cheeper but you have to be pretty close (I believe) to the camera to review the photos, which won't work so good for the ripper thing unless your plants are still to young to harvest, than you will at least have a heads up. I also like this idea because you still don't really have to enter the grow site to see what is going on.
Hiding the camera from prying eyes is pretty easy if you take the time and do a good job. But you never know, and what is the use of a camera if theft, and being caught cannot be prevented. So any input would be greatly appreciated.

Oh man, just checked out the new remote controlled helicopter you can use on the i-phone touch. It has a camera in it, so maybe now I won't have to get out my truck to check on the girls. Just do a fly over quick zoom, snap some stills and go home to check for problems with the plants. Maybe someday we will have shoot outs with 5-O from our remotely controlled devices. No, I would never, never use violence in any way with regard to 5-O, rippers on the other hand? I can see in now, you get an E-Mail alert from you're remotely operated camera, someone or thing is in your grow. So you check your Lap Top, and lookie there a freakin' ground hog is sniffing around your plants getting ready to chow down. So you open up another window and boom you're remotely operated helicopter which you strategically placed in the forest next to a solar recharging station is standing by. A few clicks, and your up and running, now your chasing the ground hog away from Aruba on vacation. And all this can be yours for only $29.99 (made in china) Ah ya never know?

Somebody has to have an opinion on Gorilla growing security, and weather or not cameras will actually help keep us safe. Well, I am going to bed, stay safe out there guys and gals. Hey we need more Gals out there growing! Imagine, stumbling onto a grow in the haze of the morning when the due is just burning off the plants, you smell something funny but nice. Peeking around one of the nicest plants you have ever seen there is a girl in really short "daisy dukes" super tight t-shirt sticking to every curve of her body from all the humidity in the morning air, eemmm strawberries, must be her shampoo or something. She looks up and tosses her straw colored hair back and smiles, big bright smile with radiant blue eyes. In a sweet music like voice she says "Good morning, see anything you like". You wake up ten minuets later just to find 5-O was camped out in your grow and maced you at the same time they tazzed you which nocked you out, you were just dreaming, Damn. Hahahaha bla Hahaha, good night.

I agree, but if they were young and you had a camera set up one of two choices could be made. One you could wait until they get older and when the ripper rip call 5-O, or two you could move the plants, and maybe not the rippers look, car etc...
