Sound activated surveillance for home?

and the jumping up on the couch when you're away problem...except that one sets off acoustic gbs.

Yep I know there are a bunch of things we can do to help get with the problem but since she has been abused it's going to take a lot of time and patience. The surveillance equipment will give me a better idea of what is working and what is not.

You can use a Glass Break Detector, and tie it into the DVRs Alarm Inputs, then depending on the DVR set it to do what you want.

Petsmart sells collars that will solve the barking problem........... :-))

Any sound sensor can be hooked up to our dvr then record video, sound, or take a snapshot.

yah one with sensitivity adjustment..a cheap non-descriminating one...mount it low or put it on a table...and put bells on the dogs collar ...that should work.

Some good ideas here. Thanks all for the advice.

You can get inexpensive small casette tape recorders that are voice activated (check walmart, kmart, radio shack, etc). You could turn it on when away and it would capture the barking if there is any.

Guys I ended up buying a cheap MP3 player with a record function and using that to record what the dog was getting up to during the day. The MP3 player records to a .wav file which I transferred to my laptop. I then used a free audio editing suite (AVS Audio Tools) to get a visual representation of the waveform which enabled me to zoom in on those times that there were sounds of interest.

I'm happy to report the dog hardly barks at all.

Thanks again,

Ash.

hey that was a good idea! now give spot a doggie treat
