     Any suggestion for catching an intruder on my boat when I'm not in the area?
I,ve purchase a camera, motion detector, remote camera, etc. VHS recorder may make too much noise when recording in closed envoirenment, any suggestions?

     Any suggestion for catching an intruder on my boat

I don't know much about boats. Do you have a cabin cruiser with a 12 volt system and invertion to 120 AC? Or do you have a larger boat (or house boat) with docked connections for AC, phone, etc?

Give us some more info. I would guess other boat owners on the forum have already solved similar problems.

Just off the top of my head... I would guess the blast of an alarm system siren might mask the sound of a VCR clicking on.

My suggestion would be to mount everything except the sensor remote from the boat.  If you have a source of power great, if not it could be a lot of work setting it up to run on batteries.  A digital video recorder would be quiet. 

If it were me I would send the digital video and audio from the camera to a safe location, you do not want that stolen.  Also if you have a old camera mount it where it will be found first.  Most would not go for a second camera. 

Have Fun
