What can be done about after hours trespassing and vandalism at a pool area? A guard is very expensive and a camera system can only give you video after the fact and usually, in my opinion, does not provide enough information to identify the perpetrators.

Has anyone used "Active Video Surveillance" like a Virtual Guard or Remote Guard?

Neighborhood watch?

A taller fence with a lock. Any solution is going to involve cost, inconvenience, or both. Weigh that against the cost of your liability if some of these outsiders get hurt or worse while in the pool area.

Camera systems deter folks from jumping the fence. Since we installed an NVR system, we have had very few "jumpers". Forget about the DVR systems and analog cameras. Check out NVR (Network Video Recorder) with digital IP cameras. The resolution is really super and you can set these up to send pics or videos to your smartphone when the camera senses motion. Then just call the police. Good luck.

We have a camera system that is monitored live by a security company. They have been instructed to call the police if anyone jumps the fence. Yes it is an expense. But so is repairing the pool and pool area due to vandalism.
