It’s so frustrating when these things happen. You almost want to shake the vandals and scream at them. Props to you for being so involved in your community.
Reminds me of spending time with my grandparents, they lived across a park in their small town, always helped my grandfather cut the grass and fix stuff in the park. They taught me the importance of being a part of the community you live in.
Sorry to hear about your problems. We had vandalism in our woodland last summer. Put trail cameras up and got some photos of the youngsters damaging our storage barns. A local identified them, parents were horrified and voluntarily paid for damage. Youngsters apologised in writing and seem to have learnt their lesson, no further problems. Police were involved but we didn't prosecute as we didn't want to blight young lives. Guess the thing is to catch the first lot then word gets out it's not a good idea to vandalise stuff as you will get caught. Your community looks awesome. Hope you get the problem sorted.
Great review. I used the same Reolink Camera three years ago for security at our new house build. It helped me monitor traffic at the construction site as well as use the time lapse feature to take daily photos of the overall build progress. I still have the camera and like that I can at any time go reactivate the Sim card and utilize it for monitoring something. I did that last summer when a family members home was being remodeled to help them know the progress and who is on site.
Thanks Neil and very sorry to hear of the vandalism. Love the ReoLink - I have two ARGUS PT's and they work great - the fail to load is your cell signal strength/bandwidth, or at least that is what I have determined it to be. Happens rarely. Good luck and hope things improve. Cheers!
Hope you don’t have anymore idiots ruining the park for your hometown Neil. Nice review of the camera. We have terrible cell phone coverage so I’m still looking for some good outdoor video cameras.
Great job with those newer cameras working like they do. All set up and ready to go with some long term benefits for the entire site area. Have to keep safety to the forefront not only when working but also for intruder safety also.
As a father who coaches on the fields that I grew up playing on, this hurts. A group of us get together every spring and get the fields ready for the season. It’s hands down my favorite volunteer day of the year. I hope that the vandalism is deterred, and more importantly, I hope the vandals one day understand what it is to love and care for something such as a community park. Fines and/or jail time will hurt, but feeling the love and sense of community in something like the ball park will mean their lesson was finally learned.
I have always enjoyed the videos of the park and the pride the community takes in it. I am sorry to hear that a few people damage property that others work hard and love to maintain for the tradition and the future of your community. The cameras seem to be a good option to helping find the few individuals causing the damage. Some sweat equity and community service to repair damage are in order. Good luck!!. Thanks for another great video.
Nice review of the cameras. Our little community had a rash of vandalism last year also. The local antique tractor club had a bunch of the hand washing stations stolen and damaged. A lot of people blamed a TikTok trend called devious licks. Hopefully that trend has gone away.
At the risk of being criticized, I will admit to being peripherally involved in vandalism… as a kid, 50 years ago. A friend invited me to hang out him and his friend one night. I didn’t realize their goal was to wander around destroying gardens! Once I saw what they were doing I asked why and they came up with something about the people being mean… I basically told him I wasn’t participating and sabotaged them by being loud. At the time I was just disgusted they were destroying peoples’ hard work. My feelings probably arose from helping my parents with our vegetable garden and realizing how much work it took and how badly my mom would feel if somebody did it to us. This article reminded me of this experience and caused me to consider why my friend would have done this. Boredom, need for validation in other’s eyes, powerlessness. Still, none of these reasons justify vandalism or any injurious act. Hoping you find the perpetrators Neil and can deal with them in such a way that they are turned away from a bad path.
Great Video Neil. I'm sorry that there are a few miscreants ruining your wonderful park. I wish you the best of luck in deterring or catching them. The camera system that you have set up looks really cool. I like how you made it more "mobile" so you can easily move it to other areas to cover. See you in the next video 👀👀👍👍👀👀
This was an uplifting story to know you solved an ongoing problem that doesn't need to happen in the first place and then you showed your drone and it was ohhhh, hope you got it out of trouble too.
Neil, living in a place where a pane of broken glass is a crime is great! The stress & anxiety are much lower than places where the crimes have to arise to violent acts to be considered ‘criminal’. It takes more than police to make that difference. The whole community has to have a common mindset. Faith, family, civic mindedness and learnings throughout life, are components of that. A stable population helps. But, most of all It helps when people know and trust each other! I too have been fortunate to live most of my life in those neighborhoods. One where misdeeds were all known… the occasional drunken joyride through the golf course… spray paint on the rock wall around the ball stadium… Halloween outhouse tipping… knocking over grave markers… stealing flags from the flagpole in the park… dumping trash… and the like. Everyone, young and old, knew about these things. Because of the connectedness of the community. And, by and large the miscreants who perpetrated these crime were well known. Seldom were they sent through the formal prosecution system…but all of them faced a justice system far more powerful. The town grapevine! Your standing in the town was wholly dependent on what flowed through the intricate web of the grapevine. Respect, inclusion, friendships, social interactions and often times income were dependent on whether the stuff about you, flowing through the grapevine, was good or bad. Because the news cycle of the grapevine was long. Because the tendrils of the grapevine were numerous and deep. Because the grapevine encompassed businesses, schools, busy bodies, social clubbers, churches and every family member within the community… it usually didn’t take long for the word to get out… sometimes “Who did it” was known before “What was done”! Did I mention party-line phones? Once the accusations came across the grapevine.. the investigation would start. Oftentimes, the guilty would confess at this point. But not always. Then the prosecution phase set in. (Especially, effective was a call to parents when a youth was involved.) Because the grapevine occasionally circulated tainted water, This phase was the weakest… but, there was almost always someone who would advise the accused of allegations. They then could choose to fight it or fess up. Most paid their restitution without sentence… and, most often in the form of service. But, there were those suspects that got off. Guilty or not? I never knew… but their spot on the town totem pole slid down… unless a more likely suspect emerged. That form of justice was quite effective at maintaining peace and honesty. No one wanted to walk around under the shade cast by the grapevine. I believe some communities call it ‘shunning’. Then, my world changed. I moved from a town where police presence consisted of the local deputy sheriff stopping by the bakery/donut shop once a day… to one with a full time police force… having enough personnel they had to give them titles and ranks! The grapevine gave way to the local newspaper, radio and tv. The only crimes reported were violent and often heinous. Traffic offenses were so numerous the police blotter occupied a full column of fine print in the Wednesday newspaper. And, locks, walls, fences, guard dogs, security services, barred windows, graffiti art, trash and litter were what I considered ubiquitous… but, the residents considered normal. And… in most peoples minds it was tolerable because, “That is just the way it was!” We chose to leave it after one year… came back to our small town full of busybodies and plugged back into the grapevine. That was almost 45 years ago. Things have gradually changed. Those webs of the grapevine are much less encompassing. The totem pole standings depend less and less on civil obedience and personal accountability. But, we still have community bonds. Our rural area has an occasional activity… weiner roast, fireworks display, phone list notifications, meeting at the corner post… we all know each other and we know what’s going on. We have been looking for a security system that will do just like that one. Four neighbors have different systems. None of them have proven to be effective. I’m going to peruse that one… hopefully it is the one we’ve been looking for! Thanks Neil… you may have helped solve a problem that is 45 years in the making!
When I was younger I feared my parents and my Grandfather Now I'm thankful, it kept me out of trouble. I also respect my neighbors. I also remember we had a party line until my early teens lol.
@@michaelmaker8169 yep… there was a healthy respect for our elders… I used to listen to the two older ladies talking about ‘their stories’. As soon as their last soap opera finished… they held up the line for an hour discussing them. Everyone knew that the party line was busy from 2pm-3pm. Don’t call in or pickup the phone… because there was nothing on Earth more important than analyzing the days events!
@@sassafrasvalley1939 rofl. It was us on the line most of the time. I only remember once picking up the line and they were on it... you just hung it back up. Lol Ah the good o'l days.
Such a great perspective and poignant comment sir! We should be thankful that this is what we get worried about. I'm glad to be forced to think about that in light of recent events abroad as well. Our system of justice has worked much in the same way for a good long while, but nowadays it seems that it isn't as effective as more and more youth are from out of town or family units have grown apart, etc. There used to be a group of kids that hung out in the park almost daily and I would catch them on my previous security cameras. All of the time. I made an effort to get on there and talk to them and empower them to take ownership of the park and let me know if they ever saw any trouble down there. That effort of just reaching out did wonders for our situation and I think just having kids know that they can take pride in something that they don't necessarily own was a big step in keeping vandalism at bay during that time period. They have since grown up and moved on in the last five or six years and don't hang out down there anymore so we lost our little security network. Hopefully these cameras can do the trick, especially if we share some resulting images on local social media platforms to kind of get the word out that there's eyes in the sky. And would you believe that I am just barely old enough to remember party lines! We shared a phone line with my grandparents to the west of us and our neighbor to the east of us. I can remember several occasions where my parents would answer the phone knowing by the ring that it was intended for my grandparents. But we could see that they are outside and not able to answer, so we would answer ask the person to hold on and my mom would whistle as loud as she could to get my grandparents attention and they would know to go in and pick up the phone! Ha! I hadn't thought about that in a while. By the time I was in high school they had done away with it, so all of my adolescent conversations were safe :) Thanks for offering up what is important to be thankful for. I don't wish to experiment with anything that has a greater risk than Harlan Park! I hope those cameras can work out for you. From what I found online, most people are happy with them. Much of the performance is based on how good the cell coverage is. Thanks Dave
@@digdrivediy yup… I’ve had the advantage of living the simple life. I can’t fathom what those who’ve only know city life go through. And, from what I’ve seen of it… my curiosity is at bay. Thanks
Sorry this happened to your community. Hope the parents take care of it like they did in my day. When you put the camera up seemed like it could go higher so it doesn't get vandalized...maybe? Be praying for you.
Sorry your having that happen .illegal dumping is bad enough. Fire thing not good at all...We have the illegal dumping thing in our town too...I don't understand why people do these things..Good luck thanks for the video Neil ..
I’ve used reolink for going on 6 years now. Absolutely love the cameras and their system. Even put some up at the new house already. Very sorry you’re stuck dealing with vandals, I hope the cameras put an end to the issues.
Glad to hear a fellow Hoosier say they've been working well for you for so long! I wasn't familiar with them until this but was pleasantly surprised. Hope you're getting all settled in to the new place!
Hey Neil, Sorry to hear your community has to deal with vandalism. I have the same camera and sim card setup. I think its really great, although I did have some of the same issues you were having. The app has trouble loading sometimes and I've had several instances where it didn't even go off when I drove in front of it. I have both the Reolink go and Reolink go PT. I would say its one of the better security system cameras on the market and would recommend the Reolink go. It's cheaper and perfect if you don't need to move the camera remotely. Also, the image quality drastically improves at night if the area is well lit.
Neil, I am grateful that you received the hardware. I understand operating on a shoestring budget. I have installed several systems at churches and small businesses that I wanted to help solve a problem at minimal cost. I have used Nelly's Security for my source. Price is good, the also have a "garage sale," and their video doorbell does not require a monthly fee. Just something else for you to explore. I don't work for them, and I volunteer my time, so I am not in the business. I just understand the fiscal limitations, and wanted to share my experience.
Hello Koch Family . I don't know if it would give a good enough picture or if it is too far away but otherwise I would put the camera on the water tower. than you have a nice wide field overview , then you should only test whether your image is still good enough when you zoom in on a face or license plate. maybe some nice looking steel shutters/covers as used to be common on farms over the windows so they can't reach the glass to throw it in. thanks for the video Neil . Sincerely Hollandduck from the Netherlands
Great video! I totally understand the annoyance of "punks" fooling around. My grandfathers runs a baseball field all by himself. He's 82 now been doing it since 2003. Weve dealt with this forever. Its just bored people that have got nothing better to do. Good luck great video!
Sorry to hear about the senseless acts of vandalism and arson in your town park. Hopefully, you can get a good start on some equipment and gear replacements before your activities start up for the summer. If you will post the necessary information, I will gladly donate to help your park get going again. Thanks for the information on the cameras and sim cards. I have trespassers on the hunting ground that these cameras may be helpful to find out who they are. They know where my trailcams are, so they just side step them out of range. Had to secure them with a metal box, cable lock, and box lock as I had one stolen. I wonder how well the signal works out in the woods for the cameras you are using? My phone does fine, so I assume these would probably work, too.
I have one of these cameras for my lake house. The connection issue is I solved by using T-Mobile service. This was shared by a you tuber about a year ago. Good luck.
Good video sorry to hear about y’all issues if you get them to buy the equipment I would definitely express to them to keep subject very hush hush it may work
I grew up in a small town, for years there wasn't anything to do for fun so people would do stupid things instead such as vandalism. Eventually a bowling alley / movie theatre came in and overnight that was where the teenagers wanted to spend their time. Obviously it isn't easy but kids are dumb, and pride in a town takes years to grow. Best thing you can do in the meantime is give them something to do.
Vandalism is such a disturbing thing! I’ve found that a lot of our younger generation has not learned to respect things. You have know what it’s like to work hard and volunteer time before you can fully respect it. That is such a beautiful park and a great place for the community. I sure hope these evil events are over or if they come back you’ll catch them! Take care buddy!
I might suggest that if you do catch a young vandal in the act, the best course of action would be to put them to work repairing and maintaining the park. May give them some respect for those volunteers who do the maintenance and a little perspective. Good luck
Great video Neil hopefully the camera or maybe the vandals will see the video and wise up cause that’s beyond ridiculous what they did lucky nobody got hurt in the fire
Great video! Thank you for the time and effort put in to making a real-world review. This sounds like it could be a perfect solution for those who would like a security camera, but have slow rural internet. Thanks for always putting out quality content! Love your videos and will be back for the next one!
Ha! *Sometimes works in Harlan:). Actually Verizon seems pretty good most of the time in Harlan. I get lots of State line flip flopping of service around home though when coming to and from.
Sorry to hear about vandalism, it's a shame that they would do such things. I've watched a couple other RUclips videos about this system. They have had good reviews on how they work. Enjoyed watching video. Take care and be safe.
Sorry to hear about the vandalism; I use the Reolink cameras at our Lake House in VT. Ive got Wifi there using our local telephone providers DSL Internet service, so don't need the SIM cards for cellular data. They work great for us too!! The two cameras outside use their solar panel as well because I don't have a power source out there. The onboard battery lasts about two+ months without the solar, which doesn't't cut it over the winter when no one is there to recharge.
That is really sad when vandalism happens to an area like the community park. Would you consider a go fund me sight so people might help out with at least some of the cost of replacement of lost articles? I hope you can get Aline on who is responsible for such destructive actions. Stay the course sir, it will work itself out in the long run. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Terry. We have considered GoFundMe if we aren't able to raise enough locally. We are in the process now if figuring out how much money we're going to need. Thanks for the support sir!
sorry to hear this.i think your on to something with those cameras .i hope you get the i think kids that are doing this and maybe make them take care of the park all summer and see what it takes .this might teach them a lesson.keep us posted .
Hopefully you can stop the vandalism. I agree that the goal is to change the behavior. Wander if time served doing community service at the park would help that if you catch the hooligans?
It sounds like you guys have a good turnout for people volunteering at your complex. We had a heck of a time staffing Tournaments even let alone just simple ball field maintenance. My dad was inducted into Minnesotas Sport Federations Softball Hall of Fame for his years of volunteerism before he passed away. He used to get so mad at the geese for pooping everywhere I can imagine how you guys feel about vandals. Good luck to you all. And glad I'm not the only one who ends up in trees.
Nothing bugs me any worse than some knucklehead tearing stuff up that someone else worked so hard to build or make look nice. I hope the cameras change the vandal's behavior but, if not, I hope they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Nice video Neil.
Sadly this is a problem that is probably world wide. We have the same types of idiots/morons here in the UK. Our local playground and sports field suffers the same kinds of vandalism form the same kinds of idiots. If it is any comfort to you Neil, you are not alone and they aren't targeting just you. All the best to you and the friends of the park.
Live about a hour and half south of you in a small town.. we've had small issues with vandalism the last few years at our ballpark. Disheartening when it happens. Hopefully the cameras will deter any further issues.
This was a sad video. I live in a similar small town. So small in fact when I was growing up alot of people didn't even take their keys out of their cars. Fast forward to today, I had to install cameras. I bought some from Walmart. They aren't as fancy as yours. And when there's an alert it just captures a still. But it did help catch someone that stole a bunch of my tools, they took my locked tool box and all out of my pickup. Sad world we're living in. But I guess we got to focus on the positive things. Maybe with all your viewers , you should start a funder raiser to replace your shed and equip. Thanks for sharing Neil.
A tire in the dumpster? Isn't that a no no? We can't do that here in Pa. I would suggest putting out a news release to your local media about the installation of the cameras. Get the word out and hopefully the problems stop
It's unfortunate that a community gathering spot like that has issues. The sad part is that it's only getting worse everyday across the country. I recently installed cameras for a local church for vandal issues. The last place you would think there would be an issue.
That is such a shame. I never understood why kids take things so far. Even when I was a kid, I made sure to keep my distance from the others that would do things like that. I guess my parents did a good job at teaching me to respect others' property or I was just scared what they would do to me if I got caught doing something like that lol
Hey buddy I’ve been watching your videos for a long time I’m a lot like you with the John Deere thing anyways I’ve posted a couple comments here and there this is the first video that I saw that you guys really had some security concerns I’ve been in security for over 35 years I have many people that contact me for security solutions and I’m willing to offer you guys a rocksolid security solution for your park the thing that you came up with is a pretty good idea but I’m telling you I am installing a camera system at a park right now with no monthly fees the initial cost upfront is all you have to pay you on it no monthly fees
@@digdrivediy you can buy a camera system from Costco it’s called Lorex eight camera system is about $800 hardwire system we need to have it installed I install it for my customers are usually charge about $600 to install it depending on what is happening cameras are hardwired connected to electric there’s a DVR it records 24 hours a day there’s even security that comes with it I live in Illinois west suburbs also the DVR records in 1080 P high definition with night vision cameras if you don’t know much about this camera system Lorex is made by FLAR CCTV A well-known company In the CCTV world I might even work something out where I wouldn’t charge you anything so maybe just the cost of the camera system that you could buy locally at Costco I really don’t expect anything to come up that I don’t expect anything for it just trying to help out a local John Deere Guy
The sad thing is you probably know the arsonist/vandal, or at least know their family. As a 22+ year LEO, that has usually turned out to be the case in most arsons I’ve dealt with. That and many have been guys that have been rejected from vol fire companies for disciplinary/legal reasons.
I think you're likely right. My hopes is that someone who watched this knows who may be a suspect and at least share some thoughts with them about taking care of their local park. Wishful thinking at least.
@@digdrivediy I hope so Neil. You are good man for taking such an interest in your community. We need more dudes like you out there. Best to the family. Matt
Neil I know what you are saying I have sepent 30 + years remodeling and resideing my old house. It has been resided for about 8 years now and about 3 months ago someone decided they thought my garage would look better with a strip of white spray paint down the side. So my wife and I went out and purchased the Ring system and put up 2 door bells and a camara with 3 motion lights. Any way the system you have installed sounds like the way our Ring system is working. The camara does not always connect with WIFI or Cellular, the door bells work ok. So in a nut shell it sounds like maybe all montering systems work about the same? I hope the problem you are hving goes away Good Luck!
Man, that stinks for you Ty. Yeah, it seems like all these systems have their quirks. Let's hope as the technology improves we will start to need it less :). Thanks for watching and best of luck with yours too.
Thanks for the review. It seems perfect for your application. Is there anywhere we can donate to help replace all the baseball equipment that got destroyed? Both of my kids play in a small community league like Harlan and I know we would be in trouble if we lost all of the equipment. I would be happy to donate to help replace some of the equipment.
You're very kind Chris. I really appreciate the sentiment. Our board is in the process of figuring out what to do or if we will need further outreach with fundraising efforts. If we find we need to do some type of crowd source fundraising I will share a link. Hopefully we can raise enough locally to cover our needs. We are trying to decide on another temporary shed or adding on to the main building. Thanks so much my friend.
@@digdrivediy As an outsider I think adding on to the main building would be best. Adding another shed would just be a temporary repair, as it will happen again. Good luck.🙏😷⚾⚾
First I'd like to ask where are these parents??!!.. sad that in every culture there is the bad, good, n ugly. As I've explained to my kids..its like a family living in a home..why would you want someone lazy, destructive, arrogant, someone who thinks is owed too living in your home. My kids think I'm racist towards my own culture (Mexican), but as I explained every culture has there bad n good n ugly. You want a good tenant one go want to better themselves by act instead of as a resume. I come from a family with work hard n values, you prove yourself by works n love. As parents, where did we become absent to giving time, rules, n knowing where are kids are?...as I tell my friends n my family, ppl that suffered greatly, ones who grew up very poor and have learned from it, become to love and become to be teachers. Ones who have not, are destructive, n complainers and self absorbed as well as takers. Sad that parents have become self absorbed or lazy to see what kids are doing or give rules n disapline.
We did install some cameras. The cameras work but the amount of feedback they provide to whomever is monitoring them is overwhelming. They go off very often since it is a public place, so we have gotten to the point where we ignore them and hope that if anything happens like this again then hopefully we will have captured it. So far the vandalism has been lowkey since the making of this video.
@@digdrivediy Shame....would have been good to see some bare handed push mower mowing, dethatching, raking, seeding and watering for a start.....then scraping, sanding, and painting(inside and out) of all the buildings...don't forget hand washing all the gravel on the parking lots and playing surfaces followed by respreading. Sounds about right as repayment to the community.
Thanks a lot Bryce. We are going to try some fundraising efforts and maybe a picture in the paper would help drive some donations. I'll let you know what we decide for sure.
Well, regular internet service here is like $75 a month so that would be more expensive than the $600 for the SIM cards though??? We have to cover 10+ acres so I don't know how we would do it otherwise?
@@digdrivediyI use 1 internet source distributed by Mikrotik router, all cameras are connected with 1 LAN cable which also powers them. Some of them can give power to another one. Hmmm but I guess here you wanted to (had to) avoid wires, you would need power sources. So your solution might be better here. Otherwise there could be 1-2 outdoor access point (also Mikrotik devices) and wifi antenas pointed there. But that requires power for each camera+antena. I'm from Europe - you have high internet prices over there in USA! :O Amazing channel, I'm watching video after video! :) I have forests in Poland :) Thank you!
I liked your commitment but don't like that you have to do it. I am a member of a trash-picking group right now we are 135 people of all ages from 4 years to people walking behind a stroller we also want to change the behavior.
Lol I dont know I feel like someone can steal that camera he didnt mount it that high . You only need a ski mask and cordless screw gun remove that camera . I can't believe he mount so low
It’s hard to imagine but it’s also likely that it isn’t youth, but rather adults being morons. I can’t stand when ATV riders ruin private or public property and give us good ATV riders a bad image.

It’s so frustrating when these things happen. You almost want to shake the vandals and scream at them. Props to you for being so involved in your community.
Reminds me of spending time with my grandparents, they lived across a park in their small town, always helped my grandfather cut the grass and fix stuff in the park. They taught me the importance of being a part of the community you live in.
Great work Neil
You have a lot of home town pride and want others to enjoy its purpose
Props to you for being so invested in your community. Fantastic! The drone hitting the tree at the end was priceless. 😂
Sorry to hear about your problems. We had vandalism in our woodland last summer. Put trail cameras up and got some photos of the youngsters damaging our storage barns. A local identified them, parents were horrified and voluntarily paid for damage. Youngsters apologised in writing and seem to have learnt their lesson, no further problems. Police were involved but we didn't prosecute as we didn't want to blight young lives. Guess the thing is to catch the first lot then word gets out it's not a good idea to vandalise stuff as you will get caught. Your community looks awesome. Hope you get the problem sorted.
That is a great outcome for your trouble. I hope ours can be the same!
Great review. I used the same Reolink Camera three years ago for security at our new house build. It helped me monitor traffic at the construction site as well as use the time lapse feature to take daily photos of the overall build progress. I still have the camera and like that I can at any time go reactivate the Sim card and utilize it for monitoring something. I did that last summer when a family members home was being remodeled to help them know the progress and who is on site.
Thanks Neil and very sorry to hear of the vandalism. Love the ReoLink - I have two ARGUS PT's and they work great - the fail to load is your cell signal strength/bandwidth, or at least that is what I have determined it to be. Happens rarely. Good luck and hope things improve. Cheers!
Thanks so much Gord! Things have been better now for a bit. The cameras are hopefully a deterrent.
Hope you don’t have anymore idiots ruining the park for your hometown Neil. Nice review of the camera. We have terrible cell phone coverage so I’m still looking for some good outdoor video cameras.
Sorry for the damage at your park. Thanks for the great info on drones and cameras.
Thanks Lee. Hope it helps in some way.
Great job with those newer cameras working like they do. All set up and ready to go with some long term benefits for the entire site area. Have to keep safety to the forefront not only when working but also for intruder safety also.
As a father who coaches on the fields that I grew up playing on, this hurts. A group of us get together every spring and get the fields ready for the season. It’s hands down my favorite volunteer day of the year. I hope that the vandalism is deterred, and more importantly, I hope the vandals one day understand what it is to love and care for something such as a community park. Fines and/or jail time will hurt, but feeling the love and sense of community in something like the ball park will mean their lesson was finally learned.
I have always enjoyed the videos of the park and the pride the community takes in it. I am sorry to hear that a few people damage property that others work hard and love to maintain for the tradition and the future of your community. The cameras seem to be a good option to helping find the few individuals causing the damage. Some sweat equity and community service to repair damage are in order. Good luck!!. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks as always Gordon!
Neil , That incident is terrible , the world is going crazy. Hope who ever doesn't brake the camera & solar hook up. Great Job though.
Sorry that your community is facing these issues. Hang in there.
Thanks for sharing, hope things get better for the park, good for you being able to help it get better
Nice review of the cameras. Our little community had a rash of vandalism last year also. The local antique tractor club had a bunch of the hand washing stations stolen and damaged. A lot of people blamed a TikTok trend called devious licks. Hopefully that trend has gone away.
That stinks Nathan. Hopefully the TikTok stuff goes by the wayside.
At the risk of being criticized, I will admit to being peripherally involved in vandalism… as a kid, 50 years ago. A friend invited me to hang out him and his friend one night. I didn’t realize their goal was to wander around destroying gardens! Once I saw what they were doing I asked why and they came up with something about the people being mean…
I basically told him I wasn’t participating and sabotaged them by being loud.
At the time I was just disgusted they were destroying peoples’ hard work. My feelings probably arose from helping my parents with our vegetable garden and realizing how much work it took and how badly my mom would feel if somebody did it to us.
This article reminded me of this experience and caused me to consider why my friend would have done this. Boredom, need for validation in other’s eyes, powerlessness. Still, none of these reasons justify vandalism or any injurious act.
Hoping you find the perpetrators Neil and can deal with them in such a way that they are turned away from a bad path.
That seems like a great solution for many applications. Really like the idea of a time lapse feature too. Another great production Neil!
Thanks!
It’s sad to see that type of behavior. I see similar things in my community as well. I hope the cameras work to deter future vandalism and dumping.
Great Video Neil. I'm sorry that there are a few miscreants ruining your wonderful park. I wish you the best of luck in deterring or catching them. The camera system that you have set up looks really cool. I like how you made it more "mobile" so you can easily move it to other areas to cover. See you in the next video 👀👀👍👍👀👀
Thanks Susan!
This was an uplifting story to know you solved an ongoing problem that doesn't need to happen in the first place and then you showed your drone and it was ohhhh, hope you got it out of trouble too.
So sorry to hear about all the vandalism. God knows and He is always watching.
Thanks for the video, as the mayor of my small town, this video hits home.
Thanks for the review Niel ! I’m going to check them out. Sorry about your situation with the vandalism 🥴. Take care my friend
Neil, living in a place where a pane of broken glass is a crime is great! The stress & anxiety are much lower than places where the crimes have to arise to violent acts to be considered ‘criminal’.
It takes more than police to make that difference. The whole community has to have a common mindset. Faith, family, civic mindedness and learnings throughout life, are components of that. A stable population helps. But, most of all It helps when people know and trust each other!
I too have been fortunate to live most of my life in those neighborhoods. One where misdeeds were all known… the occasional drunken joyride through the golf course… spray paint on the rock wall around the ball stadium… Halloween outhouse tipping… knocking over grave markers… stealing flags from the flagpole in the park… dumping trash… and the like. Everyone, young and old, knew about these things. Because of the connectedness of the community.
And, by and large the miscreants who perpetrated these crime were well known. Seldom were they sent through the formal prosecution system…but all of them faced a justice system far more powerful. The town grapevine! Your standing in the town was wholly dependent on what flowed through the intricate web of the grapevine. Respect, inclusion, friendships, social interactions and often times income were dependent on whether the stuff about you, flowing through the grapevine, was good or bad.
Because the news cycle of the grapevine was long. Because the tendrils of the grapevine were numerous and deep. Because the grapevine encompassed businesses, schools, busy bodies, social clubbers, churches and every family member within the community… it usually didn’t take long for the word to get out… sometimes “Who did it” was known before “What was done”!
Did I mention party-line phones?
Once the accusations came across the grapevine.. the investigation would start. Oftentimes, the guilty would confess at this point. But not always. Then the prosecution phase set in. (Especially, effective was a call to parents when a youth was involved.)
Because the grapevine occasionally circulated tainted water, This phase was the weakest… but, there was almost always someone who would advise the accused of allegations. They then could choose to fight it or fess up.
Most paid their restitution without sentence… and, most often in the form of service. But, there were those suspects that got off. Guilty or not? I never knew… but their spot on the town totem pole slid down… unless a more likely suspect emerged.
That form of justice was quite effective at maintaining peace and honesty. No one wanted to walk around under the shade cast by the grapevine. I believe some communities call it ‘shunning’.
Then, my world changed. I moved from a town where police presence consisted of the local deputy sheriff stopping by the bakery/donut shop once a day… to one with a full time police force… having enough personnel they had to give them titles and ranks!
The grapevine gave way to the local newspaper, radio and tv. The only crimes reported were violent and often heinous. Traffic offenses were so numerous the police blotter occupied a full column of fine print in the Wednesday newspaper. And, locks, walls, fences, guard dogs, security services, barred windows, graffiti art, trash and litter were what I considered ubiquitous… but, the residents considered normal. And… in most peoples minds it was tolerable because, “That is just the way it was!”
We chose to leave it after one year… came back to our small town full of busybodies and plugged back into the grapevine.
That was almost 45 years ago. Things have gradually changed. Those webs of the grapevine are much less encompassing. The totem pole standings depend less and less on civil obedience and personal accountability.
But, we still have community bonds. Our rural area has an occasional activity… weiner roast, fireworks display, phone list notifications, meeting at the corner post… we all know each other and we know what’s going on.
We have been looking for a security system that will do just like that one. Four neighbors have different systems. None of them have proven to be effective.
I’m going to peruse that one… hopefully it is the one we’ve been looking for! Thanks Neil… you may have helped solve a problem that is 45 years in the making!
When I was younger I feared my parents and my Grandfather
Now I'm thankful, it kept me out of trouble. I also respect my neighbors.
I also remember we had a party line until my early teens lol.
@@michaelmaker8169 yep… there was a healthy respect for our elders…
I used to listen to the two older ladies talking about ‘their stories’. As soon as their last soap opera finished… they held up the line for an hour discussing them. Everyone knew that the party line was busy from 2pm-3pm. Don’t call in or pickup the phone… because there was nothing on Earth more important than analyzing the days events!
@@sassafrasvalley1939 rofl.
It was us on the line most of the time. I only remember once picking up the line and they were on it... you just hung it back up. Lol
Ah the good o'l days.
Such a great perspective and poignant comment sir! We should be thankful that this is what we get worried about. I'm glad to be forced to think about that in light of recent events abroad as well.
Our system of justice has worked much in the same way for a good long while, but nowadays it seems that it isn't as effective as more and more youth are from out of town or family units have grown apart, etc.
There used to be a group of kids that hung out in the park almost daily and I would catch them on my previous security cameras. All of the time. I made an effort to get on there and talk to them and empower them to take ownership of the park and let me know if they ever saw any trouble down there. That effort of just reaching out did wonders for our situation and I think just having kids know that they can take pride in something that they don't necessarily own was a big step in keeping vandalism at bay during that time period.
They have since grown up and moved on in the last five or six years and don't hang out down there anymore so we lost our little security network. Hopefully these cameras can do the trick, especially if we share some resulting images on local social media platforms to kind of get the word out that there's eyes in the sky.
And would you believe that I am just barely old enough to remember party lines! We shared a phone line with my grandparents to the west of us and our neighbor to the east of us. I can remember several occasions where my parents would answer the phone knowing by the ring that it was intended for my grandparents. But we could see that they are outside and not able to answer, so we would answer ask the person to hold on and my mom would whistle as loud as she could to get my grandparents attention and they would know to go in and pick up the phone!
Ha! I hadn't thought about that in a while. By the time I was in high school they had done away with it, so all of my adolescent conversations were safe :)
Thanks for offering up what is important to be thankful for. I don't wish to experiment with anything that has a greater risk than Harlan Park!
I hope those cameras can work out for you. From what I found online, most people are happy with them. Much of the performance is based on how good the cell coverage is.
Thanks Dave
@@digdrivediy yup… I’ve had the advantage of living the simple life. I can’t fathom what those who’ve only know city life go through. And, from what I’ve seen of it… my curiosity is at bay.
Thanks
Sorry this happened to your community. Hope the parents take care of it like they did in my day.
When you put the camera up seemed like it could go higher so it doesn't get vandalized...maybe?
Be praying for you.
Most definitely will go higher with my permanent install. Good thinking!
Sorry your having that happen .illegal dumping is bad enough. Fire thing not good at all...We have the illegal dumping thing in our town too...I don't understand why people do these things..Good luck thanks for the video Neil ..
Thanks. I wish this wasn't a thing for small towns.
I’ve used reolink for going on 6 years now. Absolutely love the cameras and their system. Even put some up at the new house already.
Very sorry you’re stuck dealing with vandals, I hope the cameras put an end to the issues.
Glad to hear a fellow Hoosier say they've been working well for you for so long! I wasn't familiar with them until this but was pleasantly surprised. Hope you're getting all settled in to the new place!
@@digdrivediy won’t be an official resident until about September or so. However we officially own property in the Hoosier state 🥳
Hey Neil, Sorry to hear your community has to deal with vandalism. I have the same camera and sim card setup. I think its really great, although I did have some of the same issues you were having. The app has trouble loading sometimes and I've had several instances where it didn't even go off when I drove in front of it. I have both the Reolink go and Reolink go PT. I would say its one of the better security system cameras on the market and would recommend the Reolink go. It's cheaper and perfect if you don't need to move the camera remotely. Also, the image quality drastically improves at night if the area is well lit.
Great to know.
I love my reolink cameras started with 2 and now have over 30 at 3 locations and the solar panels perform perfectly in all 4 seasons
Whoa! That's great to hear Tyson!
The end of the video reminds me of a Captain Kleeman video
Haha! At least I can still find mine when I lose them :)
Neil, I am grateful that you received the hardware. I understand operating on a shoestring budget. I have installed several systems at churches and small businesses that I wanted to help solve a problem at minimal cost. I have used Nelly's Security for my source. Price is good, the also have a "garage sale," and their video doorbell does not require a monthly fee. Just something else for you to explore. I don't work for them, and I volunteer my time, so I am not in the business. I just understand the fiscal limitations, and wanted to share my experience.
That is sad .but the best way to deal with it
Sorry for your loss.
Hello Koch Family .
I don't know if it would give a good enough picture or if it is too far away but otherwise I would put the camera on the water tower.
than you have a nice wide field overview , then you should only test whether your image is still good enough when you zoom in on a face or license plate.
maybe some nice looking steel shutters/covers as used to be common on farms over the windows so they can't reach the glass to throw it in.
thanks for the video Neil . Sincerely Hollandduck from the Netherlands
I thought about one in the water tower. That would be cool! Thank you sir!
We used a trail camera and got good pictures of the atv that was in our woods doing damage
Great video! I totally understand the annoyance of "punks" fooling around. My grandfathers runs a baseball field all by himself. He's 82 now been doing it since 2003. Weve dealt with this forever. Its just bored people that have got nothing better to do. Good luck great video!
Yep
Sorry to hear about the senseless acts of vandalism and arson in your town park. Hopefully, you can get a good start on some equipment and gear replacements before your activities start up for the summer.
If you will post the necessary information, I will gladly donate to help your park get going again.
Thanks for the information on the cameras and sim cards. I have trespassers on the hunting ground that these cameras may be helpful to find out who they are. They know where my trailcams are, so they just side step them out of range. Had to secure them with a metal box, cable lock, and box lock as I had one stolen.
I wonder how well the signal works out in the woods for the cameras you are using? My phone does fine, so I assume these would probably work, too.
Thanks so much. We are going to attempt a fundraiser pretty soon. I would think these would work well in the woods too.
I have one of these cameras for my lake house. The connection issue is I solved by using T-Mobile service. This was shared by a you tuber about a year ago. Good luck.
Good video sorry to hear about y’all issues if you get them to buy the equipment I would definitely express to them to keep subject very hush hush it may work
Good luck Neil hope all stay peaceful
Thanks Derek
Sad that you have to do this at all. Great mowing crew you have btw!
They are great!
I grew up in a small town, for years there wasn't anything to do for fun so people would do stupid things instead such as vandalism. Eventually a bowling alley / movie theatre came in and overnight that was where the teenagers wanted to spend their time. Obviously it isn't easy but kids are dumb, and pride in a town takes years to grow. Best thing you can do in the meantime is give them something to do.
Vandalism is such a disturbing thing! I’ve found that a lot of our younger generation has not learned to respect things. You have know what it’s like to work hard and volunteer time before you can fully respect it. That is such a beautiful park and a great place for the community. I sure hope these evil events are over or if they come back you’ll catch them! Take care buddy!
Thanks a lot Ben. You're right in that it's even more frustrating when you've got time invested in something. Thanks for watching buddy.
I might suggest that if you do catch a young vandal in the act, the best course of action would be to put them to work repairing and maintaining the park. May give them some respect for those volunteers who do the maintenance and a little perspective. Good luck
Great video Neil hopefully the camera or maybe the vandals will see the video and wise up cause that’s beyond ridiculous what they did lucky nobody got hurt in the fire
Great video! Thank you for the time and effort put in to making a real-world review. This sounds like it could be a perfect solution for those who would like a security camera, but have slow rural internet. Thanks for always putting out quality content! Love your videos and will be back for the next one!
Thank you much!
Thanks Neil for being one of the few who pitch in.
Also, your phone works in Harlan? That's where my calls drop.
Ha! *Sometimes works in Harlan:). Actually Verizon seems pretty good most of the time in Harlan. I get lots of State line flip flopping of service around home though when coming to and from.
Sorry to hear about vandalism, it's a shame that they would do such things. I've watched a couple other RUclips videos about this system. They have had good reviews on how they work.
Enjoyed watching video. Take care and be safe.
Thanks Kevin. I was actually surprised at how well it has been working.
Good information Neil, looking into the camera for use at the Cay. Hope you got your drone out safely. 🏝👍🚜🎥
Sorry to hear about the vandalism; I use the Reolink cameras at our Lake House in VT. Ive got Wifi there using our local telephone providers DSL Internet service, so don't need the SIM cards for cellular data. They work great for us too!! The two cameras outside use their solar panel as well because I don't have a power source out there. The onboard battery lasts about two+ months without the solar, which doesn't't cut it over the winter when no one is there to recharge.
I'm glad to hear they work well for you. Thanks!
We use these cameras for around our ranch and really like the app for us Verision works best for the camera.
That is really sad when vandalism happens to an area like the community park. Would you consider a go fund me sight so people might help out with at least some of the cost of replacement of lost articles? I hope you can get Aline on who is responsible for such destructive actions. Stay the course sir, it will work itself out in the long run. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Terry. We have considered GoFundMe if we aren't able to raise enough locally. We are in the process now if figuring out how much money we're going to need. Thanks for the support sir!
sorry to hear this.i think your on to something with those cameras .i hope you get the i think kids that are doing this and maybe make them take care of the park all summer and see what it takes .this might teach them a lesson.keep us posted .
Thanks! Would love to put these kids to work helping with groundskeeping this year.
A small group of addicts stripped 80% of the fencing around the ball fields, and tennis courts in my city ...even the net posts...just for the scrap.
Oh man. That's awful 😞
Hopefully you can stop the vandalism. I agree that the goal is to change the behavior. Wander if time served doing community service at the park would help that if you catch the hooligans?
I certainly think that could go a long ways to making us all feel better!
Excellent review of the system
Thanks so much Hank!
It sounds like you guys have a good turnout for people volunteering at your complex. We had a heck of a time staffing Tournaments even let alone just simple ball field maintenance. My dad was inducted into Minnesotas Sport Federations Softball Hall of Fame for his years of volunteerism before he passed away. He used to get so mad at the geese for pooping everywhere I can imagine how you guys feel about vandals. Good luck to you all. And glad I'm not the only one who ends up in trees.
That's awesome about your Dad! We have a pretty great crew of volunteers.
Nothing bugs me any worse than some knucklehead tearing stuff up that someone else worked so hard to build or make look nice. I hope the cameras change the vandal's behavior but, if not, I hope they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Nice video Neil.
We're hoping so too. Thanks BD!
Andrew Kelley from Kelley's Country Life on RUclips used same camera on his property and had a great review. Sorry about the vandals. Great video.
Oh good. I didn't look for other reviews in an effort to stay unbiased but I'm glad they worked well for him too.
Sadly this is a problem that is probably world wide. We have the same types of idiots/morons here in the UK. Our local playground and sports field suffers the same kinds of vandalism form the same kinds of idiots.
If it is any comfort to you Neil, you are not alone and they aren't targeting just you. All the best to you and the friends of the park.
Live about a hour and half south of you in a small town.. we've had small issues with vandalism the last few years at our ballpark. Disheartening when it happens. Hopefully the cameras will deter any further issues.
I hope so too. I think the kids may have been more bored in the last two years with all the closures and such...maybe.
Hope you catch them Neil
Thanks John
This was a sad video. I live in a similar small town. So small in fact when I was growing up alot of people didn't even take their keys out of their cars. Fast forward to today, I had to install cameras. I bought some from Walmart. They aren't as fancy as yours. And when there's an alert it just captures a still. But it did help catch someone that stole a bunch of my tools, they took my locked tool box and all out of my pickup. Sad world we're living in. But I guess we got to focus on the positive things. Maybe with all your viewers , you should start a funder raiser to replace your shed and equip. Thanks for sharing Neil.
Thanks Kory. Sucks about your tools in your truck. Hopefully something good will come out of all this. We think it will.
I am saddened that some people cannot use their time in a productive way instead of destruction.
Have had good luck with Reolink NVRs so far….
Good to hear.
A tire in the dumpster? Isn't that a no no? We can't do that here in Pa. I would suggest putting out a news release to your local media about the installation of the cameras. Get the word out and hopefully the problems stop
It's probably not favorable here either. But it was just a tire tread... :) shhhhhh.
I hope those that vandalized the park see the error of their ways & decide to do better in the future
Thanks Wade
It's unfortunate that a community gathering spot like that has issues. The sad part is that it's only getting worse everyday across the country. I recently installed cameras for a local church for vandal issues. The last place you would think there would be an issue.
No kidding! Seems that nowhere is safe these days.
Awesome cameras have 6 never miss a thing
Good to hear Logan!
Thanks for all you do!!!!
You as well sir!
Wow that’s awesome that you found the camera. But it is sad that misguided people have to be so disrespectful.
my brother was a high school custodian 17yrs vandalism everyday nonstop & cannot put cameras in bathrooms it did'nt stop until he got different job
Dang it.
That is such a shame. I never understood why kids take things so far. Even when I was a kid, I made sure to keep my distance from the others that would do things like that. I guess my parents did a good job at teaching me to respect others' property or I was just scared what they would do to me if I got caught doing something like that lol
Agreed
I have to say I was pretty bad teenager did thing I sure regret I be 53 this year .
Hey buddy I’ve been watching your videos for a long time I’m a lot like you with the John Deere thing anyways I’ve posted a couple comments here and there this is the first video that I saw that you guys really had some security concerns I’ve been in security for over 35 years I have many people that contact me for security solutions and I’m willing to offer you guys a rocksolid security solution for your park the thing that you came up with is a pretty good idea but I’m telling you I am installing a camera system at a park right now with no monthly fees the initial cost upfront is all you have to pay you on it no monthly fees
How much is the initial cost? Where are you located? We still need to do something...
@@digdrivediy you can buy a camera system from Costco it’s called Lorex eight camera system is about $800 hardwire system we need to have it installed I install it for my customers are usually charge about $600 to install it depending on what is happening cameras are hardwired connected to electric there’s a DVR it records 24 hours a day there’s even security that comes with it I live in Illinois west suburbs also the DVR records in 1080 P high definition with night vision cameras if you don’t know much about this camera system Lorex is made by FLAR CCTV A well-known company In the CCTV world I might even work something out where I wouldn’t charge you anything so maybe just the cost of the camera system that you could buy locally at Costco I really don’t expect anything to come up that I don’t expect anything for it just trying to help out a local John Deere Guy
How about setting up a go fund me for the park? Your followers would likely help offset the cost of the cameras and repairs.
We have something in the works.
Good luck, hope your unwelcome visitors have either learned the error of their ways or are caught quickly.
Me too.
I will put out another message for officers working that area to check the buildings at night especially.
Nice!
The sad thing is you probably know the arsonist/vandal, or at least know their family. As a 22+ year LEO, that has usually turned out to be the case in most arsons I’ve dealt with. That and many have been guys that have been rejected from vol fire companies for disciplinary/legal reasons.
I think you're likely right. My hopes is that someone who watched this knows who may be a suspect and at least share some thoughts with them about taking care of their local park. Wishful thinking at least.
@@digdrivediy I hope so Neil. You are good man for taking such an interest in your community. We need more dudes like you out there. Best to the family.
Matt

I know what you are saying I have sepent 30 + years remodeling and resideing my old house. It has been resided for about 8 years now and about 3 months ago someone decided they thought my garage would look better with a strip of white spray paint down the side. So my wife and I went out and purchased the Ring system and put up 2 door bells and a camara with 3 motion lights. Any way the system you have installed sounds like the way our Ring system is working. The camara does not always connect with WIFI or Cellular, the door bells work ok. So in a nut shell it sounds like maybe all montering systems work about the same? I hope the problem you are hving goes away Good Luck!
Man, that stinks for you Ty. Yeah, it seems like all these systems have their quirks. Let's hope as the technology improves we will start to need it less :). Thanks for watching and best of luck with yours too.
I really hope that the people that is responsible for it get caught.
Would love to catch them...
Thanks for the review. It seems perfect for your application. Is there anywhere we can donate to help replace all the baseball equipment that got destroyed? Both of my kids play in a small community league like Harlan and I know we would be in trouble if we lost all of the equipment. I would be happy to donate to help replace some of the equipment.
You're very kind Chris. I really appreciate the sentiment. Our board is in the process of figuring out what to do or if we will need further outreach with fundraising efforts. If we find we need to do some type of crowd source fundraising I will share a link. Hopefully we can raise enough locally to cover our needs. We are trying to decide on another temporary shed or adding on to the main building. Thanks so much my friend.
@@digdrivediy As an outsider I think adding on to the main building would be best. Adding another shed would just be a temporary repair, as it will happen again. Good luck.🙏😷⚾⚾
1:53 Soccer? You mean Football ? :D ;) Greetings from Europe
It’s too bad to hear about the vandalism.
DARK times we live in. Shame we’ve let our youth become influenced by the underdeveloped orbitofrontal cortices owned by certain individuals.
Neil, have you done an update since installing the cameras? Also, how did you retrieve your drone?
Sad about the vandalism at your park.
First I'd like to ask where are these parents??!!.. sad that in every culture there is the bad, good, n ugly. As I've explained to my kids..its like a family living in a home..why would you want someone lazy, destructive, arrogant, someone who thinks is owed too living in your home. My kids think I'm racist towards my own culture (Mexican), but as I explained every culture has there bad n good n ugly. You want a good tenant one go want to better themselves by act instead of as a resume. I come from a family with work hard n values, you prove yourself by works n love. As parents, where did we become absent to giving time, rules, n knowing where are kids are?...as I tell my friends n my family, ppl that suffered greatly, ones who grew up very poor and have learned from it, become to love and become to be teachers. Ones who have not, are destructive, n complainers and self absorbed as well as takers. Sad that parents have become self absorbed or lazy to see what kids are doing or give rules n disapline.
How’d you get drone down? That shoulda made the video.
It's still up there... jk - stay tuned :)
Hi Neil. Any update on this? Did the community agree to install these cameras? If so, have they helped deter vandals? Thanks!
We did install some cameras. The cameras work but the amount of feedback they provide to whomever is monitoring them is overwhelming. They go off very often since it is a public place, so we have gotten to the point where we ignore them and hope that if anything happens like this again then hopefully we will have captured it. So far the vandalism has been lowkey since the making of this video.
Is baseball like rounders
Maybe so!
Good luck and I hope you catch the scumbag(s) that are doing this. Some people just want to watch the world burn, I don't get it.
I don't get it either. Thanks for the support.
Did they ever catch the greasy little criminals?
No, unfortunately not.
@@digdrivediy Shame....would have been good to see some bare handed push mower mowing, dethatching, raking, seeding and watering for a start.....then scraping, sanding, and painting(inside and out) of all the buildings...don't forget hand washing all the gravel on the parking lots and playing surfaces followed by respreading.
Sounds about right as repayment to the community.
Get the retirees on rotating over night security shifts.
Ha! There's an idea 😂
that's bad. If you want we could put pictures in the newspaper let people know they will be prosecuted.
Thanks a lot Bryce. We are going to try some fundraising efforts and maybe a picture in the paper would help drive some donations. I'll let you know what we decide for sure.
Ope
So 100 USD a year x6 just for internet? Pointless! 1 source of internet would be enoguh! Or 2 but configured well as alternative one
Well, regular internet service here is like $75 a month so that would be more expensive than the $600 for the SIM cards though??? We have to cover 10+ acres so I don't know how we would do it otherwise?
@@digdrivediyI use 1 internet source distributed by Mikrotik router, all cameras are connected with 1 LAN cable which also powers them. Some of them can give power to another one.
Hmmm but I guess here you wanted to (had to) avoid wires, you would need power sources. So your solution might be better here. Otherwise there could be 1-2 outdoor access point (also Mikrotik devices) and wifi antenas pointed there.
But that requires power for each camera+antena.
I'm from Europe - you have high internet prices over there in USA! :O
Amazing channel, I'm watching video after video! :) I have forests in Poland :) Thank you!
I liked your commitment but don't like that you have to do it.
I am a member of a trash-picking group right now we are 135 people of all ages from 4 years to people walking behind a stroller we also want to change the behavior.
Lol I dont know I feel like someone can steal that camera he didnt mount it that high . You only need a ski mask and cordless screw gun remove that camera . I can't believe he mount so low
At least I'll have video of them stealing it 😉

It’s hard to imagine but it’s also likely that it isn’t youth, but rather adults being morons. I can’t stand when ATV riders ruin private or public property and give us good ATV riders a bad image.
Been watching triple D for the longest time and only realised with this video thats there NO black people to be found ?🫡🤔
