Basic Concepts
Selecting & Escalation
During modern day life, turning your BOL into a maximum security fortress complete with patrols and 24/7 observation post may bring unwanted attention. A simple neighborhood watch, on the other hand, may be inadequate during a full-blown societal collapse. Understanding how much surveillance to use and when to escalate to greater security is important.
Visibility and Sight Lines
Visibility is a careful balancing act of providing yourself with good lines of sight for observation and weapons use if necessary while trying to conceal yourself from view as much as possible. Put simply, you want to conceal yourself without providing concealment for intruders.
Lighting
Properly placed lighting, both static and motion activated, allows you to see what is going on more effectively. Lighting that is projected from your house outwards also compromises an intruders ability to observe your home.
Methods
There are many different methods of surveillance, some are simple, easy, and should always be in place while others are resource intensive and would only be useful during a crisis.
Physical Observation
The simplest form of surveillance is taking the time to watch what is going on. Some degree of physical observation should always be taking place.
Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood watch programs generally consist of little more than communities agreeing to keep and eye on things and making sure everyone is aware of unusual events.
Video Surveillance
Video surveillance uses video cameras and IP Cameras to view one more locations remotely from a central location. This allows one individual to potentially monitor and record many location, distant or near.
