  1. A lot of people seem to think this shit is too expensive. I'm not saying you should be paranoid but you should at least have some knowledge on how to recognise and defeat these items. It isn't difficult to defeat electronic detection. This shit is becoming more and more common for a few reasons.

     

    1. The person making the decision to buy electronic detection usually isn't pulling the money from their own wallet. Most big companies have loot to waste for cool new toys.

     

    2. Graffiti will not hurt a train (they rust a lot slower I think) however when they see a lot of graff thoughts like "It will cost millions to repaint all those trains" run through minds.

     

    3. Electronic detection equipment becomes cheaper and more reliable every day. Bulls and rentacops are becoming more expensive every day too.

     

    4. It isn't just to stop graff, the line may be having theft problems (usually rail employees). That chill spot you may have hit a thousand times could be hit up with cameras or sensors.

  2. Better way to beat motion detectors, cover them with aluminum foil and jet.

    Smashing them will only bring heat (they send trouble signals) and will be repaired.

    If you can cover it with aluminum the owner will never know its not working.

  3. Cost for camera system with 16 cameras that detects motion and sounds alarm: less than $7000.

    Cost of labor for installing such a system in a medium sized train yard: $5000

    Getting a good chunk of that loot and knowing how to defeat that system: PRICELE$$

  4. As an alarm tech I may have some insight

     

    1. If you have enough money you can make/buy one, there are sensors

    all ready in mass production that detect glass breaking that can tell if

    the glass is tempered (breaks into small pieces) or plate glass. There is

    no such sensor in mass production yet but It would be easy to make. Items

    of this nature are all ready patented but not cost effective.

    2. More effective is a camera system that sounds an alarm when motion

    is detected. You can program them to sense movement of a specific type

    like people sized objects entering a yard perimeter. These cameras need little

    or no light to work (much less than your eyes need).

     

    3.Motion detectors (passive infra red sensors) are not effective

    in outdoor settings due to false alarms and less coverage area. They work

    by sensing heat from an object changing position. Outdoors settings have

    too much movement of heat (birds, animals, bugs, warm garbage or leaves blowing)

     

    The best way to defeat these systems is to learn how they work. You can google

    motion detectors, DVR camera systems, and alarms to at least know what to look for.
