spoke to the lads first and no concerns were raised, as we are so used to people staying with us whilst we work on the cars asking questions and seeing what is involved, it was just an idea that if we had someone's car in they could remotely see how we are looking after it, so at this stage it is public this may change and instead we will give the owners of the cars we have in a user name and password for access,

obviously some people would not like to see there numberplate broadcast, i will gauge the interest of customers and there comments, i will then decide if it will stay public or private,

from a security point of view, anybody watching will see all keys are removed from the cars before we go home and secured, also with the eyes of the world watching can only put people off as anybody in the workshop would be seen, we also have motion detection so any movement triggers a report directly to my phone in the evenings,this on top of ram bars, monitored alarm system plus regular drive bys by a local security firm, i think the web cams would be a plus rather than a negative, but a valid point,

I see three choices
1, leave the cams open to everyone all the time
2, leave the cams public during the working day and private in the evenings
3, have the cams private via secure access just for customers when there cars are in the workshop

what would your choice be and why ?

DB7 pilot don't worry the lights are turned out at night, and reference your earlier post you are welcome to pop in anytime, i have not got a 7 in with a sports exhaust when i have i will let you know so that you can have a listen,

it will probably be best to leave the cams open in the day, and closed at night, if masking the numberplate is not enough for some customers, and they do not wish for there car to be shown, on these days the cams will be private,

may take a picture of an empty workshop to display in the evenings, or a picture with a few fords vauxhalls etc wink

smileblimey I am not turning them on to private again, tune into DMS tv next week, we have the setting up of a vanquish asm system, The fitting of a DB9 sportspack including a sports exhaust for starters, unfortunately hanging the apprentice from the rafters had to be cut from the schedule as there was a risk of him landing on one of the cars,
