Security Camera's and loudspeaker warnings

[Wyton]

Thank you Krela...think i will and when they all get crushed when buildings come down,at least there will be questions asked.

Amazing what these contractors think they can get away with.

It sounds like you had quite an adventure at that mansion. Security measures like those cameras and loudspeaker warnings can be surprising, but they're not uncommon in abandoned places.

You think speakers and PIR's are scary try the German Secca team that scan for Bluetooth and Wifi signals, track you down that way :-(

Just wanna add that UrbEx can be wild, but loudspeaker warnings? That's the next level. I've heard of places upping their security game, but that's some intense stuff.

Are such loudspeaker warnings live - or automated recorded responses? In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as Ford Prefect and company near the planet of Magrathea, their approach triggers an automated recorded message, from the Commercial Council of Magrathea, that notes that Magrathea is currently closed for business, and to leave. A follow-up message announces that nuclear missiles will be launched against the ship.

The missiles are detected, and the crew struggle to get the Heart of Gold to escape the missiles. Disaster is averted when Arthur activates the Infinite Improbability Drive and the missiles are turned into a bowl of petunias and a very surprised-looking sperm whale.

I doubt if the German secca mob have nuclear missiles, but you never know. And they would really make the place derelict.

Speaking of security, ever heard of this Security Holding? They're all about using the latest tech in the security field. They've been around since 2012 and cover a good chunk of the Ukrainian market. Not saying that mansion you visited is using them, but it's clear that places are getting more tech-savvy with their security measures. But hey, don't let this experience deter you. Maybe just do a bit more recon before the next adventure.

The mansion wasn’t thornseat lodge was it? The amount of times I’ve been there, I’m surprised the prerecord still works every time I go. Not all speakers now, but about half of them last time I went. They concerned me in 2019, but never again. Even with a house nearby.

been about for a while, u just need to determine if its a pre recorded message set off by a motion sensor (ignore it) or a actual guy who has spotted u on camera (leg it)

Had my first encounter with one today at a derelict building, all the rest of the CCTV was not working and seemed powered down, so did some electrical boxes I noticed, I walked towards a CCTV cam only for a LOUD blaring sound of an alarm, and what I think was a pre recorded message saying to leave now, this is a private site, please leave the premises or something along those lines. As I did not know if there was a guard further up I thought it best to make a graceful but moderate exit, was not followed, but not sure whether anyone would have turned up?

It varies. In some cases they despatch a mobile guard in a van who turns up a few minutes later (or a long time later…) In other cases, if you hide in the bushes, watch and wait, nobody shows up. No way to know if there'll be a response until you trigger the sensors. Best not to hang around if you're concerned, but from experience it seems that pre-recorded messages sometimes mean no response, whereas a human speaking through the intercom means a response is more likely.

There are ways to defeat Armadaillos as they're only 4 feet high, but the solar-powered towers are more difficult as the sensors are mounted about 12 feet up. Won't go into details on an open forum.

Trying to meddle with the security equipment makes it aggravated trespass...

Very true – but defeating them doesn't have to mean meddling with them. Think about how they operate, then how to avoid that.

cheers for all the replies, I will be more careful from now on, and visit the site when quieter and skirt that bit! cheers.
