I live in a remote area with a 1/2 mile private road to the house. Video surveillance is part of my security system. I have a monitored security system in the house (a DIY project). I also have sensor buried under the road at the gate (1/2 mile from the house) to trigger an alarm in the house when someone is approaching with a vehicle. In addition to sounding alarm, the driveway system, if I choose, will also activate a dialer to call my cell phone with a message. I have three wireless video cameras (Insteon system) which I can view on my smartphone to see who/what is coming down the road and around the house. The Insteon system also allows me to remotely turn on lights which may freak out any intruder. As a backup, I have several Reconyx cameras (license plate and color photo) placed in strategic places and encased in locked, metal security boxes to take a series of still photos of any traffic on the road to the house and around the house day or night. Of course, the still cameras catch a lot of wildlife and normal activity around the house. Usually the memory cards can be reformatted after a very quick review of photos unless you want to keep the deer, fox, coyote and bobcat photos to show friends.
It may sound paranoid, but the local newspaper lists about 20 crimes in the area on a daily basis. You probably would install a similar system.
