A 16-year-old male is due to appear in court after being arrested in relation to suspicion of breaking and entering earlier this week. The New South Wales police issued a statement Tuesday (July 3) regarding the arrest, in which they seized televisions, a video game console, mobile phones and other expensive electronic items. A motorcycle, three mountain bikes and jewellery were also located at the scene.

Infrared cameras are an ideal option for outdoor shooting as they offer a far superior picture in low light conditions. However modern infrared cameras are also adept at indoor shooting as well, or for capturing any area where variable light conditions might make a regular CCTV camera less id...
