  Not sure it's a great idea to show where all the cameras are.

  Max has been so generous sharing his life and some very personal experiences- for goodness sake leave him and Grace alone in their home. They absolutely deserve to have a safe space.

  Please, please be respectful of Max’s space, or he won't share his beautiful life with us.

  I think it's pathetic that people can't just lead their own lives without disturbing someone else's peace.  I'm glad you are taking it seriously and I hope it keeps you safe.

  Just a suggestion, you may want to run the wires through PVC pipe or flexible tubing to protect them from the elements and from someone coming in and cutting the wire to the cameras!

  People need to understand that just because Max shares parts of his life with us, it's his choice how much to share. It's not an open invitation for people to invite themselves into his actual private life. I can't believe this even requires explanation... I really hope this won't be a problem for you again Max

  I think a sign that says, "Funnel web spider and recombinant DNA research facility. Trespassers will be used for experiments."

  So maddening and sad that some humans just can’t respect other’s privacy!

  Coming from a security background, the best way to keep your property secure, I would not post where your cameras are. Because if it's someone watching channel it  makes the security system vulnerable. I just want you to be safe. ❤

  Hi max, we have 8 acres that backs up to national forest on two sides in north eastern Washington state.  We were having issues of people wondering onto our property due to numerous reasons most were innocent but there was a handful that were really creepy.  Fencing the whole acres was not possible because a large portion of our property is old growth trees and you can’t get a fence without removing a bunch of trees.  We did install cameras around the cabin.  However what really helped was following the suggestions of the local forest ranger.  We used a property app to give us a rough idea where the property line is and every thirty feet we installed different trespassing signs.  Some had funny signs, some said you are leaving federal land, and some were serious. In between the signs we put up flagging tape on shrubs and trees, it created a visual property line.  In the areas where a natural trail occurred we put up battery motion lights, trail camera and another trespassing signs about 50’ into our property line.  We really haven’t had issues since then.  One great benefit is we have been able to see all the wildlife around us 😊.  Not sure about your country laws but in some states they have the purple paint law, which basically means if you cross trees marked with purple paint you are trespassing.  State safe!
