We have recently experienced vandalism on a few landings, liquids (possibly urine) have been poured in front of several doors.
We have a good security system in the lobby, etc. However, we are looking for a simple way to monitor specific landings on an as needed basis. We would like something that we can install on a single floor and move to another location if necessary.
The only way I can think of to ID the vandal is on video unless you catch him in the act. Google the words "wireless security camera" or "battery operated security camera". There are a lot of styles available that can send wireless recordings to a TV, DVD or VCR.
One type is a "nanny cam", a tiny wireless camera about the size of a coin that can be installed anywhere. You could install it near the ceiling at one end of a hallway or a landing to record activity in that area. Parents use it to video record the "nanny" (or babysitter) who cares for their children to see how they treat them. That's how it got its name. It's not easy to spot because it's so tiny and doesn't look like a video camera, and it's not very expensive.
We have used the x10 wireless system in some of mny building with great success.
