My old 8 channel video system was state of the art (installed AFTER a burglary) 10 years ago but new tech with inexpensive cameras and DVR's came along recently.

 

WOW these new plug and play (Siamese RG cable compatible) TVI 2Mp cameras are several levels in clarity better than the older cameras... sharper image, richer color saturation, and better night vision are all benefits of the TVI cameras. The new DVR is also backward compatible to the older video transmission standards and you can implement two new TVI cameras at a time in critical areas while keeping the older cameras in pairs operational.

 

So far the police (they know of and LIKE my system) have proven beyond a doubt who was stealing mail from the mailboxes in the street with a recording provided by me with the thief stealing MY mail (his attorney claimed he found the mail in the street) red handed, a search for a lost little girl was narrowed by my searching my street (one of three possible directions they needed to search) for her to pass by before she got lost, a car that side swiped a neighbors car was identified, and I've caught fruit and orchid thieves on my property and my dog convinced them that stealing was unprofitable. So far it's paid big dividends to me and my neighbors.

 

For those of you who have businesses, work in public places, or own a private system you should all recommend or consider upgrading your systems. Cost is minimal (~$25 to on the high side $35 per camera, and at most $150 for a 8-16 ch DVR) and removal and replacement / installation is a snap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You've had more criminal activity around your house than the whole town I live in.  If you want to call it a town, they call it one on the map, but the main intersection is one 4 way stop with a blinker light over it.

If it wasn't for speeders and drugs they find on I-16, the county cops wouldn't have much to do.

It's actually a nice neighborhood with some outside influences that have an entitlement attitude and know where the pickings are good... which I do my best to thwart.

 

My burglary 10 years ago was by two 20 something female druggies from a VERY upscale affluent area who drove up in a new Volvo to clean me out ? Go figure.
