Some of us do, but when this stuff is happening at 2 or 3am, my 9 oclock walk does no good.
Understood, and this is all secondary to the fact that my home is hardened, and I do have all of those things done as well. House has dusk till dawn lights and I have cameras that can record in color because of that. I am wanting to put motion lights at the perimeter for multiple reasons. If they came on, anyone is backlight, think standard B27 target. If they go off, I can look out my window and not need to grab a fliashlight and go outside. I know something is out there, and whatever it is, is lit. Yes, I know animals can set it off, but if I am asleep, its not gonna bother me.
Stray cat theory, if my neighbor keeps feeding stray cats, I'm gonna have a stray cat problem. New HOA is trying to do more, but left with little money to do so.
There are cameras and lights at each one. Last HOA president upgraded them to do just that, but the quality still isnt good enough. So we have video of them coming and going but no plates etc being usable. As far as PD goes, OCPD is very proactive using home security footage. I actually work in public safety and work with/on Axon sister projects with PD, mostly on the hardware install/repair side. They have a way to register your cameras similar to a storm shelter, so they can contact you if something happens to request footage. It basically saves them from having to knock on doors. It gives them no access, it just tells them which doors to knock on if needed.

Sounds like you’re **** out luck if the men of the hood and you don’t care to walk when the low lifes do their walks!
