Why is Video Surveillance Necessary?Several years ago, I visited my brother in a different city. During my visit, someone had drill a hole in his neighbor's SUV's fuel tank. Apparently, someone wanted the $100 tank of gasoline for free, at the cost of the SUV's owner paying $5000 for a new gas tank. A few year later, today, my family had been Thinking of Home Security due to an burglary encounter. While talking to my brother, he mentioned that the police had caught the gasoline burglar. The burglar had been stealing gasoline in that neighborhood. A police officer spotted a bucket under a vehicle and waited for the burglar. After that experience, my brother felt having a video surveillance system is necessary to both deter neighborhood crime and to capture evidence when it happens. And after our burglary experience, I had to agree with him. Cross-Reference My brother had been looking at the Netgear Arlo home security system and recommended it to me. In fact, he ordered a set for me, which I will review in the "Netgear Arlo Review" article. For one, having a video surveillance system is a great deterrent. It seems that no burglar would want to have their face captured and identified. Seeing a video surveillance system means that most burglars will move on to lower hanging fruits (houses without the video surveillance). Just surveying Amazon, I have found video surveillance system to be very inexpensive. An Elec four cameras system with a DVR, night vision, and Internet port is as affordable as $99 (see "Related Links" below). This means that even fake video cameras and warning signs could be used as inexpensive deterrents. Having a deterrent is better than having nothing. Last I checked, a fake video camera is about $7 (see "Related Links" below). Most of us could afford several of these cameras to mount on our property. Unfortunately, with fake system, no evidence is captured when an intrusion does occur. That brings us a full circle to say that a real video surveillance system is better, because it works as a deterrent and an evidence gathering device. But a burglar could bypass the video surveillance system in several ways: 1) wear a baseball hat; 2) wear a mask; 3) turn off the power. In order to avoid going on a tangent, we'll talk about combating each of these issues in separate threads. Watch our "TrackBack" section below to see when they are added. Mel
