For most… a security video system is a tool to protect themselves from liability, false accusations and identify activities around their home or business. For some, such as thieves, those who make false accusations and liars…it works against them.
There can not be enough said about video security systems and how they can vindicate or convict.
That said….One should have a security system and it should be specially installed to protect you against both sides of the law.
Picture… a raid at your home or business because of something someone said or an assumption of guilt. Law enforcement will take the system (as well as anything else they desire) and claim it’s evidence. They might even try to defeat it pre-raid. Most likely you will never see it again.
You have to be prepared. You have to have it specially designed so you can retain this evidence also. It’s not the cheapest way to go but in the end it will save you a lot of time and money by protecting yourself!!! That is a fact from experience.
Picture…a break in at your home or business. Professional thieves may be prepared for security system by defeating it or simply wearing a mask. You can defeat their counter tactics in several ways. But most thieves are just opportunists and will not even notice the system.
There are also specialized alarm systems that contact only you and whoever you assign. These work very well. Sometimes that’s better than the police. In some cities who knows if they will show up at all.
Here you can research a professional and confidential installation service provider and review some systems. It is best to hire someone experienced to consult and plan before you install a system. -> Link
You can also do some research on some other posted video footage. Take note on whether you can identify someone or color or even type of vehicle. There are a lot of bad video systems and a lot of companies dumping old cheaply manufactured boxed systems with misleading specs. Also don’t be mislead by the perfect pictures on the box. It doesn’t work that way in real life.-> Link
A recent post on MLive shows a positive point…
Two teens on were caught stealing medical marijuana from a home in Brandon Township, a community in northern Oakland County.
Oakland County sheriff’s deputies say an 18-year-old man and 16-year-old girl broke into the home of a woman about 2 p.m. They didn’t take valuable items or electronics, but marijuana the woman says she has to treat medical ailments.
Fortunately she’d recently had a video surveillance system installed at her home and footage helped Oakland County sheriff’s deputies ID the suspects.
