[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 2061353, member: 2415"] Video can help prosecute, but you are correct in questioning if the police will act on it alone, especially if nothing is stolen or damaged. People frequently misunderstand that 'Surveillance' does not equal 'Deterrence'. Reddog1's situation with video worked because of Reddog1. If he relied on Police to do anything, he still would be at square 1, but he bulldogged his own cause. As far as "For me to catch someone I would have to be watching the camera", you can setup a networked DVR and just about any IP camera to notify you via FTP/email/SMS or through a dry contact output when something is detected on motion. Now, this may result in a billion false-alarms depending on how it is configured, but it can be done. [/QUOTE]
