The value of having Cameras & DVR/NVR
There was a home break in a few houses away from me – a few nights back. I’ve got 7 cameras (Dahua N53AJ5Z & N53CJ6Z) on my house, in addition to my 2 Ring Doorbells. Apparently I’m the only one on the block that has something other than Ring cameras, and the cops came knocking asking to review my footage (and ultimately having the electronics squad come to grab the recordings). The quote from the cops was to the effect of “We don’t even bother with Ring camera footage, its useless”.
This alone proves the value of having “real” cameras on the house. I’ll admit that at night they don’t do the best – but they certainly are better than what Ring provides.
My suggestion – spend a few $K and put some cameras on the house, it is a good deterrent and may actually be useful when needed, vs the cheap Ring/Arlo type stuff.
