My buddy is going to use his to prove a verbal agreement with a contractor who he claims wont live up to the original agreement. He's putting in a pool for his kids and the contractor said get this, this and this done and we'll do the rest and now is saying he told my buddy to do more and therefor there is an additional charge on the bill. Something to that effect anyway. We'll see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind was blowing mostly N to S and they got the most lake effect for sure, plus a storm went thru that dropped 6-8 in a lot of places in southern Michigan. Not as much up north. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to avoid dealing with insurance but sometimes you have to. The cameras are a deterrent, nothing more. Someone who comes toward the building will get a rude awaking knowing its too late they have already been recorded, long before they are even close to being inside.

As I said in my post, what if they're wearing facemasks? Then they're just another body without a face. I get that it could be a deterrent, then why not put up a bunch of fake 99 cent cams in plain view for the burglars to see?

High quality video cameras and Facebook have had a huge effect on thieves in my area. While masks make it more difficult to identify a criminal good quality video showing clothes, tattoos, hats, shoes, mannerisms, etc plastered all over the “Stop Crime” pages on Facebook definitely help identify and bring criminals to justice. A quick post on Facebook with video and pictures of the criminal in action will immediately reach thousands of young people and often get an immediate identification. Petty criminals are not very smart. They are usually impaired while committing their crimes They leave all kinds of clues. I spent 3 months on Grand Jury duty ending in September. High quality video and stills from the victim were often presented as evidence. On one particular case the head of security for our Target store was presenting his video evidence. It was very poor quality. One of the jury members suggested they update their camera system saying “a $30 security camera from Amazon will produce a far better image than what you have here”. The Target security guy agreed and told us they just ordered new cameras for the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not hauling nothing out of any value wearing facemasks from my place, they will need transport. And they will be lit up like christmas tree lights while knowing there is nothing fake on the premises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My camera inside the cabin has 2 way communication. I can yell at the perp over my phone and threaten them. LOL And I can turn every inside and outside light on at the cabin with one clic on the app on my phone. I doubt they will stick around.
