You would never guess we would need our security system, but we did!
In 2011, a breakin occurred at our location. We had the year before installed an analog system, with 4 cameras. Our system included additional IR illuminators, and 2 types of camera - wide angle and normal. The system wired back to our DVR, which we had upgraded to give 45 days of coverage / storage capacity.
The system captured a full detail of the incident, and happily we provided a DVD burn of all the parties involved. From the system we were able to provide a full facial image that was used by the police to apprehend the criminal. He and his cohorts were prosecuted!
Our system also was able to :
- Capture vandals on the property
- Capture a person who was dumping her garbage out her car window each day on our street
- Capture images of theft occurring down the street
All and all, it's easy to see/say this has paid for itself!
