I agree that there is nothing wrong with contemplating ideas. I never argued that criminals do not conceal their faces. I do believe a defense in depth scenario is the best, where there is more than one forum of security. Having that said, I personally think that security cameras are the best...

So I was trying not to continue a pointless debate, but cannot, to even help myself let the ignorance continue. Anyone can pretend to be anyone on the Internet for sake people wanting to remain anonymous. However, I do have a background in law enforcement. Firstly we are talking about mostly...

Why do you think you know the slightest thing about me and what I am and am not qualified to install? Firstly, if your cameras are taking motion detected snapshots how is a burglar going to get anywhere into your property to cut your cable line without being seen and uploaded? You really did...

Sounds like I hit a nerve. If you were a home owner and had a major organization like (Brinks or ADT) install a sophisticated security system in your home, then a burglar broke in and stole your DVR and said organization said "sorry your out of luck" would you be upset? Spoiler alert the...

I can almost guarantee you there is. I am not versed well in the language of the law so I would not even know where to look. The liability would come in when something actually happened to a home owner or other client like the previously mentioned things. Basically there is a good chance a court...

So I am really not trying to be an @$$ here but having any type of booby trap in your home in the United States is illegal. There are many reasons for it and home owners can be held responsible even when it works like you intended it (deterring a burglar). Not to say you do not have the right to...

Yeah I think what you and I are saying is the same thing. I honestly believe by the time they are able to break into your home you are going to have at least a couple snapshots of even the fastest criminal. However, I am not positive on this. Take for instance, many burglaries are planned or...

I do need to invest in a gun safe. I still do not think it is the right course of action in this case though. At least not for my particular needs. Because for the most part the only thing you would be protecting yourself from is a criminal that has broken into your home, aware you have...

Yeah that sounds like an awesome setup.It sounds like you have greatly increased your chances of having some sort of surveillance in the face of most events. Please do not take this the wrong way but it is still considered a single point of failure because of the fact no data is stored offsite...

Yep this was another concern of mine. However, I am thinking in reality you are going to get the criminal(s) in a snapshot that is uploaded before they can destroy or steal it. So even the most sophisticated criminal is not going to be able to walk/run up on your property in view of your...

Thanks for referring me and sorry it took me awhile to respond. First how much data is provided before the software starts erasing older files? Is this hosted in the United Kingdom? There might be some issues considering I am from the United States.

Yeah there are a lot of details, if I put every single thing in right away it would probably turn people off. I tried to put as many details in as possible without creating a flood. So to clarify my business will serve mostly home owners, but can and will serve small businesses too. It will also...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and ask for clarification and provide feedback, I appreciate it. 1.) Footage vs Snapshots To be honest, as far as backing up the data goes, I do not have many ideas where to even start. Because I could set the cameras to detect motion and try to limit...

I honestly did think about something like that, like maybe taking out a small partition on a local computer or hiding a clone of the DVR or something. However, by law for something to be considered truly backed up or redundant it has to be stored on an offsite location. For instance, I would be...

Hey guys I am a small time business owner wanting to get into installing surveillance systems. I have planned and figured almost everything out, including insurance, installation, setup and the like for this business. However, a major obstacle for me will be how I offer my clients backup for...
