@DLONG2 There is not NOTHING a security camera can do to stop a group of thieves, not even an instant radio
broadcast LIVE on a police channel!
I worked in a computer store in Fountain Valley CA. Those guys would break in, clean us out, load a stolen U-Haul truck
and be gone in less than 90 seconds! The door mat was rigged with a microphone to detect loud noise with
a radio transmitter also activated by a pressure switch that broadcast an alert on a police channel.
As I was a ham radio operator, I had a radio set to that frequency (to listen only) to alert me as I was the closes one to shut off alarms
and all the little sundry item involved. I did not have time to get my trousers on before the PD called to inform me of the break-in.
Blinky light and a siren will detour most non-pros and crack whores even as one members video, it was a a tracking PTZ as the sole
intimidator!
