Also consider addressing audio, specifically, the legality of it on your jurisdiction.
- Consent: one party or two party?
- recording audio on private property vs public property
- when is privacy expected?
- when can audio be recorded in a "public place", with little/no expectation of privacy?
- signage that "audio recording may be in use" might be required to get "consent"
A different subject may cover the subject of "how & when audio/video evidence" can be shared with police.
Last topic: when cameras on your property pick up audio/video from a neighbor's property. And how to use the "masking" feature, to superimpose black boxes on the image (say to block recording of a neighbor's window or front door)
Good suggestions by my esteemed forum co-members! Especially regarding the effectiveness of camera FOV (lens mm). Ring
door bell cameras are lousy for getting a truly useful facial shot, that can be used for Id. Only in the best situation can the Nest get good footage. The Next marketing material is slick and can be convincing to a lot of purchasers. However, after an incident (porch pirate), many customers then learn the hard way. Nest Cam can say "what happened", but not "who did it"
Good luck!
