This is my first catch from last year. It's from before I took home surveillance seriously. I got into it after installing cameras in bird nesting boxes. For fun I put one of the test cameras at the front door, one in the back(both Vivotek IP8331 640x480), and later in addition a Vivotek IP8134V 1280x800 dome for the driveway. They were all set to motion detect, but after this incident they were set to 24/7 recording. The cameras are since upgraded, and multiplied.
I was sitting by the computer, when I got a notification from the door camera. I took a look on feed, and saw this guy. I was puzzled, because I hadn't heard the doorbell(he pretended to push it for anyone who could see him). To be honest, I didn't go to the door because of a non-pleasant BO at that moment. But then I suddenly get a notification for the back door, and I immediately go to the back door, turn on the lights and go outside. I see no one, but wondered if there was anyone around the corner(which there was), but I don't follow. When I get back inside, I see him taking off on his bike, he got away. It was only then I got to review the recording of what had happened. I was steaming.
When the police report was filed, it turned out there had been incidents in the neighbourhood with someone going into peoples unlocked homes during the day, stealing what he could get his hands on. We haven't heard back from the police since, so the case hasn't been put away. The fact that one of the victims was a police officer might have something to do with it :wink-new:
