I have to say that the ptz has had an impact on late night characters (druggies, thieves, transients)
We live more or less on the front line between very nice homes to our north and “the hood” to our south and west. With a homeless encampment that has sprung up about a mile away, and a suspected drug house somewhere just north, we had been seeing a lot of foot traffic passing by, and occasionally stopping at our little street looking for targets of opportunity between midnight and 4 am.
With the introduction of the PTZ we’ve seen a noticeable decline and more than one who have initially entered the neighborhood, saw it following them and decided to find another street to visit.
just out of view is a “dead end” sign post and directly below it a “neighborhood under surveillance” sign. Occasionally the ones that have a few brain cells left catch on
