Yeah I figured it probably happens more frequently for you LOL, but it isn't enough that you just ignore it either LOL.
Yes, you need to add an autotracking PTZ! I may be known to have one or more LOL.
Unfortunately all of those trees will severely limit the range of the PTZ movement, but that mini has shown some incredible progress thru trees so maybe LOL.
Yes, happens quite frequently. There's a surge in December when robberies really pick up. Then a lull into the new year but we're seeing more activity.
The one tree in the first video needs a trim. Neighbour gives me carte blanche to trim foliage for the purposes of security.
Here, the police, especially the 'jefe del sector' (sector boss) know who's who in the neighbourhood. In December, I asked him to come over and look at recorded activity of the previous four nights. He seemed a little stressed when he left my house! lol His performance is rated on the crime rate, clearance rate, etc so he did NOT like what he saw. Just kind of the usual, people dressed in black with masks and backpacks loitering around. They were really casing the water pump that sits above the cistern of the property across the road. Water pumps are common targets for thefts and are easily resold.
I'm sure he went to some of the usual suspects and told them what he saw because things dropped off to almost zero overnight. Am I okay with that? Yes. If a crime can be prevented, it should be. It takes far fewer resources to talk to a few known thieves and let them know that they're being watched at my intersection. It worked as there's even less foot traffic at night than ever. And virtually everyone walks in the middle of the street at night thinking I'm not recording the street and opposite sidewalk.
BoobieCam is going up in the front entrance next month (headed to Toronto where it's waiting and then back to Havana in April) and I have some great ideas how to disguise it so it's much less obvious. Going 4' off the floor so it will be a true BoobieCam!
And then I have another idea for the BoobieCam use running 24/7 face detection. Angles aren't great but I can work with them. My Color4K/X is running FD during the day mounted 7 meters (24') up and 10m (33') back from the sidewalk. The BoobieCam would be better but still not those idea 6' to 7' off the ground. Gotta work with what you have.
