This person said his sister was in a accident and needed money to get her car out of impound. IIR the story correctly her purse was in the vehicle. I later found out its illegal in our state for them to hold the owners cash and such so this is obviously a scam.
At the moment I was tired and gullible so I thought there was a possibility he could be sincere. He even asked me if I knew anyone else that could help. I probably shouldn't have answered the door but I figured it was someone wanting to shovel or something. On the way back to his car he decided to take a good look in mine. This was really gutsy considering he just spoke with me. I posted it on the nextdoor website and was encouraged to call the cops. I did so now they have a plate number and a somewhat usable photo. He has been around the neighborhood doing this since last week.
The driveway cam is a motorized dahua zoomed in all the way. I very rarely park in my driveway so I aimed the cam to mostly cover the mailbox and my sidewalk. I'm also aware the front door placement is terrible. I'm having some trouble to get a good angle with the camera in the soffit. I've been really busy and basically slapped up the cams so haven't had time to fine tune. My original goal was to have a few overview cams since I doubted they could be useful for something like this.
I wasn't able to post full video since youtube and even vlc seems to be having trouble with my fps? plays fine inside blue iris before exported.
