Security Cameras: Catching home burglars from work with CCTV!
Los Angeles, Ca - August 29, 2012 - Imagine this: You are at work and check into your home security camera system to see what is going on. Typically you catch your pet misbehaving, but this time you see some unwelcome guests making themselves at home while deciding to start packing up your valuables. Except that they are not guest, but rather burglars stealing you belongings. This is what is happening as more and more of our clients take their protection into their own hands. Since only 1 out of 10 home burglaries are ever solved, people refuse to be victims.
Recently, a Los Angeles couple decided to install security cameras in their home after it was burglarized earlier in 2012. Many people think that statistically, the chances of being burglarized twice is low. Unfortunately, this is not true! Thieves tend to prey in areas they are comfortable and getting a CCTV system can show that you are now vigilant.
When the customer initially requested the surveillance system, their two biggest concerns were:
- 1. Sufficient quality and number of security cameras to provide needed coverage.
- 2. Ability to view the cameras remotely through the internet.
Interestingly, this is exactly the concern expressed by law enforcement when the are provided with surveillance footage. They frequently point to low quality and bad coverage as the number one reason of unreliable recording. Why would someone buy a cheap system if it offers no assistance when needed?
So when they were sitting at work, they received an email of motion detection and logged in. Guess what they saw? Some one roaming around their home. They immediately called 911 and the Los Angeles Police Department was dispatched. While on the phone, the victim continuously provided the 911 operator with details of the activity inside the homes. Minutes later, the police had the home surrounded and apprehended the criminal. This would have never happened without the security cameras.
Question: Do you know what the greatest danger of home burglaries are?
Answer: The crime turning into a home invasion robbery if the criminal happens to find someone home.
