Thanks for the offer! But you would be bored to death. No naked women walking by, sadly. I have seen people stealing packages from neighbor's homes, vandals in a car damaging a neighbor's car, and drunk misfits doing misdeeds (banging on cars) as they walk by (called in to cops and caught). Plus you learn all the comings and going habits of neighbors. I think the presence of cameras do cause thieves to think twice and go elsewhere.
This alone would make a High-Definition security system something to aspire to as far as I am concerned. All too often, I see vids of individuals making off with packages dropped off by carriers (FedEx, UPS, Ontrac) and then being taken by assorted individuals (of a certain calibre) from their destination points (sometimes by neighbors, even) and far too many times even the vids of the crimes being committed are not enough to bring the miscreants to justice.
Something like this is an issue that needs to be addressed in order to maintain the integrity of the data collected, not to mention not allowing anyone else access to it (the data as well as the raw vidfeeds) at their whim.
