I am thinking a Eufy solar camera network.

It used to be a funny joke, but in case you haven’t noticed, Timberlands have become very popular with the “urban” community, so I don’t think it would work in reality.

You wouldn't want to buy 20+ years of Scientific American would you?

Earlier issues, really good condition.

I live in rural flyover southwest PA.

Last year, Holly Vedalla, a 59 year old colleague of a relative, was shot and murdered while driving along a country road.

Home security video captured the crime and the black drug dealer who did it was quickly caught because...racism, according to the author.

Agreed, Boogieman. Timberlands — brand new, unscuffed, laces untied just so — are hugely popular among the ghetto class. In fact isn’t there a rapper who calls himself Timbaland? And that “jogger” who was shot while casing a construction site was wearing spotless work boots.

We are very happy with our Ring cams.

Security cameras are racist, transphobic, antiabortion, antimeat, produce carbon dioxide, and cause climate change.

Outdoor clothing made by Columbia is also targeted by shoplifters - high end and popular with urban youth.

“One by one they all get the woke cancer.”

It is the leftist long march through the institutions—they have created an entire culture of Walking Dead zombie “experts”.

To the braindead everything is racist.

As to cameras, this.

A few weeks ago we had an unusual spring storm — such are unusual out here in CaCaLand. Killed power (of course, a butterfly sneeze kills power from PG&E) and rained like ‘Ell. In the midst of this some thieving bastids raided the neighbors across the street — same house that local SWAT jerks raided years ago, that’s another story (house might be cursed). In the dark and with pouring rain they pulled bricks from their landscaping to prop up the car parked in front — and stole all four tires.
Coppers asked about house cameras. Apparently, such are presumed to work at 20+ yards, in the dark, in the rain, with power out — including street lights.

Yeah, right.

OUr neighbors to the side immediately installed cameras.

If it keeps me or mine out of hot water because it can show that someone came on our property and was aggressive then it keeps us safer.

If they could say what is REALLY on their mind.

Honestly I think they would say something like this to conservative men:

Kill yourselves
Give your wives and daughters, children to us (Turning the boys trans)
Donate your savings to the Dem party
Let us have your homes/Businesses

I suspect they secretly want genocide and this total dictatorship of their party.

Why wouldn’t I want the police to view a possible crime at my house?

Because they may find the possible criminal to be you.

That is a particularly notable risk if there is a "self-defense" incident in which you are somehow involved. But even if you have no involvement at all, there may be civil or criminal negligence liabilities documented on that video which can put you at risk.

Don't just turn over videos to the police without viewing them and talking to your lawyer first.

"Show me the man, and I will show you the crime"

(Attributed to Lavrenrtiy Beria, Chief of Secret Police under Josef Stalin)

Property crime is a common problem in my area. The low life steal packages off porches to finance a drug habit. Lots of Ring cameras in place and the local PD is happy to have the footage AND delivers on capturing the criminals. Local social media shares of porch pirates provide excellent crowd sourcing to identify the low life. Nobody likes a thief.

My local FFL has really good cameras in the store. A thief in the store was captured stealing some high end sights. The video sequences were captured and the local PD arrested the thief within 10 hours of the theft.

If you have a package delivered to your front door, ask the sender to write “Work Boots” on the box.

Good idea.
