As an aside, a couple of years ago I was on a grand jury. One of the cases was a vehicular homicide case. The state police were able to accurately gauge the speed of the car on this suburban street by the timestamps on ring doorbell cameras. There were no less than five cameras on 1/2 mile of street. Since they were all linked on the same node of fiber, the time stamps were all synched. As a result they could pin point the speed within 1-2 MPH.
I was fascinated by the ability to track the car in this quiet, bedroom community.
Throughout that experience, I was surprised to see how much surveillance was happening in the county. You cannot do ANYTHING without two or three high def cameras catching you.
The lack of decent video from this case is stunning.
Yes, all women LOVE these Ring Doorbells. My wife has one. My daughter has one. My mother in law has one.
My wife gets a message every time someone leaves a package on the front step.
This is not because we have a crime problem.
I live on a rural road in southern NH. The next closest house is 500’ away. After that is a 1/4 mile.
My driveway is about 200’ long with a 15-20 degree hill that would not be to code today.
They show this guy walking down the street in a neighborhood with high wrought iron fences around their lots. Which means it is an expensive neighborhood. I guarantee that almost ALL these houses and businesses had security cameras.
You have to protect yourself from LIABILITY. Installing cameras is a now like buying an insurance policy.
This is how they caught the Boston Marathon bombers.
Stunning? With so many cams out and about, suspect might be more appropriate.
