The burglars have evolved in the information age. Just like I always look at Amazon before I buy on Aliexpress, everybody researches everything on the internet. My neighbour tells me that a relative just had the old cameras on the eves, and got standard IR fuzzy pictures of high-speed ninjas with hoodies running into the backyard, smashing the lock on the shed, and riding away the nice bikes. They are bringing in suicidal country kids for this. Everybody has the cameras that have aged out. You need to replace things every 3 years. The cameras now have to be low.
My company is now selling 'GooseCams'. It's expensive because those geese don't take it lying down. Two cameras in the eyes, and a microphone through the nose. Fed with a power over ethernet cable and continuous recording on a cheap Chinese ssd. I really don't have a company, because that would be work.
The point is that this is an information war. How did they zoom right on the shed and knew the bikes weren't chained inside? Cheap Chinese wifi cameras, run by Windows. They know everything about the house.
We have people 'casing the joint' at 3 in the morning. The old cameras are useless. The police caught a 12 year old from Guelph.
The other thing is the general projection of the street. They can look over Google street maps view. Our street has a good, friendly projection of active people. The other streets project being sterile and empty.
ps this epitomizes the new concept of neighbourhood security.
ps. We need an army of these things. A 3-d printer can make the mold. Barring that, we can have a sign.
Replacement for the old Neighbourhood Watch. I'm selling licences for the concept.
After midnight, we'll have the little robots trundling around the streets.
ps as expected I've been tossed out of the group. We are just going back to the old Neighbourhood Watch, and installing sirens at the houses.
