People always say this, but is there any evidence it is true? Home burglars aren't exactly the cream of the criminal crop.

Take a walk around the neighbourhood, plenty of houses still don't have any video surveillance.

There's no shortage of footage of people casing a place spotting the camera then wondering away. The smart ones look like they're any other lost delivery driver complete with package in hand. Thanks to the rise of gig work nobody has uniforms anymore. No that it really matters, plenty of stolen uniforms in play too.

Then go for a CCTV system with local storage for the whole apartment complex instead of a cloud based personal surveillance system.

Then you don’t need 5 cloud services and people can go back to knocking.

When I break into peoples houses, I tend to take the NVR with me.

People who break into houses are going for a few obvious high-dollar items. They're not searching for a server closet they don't know exists. They're looking for laptops, pharmaceuticals, jewelry. High dollar, portable items. not a strange-looking device hidden in a closet. And obviously you can put it in a rack that requires a key to open. They won't bother.

NVR?
reply
Network Video Recorder, a name for devices where IP cameras stream their video to to be stored on, usually, a hard disk drive.

Same thing as DVR for analog surveillance cameras, just with eth (usually PoE) ports.
