This is how I feel about the security cameras we have at my house. Initially I got very anxious every time a (usually false-positive) alert arrived; now I'm so desensitized I basically ignore them. I know when my house or garage gets burglarized I'll have some nice, grainy over-exposed videos of the entire event but no real advantage over where I was before.
- SkyPuncher 6y agoI have 3 cameras that I find use. 1. A weird part of the exterior. I don't physically walk back there often, so the camera is handy. 2. One at the mailbox/package drop spot. Not for theft, just to know when my packages arrive. 3. One in the "mechanical" room so I can check in while I'm away (we have hydronic heat, so we can't fully turn the water off in the winter).

- alistairSH 6y agoI have two. They serve mostly as a notification system for somebody in the house that I'm not expecting, but not a security problem (housekeeper, adult son drops by for some reason, neighborhood friend drops off a roll of fabric for my wife - but that's everybody with a key, so like I said, not a security thing).
