> So, yea, a WiFi camera isn't great, but it's still going to get 99% of criminals out there. Next we just need WiFi jammer alarms. All we need is onboard storage to record a couple hours of video locally which can then be synced when the connection is back again. Right? That doesn't fix real-time information transmission, but video is most often important for finding suspects after the fact.

Someone sophisticated enough to run a deauth attack is sophisticated enough to grab the memory card out of the camera.

  Put a very small/hidden backup camera somewhere, so they take out the main one and think they're all good.

  Sophisticated criminals don't bring ladders to climb in order to fiddle with SD card slots. They want easy in and easy out. And they usually wear masks, so the video you do record are useless anyway.

> finding suspects after the fact Sounds like you think law enforcement actually give a shit about/can do anything toward solving burglary crime. Maybe it's better in other countries, but 5% solve rate sounds like they go and knock on the doors of the local known burglars to see if they still got the goods lying around. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jun/17/figures-less-than-5-of-burglaries-and-robberies-in-uk-solved https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jun/17/figures-less...

  I actually work in LE and video from domestic and commercial security cameras are always a major piece of information that we look for in every single investigation. So... Yes, LE gives a shit in many countries. However, also in many countries, like my own, police is very under staffed and burglaries are often on the bottom of the priorities list. Armed robberies, murders, shootings, stabbings, explosions, fires, domestic abuse, rape, to name a few, are the ones that get the highest priority. And those things take a lot of work to find suspects, prove what they're suspected of, write it down and get them convicted. A case, unfortunately, isn't finished when you catch a suspect. It's a crap load of work to get someone convicted and that gets massively underestimated by people who only read statistics and conclude that LE doesn't care... Most of us do, which is why we join the field.

    Same, used to work for one of the largest depts in the us, the part 1 crimes that are violent really take up the mindshare in a violent city. Cameras only tell so much, the flyers go out with what is found. Lots of people don’t snitch either. We are relying a lot more on technology not just registries of voluntary ring locations but LPRs etc. I think the goal is to get around no snitching.
