Our gated community spent $80,000 on upgrading their cameras system and bought state-of-the-art 5MP surveillance cams (total of 5 of them) that "lets you read license plates from within 100 meters" and "does a color-in-the-night type recording". They were sold on upgrading the whole freaking network of cables to cat 9 for God only knows reason. And I kid you not - less than 2 months later, we were hit and 6 cars were stolen. Apparently it doesn't matter how fancy your camera is, if the perpetrator setup a stand alone red laser at cost of $6 that shines directly at it...
- ec109685 4y agoReminds me of the time I was looking at my uncle's AV setup. Back then, you had multiple ways of delivering video between components: RCA, Composite and a variety of others. The tech person had every possible path wired up with Monster video cables. A waste of probably $500! For your gated community, it seems like a detection for the video feed going haywire that calls the cops might be useful.
