In 2003 a home security camera was crappy, low resolution, poorly connected if at all, hard to install, expensive, and rare. I can’t quite put my finger on what has changed since then.
Although to be fair most of them are still pretty bad and expensive if you get one with rent-seeking built in.
- DrBazza 3y agoLondon is one of the most camera heavy cities in the world and crime is definitely not down.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoCameras don't stop crime because balaclavas still exist and they don't yet require a wearing 'loicense'.

- l8_to_catch_up 3y agoThe cameras are not there to stop crime, anyway, but to spy on and inform interference with the lives of all citizens for the benefit and power of government officials.

- dagw 3y agoDo cameras work as a deterrent? I know people who captured clear HD resolution 'portraits' (no mask or even sun glasses) of their burglar and they had to repeatedly nag the police to even bother looking at the image.
- master-lincoln 3y ago> I can’t quite put my finger on what has changed since then. Why do you use irony here? This is a really bad habit of communicating if you ask me. I had to read your post twice to get that you didn't mean the words you said. I personally don't think cameras help to prevent most crimes and quickly googling for studies seems to support that (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1080/14043858.2017.1387410 https://doi.org/10.1080/14043858.2017.1387410)
