A burglar isn't deterred by a camera though. I mean for this use case they'd already be inside. Cameras don't prevent nor solve crime, at best they're for legal purposes if someone is caught, or for insurance claims.
- kube-system 2y agoThat sentiment has selection bias built in. Anyone who commits any crime wasn't deterred by everything. It is, however, factual that people choose to behave differently when they know they are being recorded. That might mean choosing not to commit a crime, commit it elsewhere, destroying a camera, or wearing a mask. While a functional camera can't prevent crime, it can identify those who commit them.

So, yeah, I would think that is evidence that they care about cameras. https://www.nj.com/morris/2024/06/burglars-are-using-wi-fi-jamming-devices-in-alarming-new-trend-nj-cops-say.html https://www.nj.com/morris/2024/06/burglars-are-using-wi-fi-j...
