Why would a gymnastics gym get robbed? It’s just a bunch of smelly equipment that’s hard to sell and probably very little cash.

Looting is done for fun too. It must suck to have kids show up for practice in the morning and some of the essential gear is gone. It doesn’t matter if it is inexpensive to replace, you still have to cancel class and take a day or two up replace it, file a police report, etc

  Right, but why is a Flock camera a better approach than: insurance, on-prem camera, etc. The Flock camera doesn't prevent theft. It increases remote viewing (especially if it's used in a demo to strangers they aren't customers yet, doubly especially if those strange customers are doing it because the might want to see young gymnasts)

    normally a condition of insurance is that you have CCTV and other preventative systems in place. > The Flock camera doesn't prevent theft. Not directly, but it does increase the chance of the perpetrator getting caught (not flock, the camera) in theory this means that less people are about to steal/break stuff. Also sign posts with saying that "this place has surveillance" tends to reduce opportunists. On a side note I would recommend volunteering at a community centre/sports/scouts/library. First its extremely rewarding, and secondly you learn about how things are in the real world "for the normals"

      At least for private households, it's not mandatory to have surveillance cameras at home. If you do have one though, they will demand footage and can deny your claim if it was off, or worse. https://youtu.be/UMIwNiwQewQ?t=903 https://youtu.be/UMIwNiwQewQ?t=903

Possibly as a deterrent to a child (or adult) going through clothing/bags and stealing mobile phones while the owners are exercising.

Robbery may not be the main reason for a camera. Having a video of any incident that happens (broken equipment leading to injury, angry parent, etc.) would be valuable.

It's the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta. Jewish Community Centers are targeted more for attacks than a YMCA.

    Pretty sure some Atlanta organization has exactly zero to do with whatever Holocaust you are thinking of.

  The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a faceless guy with a camera?

Vandalism.
