I’m a Federal LEO, soon to be “was” a FLEO, and enjoy having cameras outside the home. Whenever I get the urge I can look at my iPhone and see the house from all four sides. I also have one inside my garage. Sometimes I’m running late and leave the house quickly and very early (3-4am). In my haste I may forget to close the garage door. Since I’m not returning for several days, leaving the garage open can be a problem. If I were to leave the garage open it can be closed via iPhone. All video stored to the cloud, no dvr for a thief to steal. No problems to date but all this high tech stuff gives me peace of mind. However, if someone wants to rob you they will. Cameras simply make it easier to catch the guy or gal and get your stuff back.
