From real personal experience, I can tell you it depends on what you want to get from having cameras. If you feel better being able to see around your house at night so you can call the cops if someone is truly on your property, then yes a system would do as expected. However, if you think that it would be useful after your house has been burglarized in order to help capture the person, then you'd better think twice. If that were to happen, there is a high chance that later they or a friend would come back to your house for revenge. This happened to me and they spray-painted the entire inside of the house and broke everything in sight. I'd never go that route again myself. I'd move to another area with fewer problems. The Villages is not a real gated community. Any press of the red button and any clown is riding around inside. There are safer areas and areas that are next door to communities with drug teenage addiction problems that are only getting worse with time. No amount of cameras or neighborhood watch problems are going to stop the drug addicts from petty crime in order to fuel their out-of-control addictions.
