Just this last December,a family friend had completed her Christmas wish. The few minutes that she was in the house were enough for everything in her car to be gone when she returned. If she had a surveillance ONVIF Fisheye IP Camera, she could have given the police something to investigate. As it was, she lost everything she had purchased.
When your car is sitting in your driveway and vandals decide to break a window and steal the radio or your possessions, what can the police do other than take a report and possibly increase patrols. Your insurance company may or may not reimburse you for your loss. Either way, in this particular instance, it created not-so-fond memories of the year of the empty Christmas tree.
As our society continues to change and crimes against individuals and their property continue to escalate, the police departments are ill equipped to bring the responsible individuals to justice. It would be of benefit to the police if one were able to produce a video recording of the the criminal activity from a surveillance systems DVR (digital video recorder). You may even find that you know the individuals and you can direct the police to them and can ensure their arrest and conviction.
