Who has installed or is planning to install a system like this? Does it make you feel more secure? Can your cameras do more than just show images?
This is what it looks like for us after a series of burglaries in the neighborhood a few years ago.
Outside, there are five bullet cameras and one dome camera installed at the entrance. Inside the house, there are three more dome cameras.
Everything is connected via PoE. Inside, there is an NVR with enough storage capacity for about 14 days of continuous recording. However, the cameras are (of course) event-triggered and only record when movement appears in specific areas of the image. (Therefore, the NVR has never actually been full.)
The cameras have different resolutions depending on their installation location, ranging from 3 to 10 MP.
The affected camera can also trigger actions during prolonged movement or tampering. For example, turning lights on or flashing them, sending images via the internet, activating a siren, and so on.
I wouldn’t claim that this makes us live more securely, but it does make us feel calmer. Because you know that as long as no images come from your home, everything is fine.

Especially the software-based motion detection is not perfect,It’s all a matter of settings. But of course, also the capabilities of the camera and NVR. You can never achieve 100%; there will always be false alarms.

The purpose of my outdoor cameras is actually to detect people who are scouting around beforehand. It’s my own little theory that I would never break in anywhere without knowing exactly where to go.At our neighbors’ place, they came through the adjoining gardens. So, not at all via the expected access routes.

Hello ypg
Brief explanation: Shortly after the incident (about 60 minutes), I was able to narrow down the location of the three suspects to an area covering approximately 20 houses on one street. The police did not consider it feasible to go door-to-door in these houses to ask about the suspects.
StevenI see,
How exactly did you narrow it down?
Hello ypg
Both the police and I drove through the villages after the attack. I saw the three men at a street corner. They then ran away. When I entered the street, I did not see them anymore. One man was at the other end of the street. I asked him about the three. He definitely denied that they had passed by him in the last few minutes. He had been working in front of his garage the whole time. So the three must have disappeared somewhere in the previous houses.
In the meantime, I also know which house. One of the three lives there. He was 16 years old. Well, I did not pursue it further. But I would have expected a bit more support from the police shortly after the incident.

Hello ypg,
you have probably also read that one of the boys, after I opened the door and told them, "stop that," replied, "Dummy, do you want a punch?" and then all three attacked me with their fists?
This is not meant to bash the police. I myself was a police officer for several years.
I also understand that the police are not responsible for the current situation.
However, the state insists on its monopoly on the use of force (which is good and right) but can no longer fully enforce it. At the same time, the state is increasingly limiting my ability to defend myself—almost like protection for offenders.
