Are computer video surveillance system a good deterrent?
Find answers to your legal question.





Are computer video surveillance system a good deterrent?

I was wondering if wireless computer video monitoring system a good deterrent against buglers who are non-violent?

Would seeing a video system set up in my front door, back door etc. be a deterrent?

For deterrence should it be clearly visible?

I figure if the cameras were hidden it would not act as a deterrence.

Make the Dummy cameras Visible but make the Real ones Invisible; Put it at a strategic hidden place. If they foil the camera they would likely foil the fake and not the real so that you can catch em on cctv!!

Only if the crooks know that is there...and is install such way the the criminal element can't attack it and reach so they can do what they want to do.

You are correct that hidden security is useless as a deterrent.

If the cameras are real, they would deter most non-violent criminals. They are only interested in taking your belongings and not getting caught. The last thing they want is to be on camera.
