We have been truly blessed, so the cameras are more of a hobby . We have two bergs to worry about. One in Central Florida and one in West Texas.
In Florida, we live on a cul-de-sac that is off a dead end, that is off a dead end, that is off a dead end street . There are three police officers that live on those streets so nobody Ventures this way. We have a 6,000 acre swamp for a backyard. We had a Vietnam vet, that would wake up at 2:00 in the morning, unload a clip, yell "Airborne" and then go back to sleep. He sold his place to a guy that is just annoying but harmless. I think I preferred the Vietnam vet. Now a young kid that appears "challenged", unloads his airsoft gun just to make noise. He likes driving on the side of the road and making ruts. He makes guest appearances in other neighborhoods on the next door app but has been mostly harmless. In over 20 years, we have had no break-ins on our street. Knock on wood.
In Texas, We Are on a zig zag Road between two major roads, on one end you have to drive over two cattle guards so it appears you're on private property. You will probably have to dodge cows, and will definitely get your tires "dirty". Less than a dozen houses on this road. The sheriff's sister and cousin live on this road. I started with the cameras because one girl's boyfriend had sticky fingers. She has since dumped him and we have had no problems. However, the sheriff said that traffickers have started to notice our road. It is a shortcut between the two major roads that they use to avoid law enforcement. I don't think that they want to stop in our neighborhood. They want to keep going to wherever they're going to stay. We have seen no trafficing in my cameras so far, again knock on wood. The cameras will not stop anybody from stealing anything. They are just a means to collect evidence, hopefully.
