We were out of town and I was checking my cams remotely one morning and noticed one of the Deputies that regularly patrol my subdivision had been at my front door. She has come to me a few times requesting video as she knows I have fairly good coverage of the streets at my corner. I noticed that as she walked down my walkway, she stopped and picked up something on my lawn. Since I knew her, I sent an email asking what was up. She replied later in the day that there had been an incident in the neighborhood and wanted to know if I had video from the night before.
I answered her that I was out of town but would be back later that evening if she wanted to stop by and discuss what I should be looking for. We agreed on a time the following morning.
When she came by, I learned that numerous 'flyers' had been placed on lawns that night. The flyers were quite offensive and neighbors had called to complain. So I went to work trying to identify when and how those flyers were placed on the lawns. As one had been placed on my lawn and the Deputy had removed it, I had a good idea where to look and she gave me a time frame of 10pm on 7/28 to 8am on 7/29 as to when these flyers would have been placed.
I spotted the flyer on my lawn by looking at my Driveway Right cam. This is a Dahua T5442TM-AS in 6mm. Backing through that video, I could see that there was a car that threw the flyer out of the passenger window as it drove by a little after midnight.
Using some overview cams (Dahua SD12203T-GN mounted in second floor windows), I could track the car as it entered my street, made two passes back and forth, and caught some shots of them tossing flyers on to my neighbor's yards. This also got me good info on the make, model, year, and color of the car. There were at least two perps in the car as one was driving and one was tossing flyers out the passenger window.
Both my LPR cams got great plate captures. These are Dahua HFW5241E-Z12E dedicated/optimized for LPR only. This info was given to the Deputy. However, I have no info on what the outcome was.
