Watch Jefferson County

To help prevent crime in my area, and to observe and report suspicious activity I have installed remote wireless security cameras around my house. These cameras are great because I can monitor my home from any location that has internet access, the cameras will also email me if any movement is detected. I have caught the neighbor kids vandalizing my newspaper box, and construction workers trespassing on my property.

This is a great feature because even if my cameras are stolen or vandalized it would have already emailed me a picture of the perpetrators. These cameras are relatively inexpensive, and can be bought over the internet. They do not require a computer to be used, so if your computer is stolen, the video is still being sent to an email address. I have recently setup cameras at my brother’s house, which has had some vandal activity as well as strange person visiting.

I am looking to add a new outdoor wireless camera to my setup, which has night vision and sound, so that I can come armed with a cache of evidence if anything were to happen at my house. I would strongly suggest anyone who is worried about crime to invest in at least one of these cameras. Most petty criminals which are the ones around here, will not even think that their actions are being recorded, and when their face is on camera, it will be hard for them, or their parents to deny they had involvement.
