Every subsequent residence has a full set of cameras going forward.
It is getting harder and harder to maintain integrity with the footage.
I hear stories where the DVR's are seized during raids and the PD claims no footage exist. So I started using a system to store the video off site.
Then I hear of stories where local authorities are cutting communications at the same time they breach. So I started having to pay for a service that uses a dedicated dish connection to transmit it to an offsite location.
My life use to be so much simpler before the event... some trust has came back, but I will prob never fully trust the local PD and DA integrity. You start to feel more on your own.
I've been toying with the notion for awhile and thought about storing the footage via cloud as a physical DVR can be compromised. But there are concerns with who can access the footage even there, hackers.
Did your setup have audio as well?
I understand how a house's phone lines, power/gas/water, internet/wifi can be shut off prior to a raid is that what you mean by cutting communications? I haven't researched into it but there is systems that are independent albeit expensive.
PM if need be as the subject matter is sensitive.
