Are cameras installed for your own protection or a means to keep track of everything you do?

Every single CCTV DVR/NVR I setup ... has to have the location service switched on to activate the unit ... where is all the data saved?

At the rate cameras are being installed to keep you safe ... it makes you wonder how much privacy you actually have ?

Do you believe that every camera installed in public places should b accessible by anyone or at lest controlled ?

For example ... lets say joe soap next door decided after being robbed ... to install cameras around his house and some silly people install them inside the house ... then link them to app which is downloaded and everything is channeled via the app or XVR.

Let say joe soap decided to install the latest 4K camera with all the bells and whistles ... which include motorised varifocal and a few other nice features.

My advice to you ... make sure you have access to those cameras facing your property and understand the capabilities of that camera and what they can view and record.

PTZ cameras are the best because you can move them around and zoom in on stuff you want to see up close

People worry about drones hovering above their property ... yet the cameras are being installed everywhere around private homes.

Something to ponder on a Sunday morning.
