Home "security" cameras cause far, far more angst and grief than they do benefit.

"Hey, mister policeman, here's a video of a guy stealing my truck."

"Yep, that's a guy stealing your truck, alright."

"..."

"Should'a put it in your garage."

"My garage is full of crap I bought on Amazon. Some of it, I haven't even opened. Also, the truck didn't fit in the garage after I had it lifted."

"The report is filed, I'll let you know if we find anything."

"You're not going to find anything, are you?"

"We're not even going to look."

One-third of Nextdoor is lost pets. One-third is people selling crap they bought at Goodwill. And, the last third is people asking about the "suspicious" (non-white) man who walked down the sidewalk past their house at 5AM.

    Eh my cameras sit local and only get looked at when I am either board and want to do some frigate plus uploads or if something happens. Besides looking where delivery drivers have left packages I have only had one incident.
