Is it worth installing CCTV for home safety?

Son did mine I wasn’t fussed but do feel a little bit more safe.

I think so.

Yes just spotted that 🤦‍♀️
What is that someone flogging something?

Ooh, I've watched too many door camera videos on youtube.
You'd be surprised at what lurks outside...

Yes camera doorbell for us & will be installing cameras soon as.
I feel safer with our doorbell camera. Also alarmed with panic button & always part set at night.
Everyone has up to three cameras per house round here.

Or, as recently seen:

I keep carnivorous plants… and they’re hungry.

No thankyou - that’s one more thing for me to watch .
I have a security light which keeps going on and off, every time someone passes my house, even the neighbour’s cat ! I live in a cul-de-sac . I feel pretty safe

Lots of people have cameras at the front of their properties here

It weird how they don’t notice how overgrown their own gardens are

I have a doorbell with a camera but it really gets on my nerves

We have a ring doorbell at the front and some kind of associated cctv system at the back which is reasonably cost effective. The ring doorbell captures movement not just someone who rings the bell. You can also watch from it if you hear noises outside rather than opening the curtain which I quite like.

Not sure it is the world's best system as I think it can be jammed by thieves, but we wanted it mostly to see if parcels had arrived. The one at the back is trained on our shed.
