09.14.26 Home Security Cams / StubHub’s Ticket To A Reckoning

Do you know that study after study has shown that having security cameras, even really basic ones, at your home keeps it safe from a burglary? And home burglaries are not nearly as common as they used to be, [laughs] and that's because the quality of a $25 home security camera, the video it captures is so good night or day that the burglar, and usually if, if they got caught for one burglary, it's not the first one they ever did, and then the police are able to string it together and say, "Oh, he or she robbed that house.

They burgled that house.

They burgled that house." And the cameras, the burglars get it now.

They're like, "I don't want that image of me on that camera." It can be as simple as a doorbell camera, but more often, usually on a house you have one on each corner.

Spend, if you buy a cheap camera, spend 100 bucks.

That is such a deterrent that you're not likely to have the problem of the break-in.

But if you ever did, the ability to capture the crook goes up so much.

Uh, you go back in time in the wayback machine, [electronic sound] home burglaries were a huge problem.

I mean, huge problem.

They were one of the reasons that people feared for their personal safety so much in the United States.

Today, not so much.

I mean, it's very rare now to hear somebody suffering a home burglary.

So yeah, I get it.

The camera's good and bad.

But for your own castle, your own home, those security cameras are awesome, and you don't have to subscribe to monthly service.

Christy, you know, a lot of the cheapest cameras are ones that have, this sounds like from the wayback machine, they have an SD card in them.

Mm-hmm.

And they record enough video that if something happens, you just pull out that SD card and you got what you need if you don't wanna pay for one of the subscription services.

I would pay, though, because sometimes crooks know to take those out.

You think they're gonna climb up on a, get a ladder-

I mean, it depends on-

Go up-

... where it is, yes

... to the, to the corner of the house.

Depends on where, where the camera is, I'd say.
