I think the problem, is that cameras don't prevent you from getting stolen from. I know many people in the same city as me who get things stolen off their front porch, and have cameras.

On the flip side, I have basically never worried about being stolen from, and I have no camera.

The secret? All the places I've lived, have their front door in an inconvenient spot. For example, up stairs, or along the side of the house. Getting a camera doesn't make you safer... Cause all you have to do to thwart it is wear a mask. And thanks to the pandemic, literally everyone has one of those.
