One of my neighbors told us her car was broken into this week. Another neighbor reported someone tried to break into his home last week.
Our primary deterants are our gates and cameras. Both were not working during this time.
We need to fix these things as soon as they go down because it is a sign to bad guys that no one cares about security in this neighborhood.
I am sure several people were broken into, these guys dont just hit one car and leave.
If I had a ladder that could get up to the camera I would point it and tighten it down, which I assume is all it needs.
We need to look at adding a battery backup to the gate. Everytime power goes out people have to basically take the gate apart and it never gets put back together quickly.
For battery backup they would use a couple car batteries and possibly a solar panel to keep them topped off. I cannot image it costing very much.
