  6. Weather Proof: Cameras stood strong as a tornado raged outside the home, capturing every second.
  7. Explosive Damage: A nearby power plant explosion was caught on film—critical for evidence and safety reports.
  8. Intruder Attempts: A man trying to force open a front door gets scared off by the camera's visibility.

Main Reason: Thievery Protection

Package theft is one of the most common modern crimes. In one clip, a woman is caught red-handed trying to swipe a delivery. Cameras don’t just record—they deter.

Whether it’s a serious break-in or a random act of nature, your camera is your eye when you’re not around. These videos speak louder than any advertisement.
