All I think of is those funny commercials where the bank is being robbed and the security guard is there and the customer asks "aren't you going to do anything?" Answer... "I'm only a security monitor"
So, you get a call on your cell phone... You can WATCH all your vid cams showing the bad guys robbing you.... What are you going to do? Sure, call 911 and get the police going, but the deed is done... They will be gone long before the police get there...
I've got security cams around my house, but not connected to the internet.. I've been broke into before.. Before I had the cams.. I've had bad guys come to my door when I was home, but that's the only time the vid cams came in handy.. I saw them, knew they were bad and got them to leave without incident.
I'm armed too, but that has never come into play to date..
Do what you need to do of course.. Just know that you can only do so much, but the bad guys might still get in..
Good luck!
