Have you considered finding a new apartment an hr to hr and half away from your work location? Since you were paying for an apartment anyway,s finding a place located further away from the city might make for much better living arrangements when you do need to show up at the work location.
You often can trade higher rent in bad locations for lower rent when you are further away from a large city. This also weeds out a lot of the issues you have run into. Yes, this does mean you will have a long commute, but once you find a remote place to live that is quieter then you will understand.
Done the same thing myself, bought a home in a rural area an hr away from the largest city near me in the next county beside it. Housing cost much less, taxes much less, better school district. It is nice to be able to leave doors unlocked all day (and even all night by accident more than once) and never have to worry about someone barging in. I lived in that large city near me for two yrs to finish a degree, wasn't good back then, hasn't improved any now over 30 yrs later. After finishing the degree, worked a job there for 5 yrs before the company moved out of that city and headed to my same county that I moved to..
Remote cameras are just a temporary bandaid for a short term solution which allows you to watch helplessly while someone takes or vandalizes your property.
Then there is the ongoing cost of remote Internet access for the camera to have Internet data, figure at a min $60-$100 per month.. Add that on top of the popular camera systems like Ring that have a subscription based products that you must pay monthly subscription fee forever to keep it working.
You could roll your own camera/DVR system, HF sells a few of those for $250 or less with HD cameras but once again, Internet data connection is required if you want to have live stream remote access and when things goes sideways, you will be far away from the trailer to be of any help.
Looking at a camera/DVR for myself, but not for "homeless or bad" people, but since living in my home, had three different drunk drivers drive off the road and on to my property.. House has been hit twice and on the third time the vehicle rolled onto it's side and stop inches short of the house. I personally caught all three but the last one (most recent) one person fled and ran down the road so I was only able to catch one of two and the one left behind lied to the officer stating no one else was with them at the time of accident.. I had no evidence so they got first time offense slap on wrist and fine.
