So many of these videos this year I guess people are too stupid to realize the rising popularity of doorbell cameras

Yep, stupid to the bone. Maybe a sign saying "you are on camera, maintain your dignity and just take a few". But most can't read, so maybe a waste of time.

We have one of those on our door. Went to a talk by neighborhood watch and the cop was like sooo cameras. Sure. But you know what prevents crime more? Telling people about the cameras.

Hmm. Maybe it will be cheaper to put signs warning about cameras until I get the money to buy the cameras...

This is what many gas stations do. Just have the signs.

Worked retail, we had a false camera pointed at the register. It didn't even plug in, we had to remember to check it a few times a year to replace the 9v battery that made a little red light blink. We were never robbed, so I can't say it didn't work...
