Everything All Right and Outtasite - Surveillance Article
Jake felt pretty good when the town
council approved the condo construction next door to his convenience
store. He had run that little shop for almost thirty years, in the
same location where his grandfather had started it right after the
Big One. They weathered a lot in that spot, but the store survived
it all.
Now the neighborhood was on the brink of revitalization.
A few days after the new residents started moving in, Charlie
dropped by the store. Charlie had been the neighborhood beat cop for
almost half as long as Jake had run the store. Nothing happened on
that block without Charlie knowing about it, which is why he had
such a pained expression on his face.
"You're never gonna believe what I gotta ask you to do," said
Charlie. He told Jake that a few of the new neighbors complained
that Jake's security lighting, which deterred thieves from breaking
into his store, was keeping them up at night. One of the new
residents even found an old city code that stipulated that Jake
would have to start shutting off his lights at eleven o'clock, or
face some stiff fines.
Jake cussed and hollered at Charlie for about ten minutes straight,
complaining that his security camera wouldn't see anything in
the dark.
After calming Jake down, Charlie offered up a good compromise.
"Look," he said, "you all want to be good neighbors. So get yourself
a low light camera and everybody's happy."
Charlie showed Jake how little they cost, and he warmed up to the
idea.
These Low Light Outdoor Bullet Cameras were so small, he
could mount them anywhere without them being noticed.
In fact, he stationed a few around the front of the building, which
earned him the praise of the local neighborhood watch.
Charlie helped the homeowner's association install a camera of their
own, and piped all of the feeds into the building's cable television
system.
Jake got back to the business of selling groceries to a new
generation of grateful customers.
