How much does a video surveillance system cost for ADT or Brinks?

Friend accused of stealing, video surveillance question!?

  • A friend of mine was accused of stealing from a skateboard shop the other day. He's not getting taken to court, but the owner of the shop said he has to wait 4 days for the security footage to come back from ADT, or for him to get the footage one way or the other. I have been poking around on the web and I've read that that isn't exactly how security cameras work. Is the owner of the shop just trying to scare my friend? I will add that I know this shop does not have a super fancy security system. Also, I am pretty sure that there there is no monitoring of said cameras on-site. I'm beginning to think he's just trying to scare someone into admitting something. Thanks.

    You could try asking the police if they are investigating, or call in a tip you think that the shop owner is pulling a con.

If there is no on-site monitoring the cameras will be recorded, no normal premises can afford anyone to stare at a monitor all day. Recording can be local in the building, or remotely at the installer's control centre. Alternatively the local recordings can be downloaded to control at intervals so there are multiple copies. ALL local dvr machines not only record, but present an Internet connection for remote recording. And it might be the security company have a contract only requiring them to attend on site within 3 or 4 days. in which case he might have to wait for that before they burn the dvd for the police. On all my systems I generally do this remotely.
