Hello, I’m not very experienced in this area, but I’m looking for some advice. I live in Colorado Springs, CO, and in 2022, they reduced car break-ins and thefts from a felony to a misdemeanor. It only becomes a felony if you’re linked to 22 or 23 vehicles, which is pretty ridiculous. This change has led to a surge in car break-ins and thefts in our area.
I’m seeking advice on a license plate recognition (LPR) camera and software that could be used in our neighborhood. Our HOA president would likely keep the cameras connected to WiFi and access the website or software as needed.
We had a local crime prevention officer attend a neighborhood watch meeting, and when I asked about these cameras, he said it’s a great idea if the entire neighborhood (only 30 houses) agrees to include them in our HOA fees.
Do you have any recommendations on cameras, software, or advice on how to make this work logistically? Thanks!
