Clear footage can help police investigate thefts, vandalism, and other crimes.
Export the clip in its original format, note the date and time, and keep a copy. Provide the footage through the method requested by the investigating agency.
Pin Tip
Make sure your camera clock is accurate so timestamps are reliable.
Stay Within the Law
Use cameras to protect your own property, never to record places where people expect privacy such as bathrooms or bedrooms of others. Recording laws vary, and audio recording carries extra rules. When in doubt, speak with an attorney before installing or using any surveillance system.
