well it happened...

disgruntled tenant that was evicted came back on a bicycle yesterday and within 1 minute reached up and sliced ALL the cctv camera cables. Video and power.

Good thing is the camera got him pretty good coming into the parking lot. Hopefully is clear enough for the police.

Now I have the fun job of splicing together everything.

A few lessons learned...

- think about what a vandal would do to your installation.
- assess vulnerabilities
- camera(s) to watch key areas of the cctv system
( he cut the cables going into the room where the DVR is )

That happened to a client of ours too. Unfortunately for the Bozo, he used a hacksaw to cut through the conduit he thought the cables were in. He cut through the electric line for the sodium lights instead. Oooops. The cameras caught it all. Nice going Sparky!

That is hilarious!!!

I love the reverse Darwin theory!!

Pleas a picture! :)

problem with "protecting" cables is that the client usually don't want it due to T&M costs. Best bang for the buck sells more than the best. sad but true. Unless the Goverment is buying.then it's nothing but the best since the bill is ours.

True story!
