Winner of the Logitech DVS Customer Success Story & Video Contest, April 2009. The customer purchased the Logitech Digital Video Security System because their business trucks were getting broken into. The crimes occurred late at night or early in the morning. The thief(s) would break off the locks to the gates, the trucks, and then open them up and steal the copper.
The crime captured by the Logitech security cameras in this video occurred April 28, 2008. I had the cameras linked through the Internet right to the computer in my bedroom. At 3:48 A.M. I was awakened by the alarm that alerted motion on the cameras. I logged into my account to see what my cameras were seeing. I saw a man in a hooded sweatshirt with a bag and a bar. I phoned the local police (who we notified beforehand of these robberies). It was 3:49 A.M. At 3:51, they called me to say they had him in custody.
The cameras caught everything - from the minute he entered the warehouse property, walked over to the trucks, broke the lock, opened the door, placed the bent copper in his bag, to being tackled to the ground and carried away in handcuffs.
