Heating & Cooling Thief

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.

Very cool story. Being able to take action to secure your property and belongings is a great benefit.

crime doesn't pay........it definetly doesn't pay when you have a logitech security system

You can get a motion sensor alert sent to your e-mail. I think their optional plan has a desktop alert for motion sensing.

This system works good for me, but my video is somewhat jerky compared to this.

Awesome, too bad they couldnt have blasted him right there and put him in the trash can. I seriously doubt anyone would miss a thief.

Awesome! Nothing like catching them in the act. I don't think he will be back to bother you again!
