Sub30kclub: does anyone install entryway security cameras?
Do you use video surveillance of your property? Why or why not?
I would think it would help protect the tenants as well as the landlord (you'd know who's coming and going and if there's trouble brewing at your property). I've found some cheap units for $150 that are self install and video record several seconds of footage when the motion sensor is activated. It could be installed in the entryway outside the tenants unit but would serve to record who is coming and going and when. Also, it'd ensure that no one else is living in your units and no pets.
