This helped people know right away what our group was about.I suggest that's a good way to start.Also, if you haven't, set up keyword alerts in BP (through your dashboard) for Shanghai and China so you can be alerted anytime it's mentioned.You can also try to do a search through BP for "China" and "Shanghai" and start PM-ing people or seeing what they're posting about and adding a comment.After we set up the MeetUp, we made Video Introductions - just using our computer cameras - and set up a standard response to any new members that included our Facebook page, links to our Video, etc.We also created some video cartoons (a little more complicated - maybe if you get someone in your group who has some computer skills?)

I am all about investing in education and software to make my marketing streamlined and wouldn't have minded to spend the money to attend the 3 day course and receive some software although the VIBE that I received was not so friendly.The gentleman even said if your here for the free camera its not that good and your phone is probably better. 

Keep track of your miles for IRS purposes.Bring a camera or if you have a smart phone with a camera then you're good to go.Have a dedicated notebook to write down addresses.

One of the things we've learned over the years is that a camera inspection of the sewer lines is cheap insurance.

Do you folks use a standard camera and stop and shoot a photo?

I'm not a professional photographer, but I recently purchased a wide-angle lens for my camera, and it makes a huge difference when shooting some rooms.

What you'd need for this setup is the network video recorder, a PoE network switch with enough PoE ports to power each camera, the PoE cameras, and some network cable.

Last time I put up 4 security cameras in the common area covering all of their entrances with one zoomed in on each of their door and another in the parking area to capture license plates.

I had a camera with a good flash and I took several pictures that shows a lot.

Get some security cameras from a company like simpli-safe and post them so you catch any cars with the license plates coming in and out.
