This isn't an unreasonable use of a camera in todays package stealing environment. 

I was met by an eviction team and angry landlords with cameras in hand.

I put in technology like online rental, security cameras, etc.

NYC seems to be the worst nanny city in the USA.

Can you pull it up on the cameras?

Outdoor speakers and surveillance cameras were impossible to keep working.

If it really gets heated our office has a panic button, security cameras, and we are prepared to protect ourselves. 

I would also run a sewer line camera and see what that looks like.  

That's one of my concerns but some Airbnb hosts are taking the initiative and rehabbing houses, putting security cameras, etc, etc, basically improving the street, they're definitely helping Detroit be a safer area, less blight.

That's what everything gets hung up on.And yes, if you get another clog there a camera look is in order.
