No-Brainer

Car and home breakins are on the rise in Churchill. They can't have surveillance cameras as that might violate resident privacy. But, why not motion detectors. They have a security guy on the premises 24/7. Why not make all the premises covered by motion detectors that are armed between (say) 12 PM and 6 AM and give the security guy a handheld device that'll tell him where the action is? I think it should be possible to make the motion detector detect the size of the object that's moving - so you can correctly say "cat" or "man".

I volunteered to setup and online group that residents can use to keep track of incidents. Need to get to it.
