. The company's 2023 Home Security Market Report found that 72 percent of U.S. homeowners have some type of security system installed, and it's estimated that 10 million Americans use a Ring doorbell. But just as we have access to high-tech surveillance systems, so do thieves., Alhambra police officers are urging Southern California residents to scour the outskirts of their homes after a hidden camera was found on a local property.
The incident occurred on Monday night. Local police responded to a call of an attempted burglary. At the scene, a hidden camera was uncovered, and the targeted homeowner said their alarm system had also alerted them of an attempt to open a kitchen window earlier that day. "Unfortunately, camouflage cameras are a tactic being used in residential burglaries. These cameras are strategically placed in discrete areas, such as bushes, to allow thieves to gather information about homeowners' daily routines to burglarize their homes," explained police.
