Undisclosed Integrator #1
I am pondering approaching a trailer park where an employee lives, he says there are theft issues there, someone actually stole an aluminum 30ft mast from under his house some time ago. Cameras at the entrance and exits, and covering many roads in the park. Possibly give each resident an option to view the feeds on their own computers or mobile devices. As the cameras could be tasked to only look at the roads and not someone's door (unless they requested it), maybe there wouldn't be many objections (except from the thieves that live there).
