VANDALISM

Similar to graffiti taggers, there isn’t a specific demographic profile of vandals. Most commonly, they are adolescents that believe this crime is just a “harmless prank” without considering the safety hazards and financial burden they are causing. There’s no clear explanation to this behavior and could be a result of many things such as stress, anger or even just boredom.

School vandalism is especially increasing across the country.   In one night, vandals can destroy campuses, steal valuable equipment such as computers, band instruments or even copper wiring from air conditioning units.  When schools are vacant and unmonitored, these campuses become easy targets for criminals.

The deterrent features of the FlashCAM is especially effective in protecting these properties like schools or unattended construction sites.  The images that our customers typically see when downloading from their FlashCAMs are of the criminals looking at the FlashCAM, and the next image of them running off, stopping them in their tracks even before they had the chance to strike.
