The companies who manufacture, sell or install security cameras are going to be busy...

If I were a business owner, university administrator or government entity I'd sure be looking into installing and monitoring more security type cameras...Crazy days we are living in...

Of course, I am biased as I am familiar with such devices and their use.

Cameras that can be stuck anywhere and last for hours are available. Even in an apartment, they are invaluable for keeping yourself safe. I am about to figure out how to put one in our garage so I can keep an eye there as well. (Garage locks are pitiful, for the most part.

The police used footage from it a couple of years ago when a person went door to door here pretending to be a home health care worker and managed to steal a lady's purse after being let into her apartment. They identified the individual as someone who had previously done the same thing in an adjacent state...I don't know if the criminal has been caught or not...
