Wireless Home Security Camera Consulting (Up to About 4 Hours)
Many people don't keep an eye open for suspicious behavior and don't recognize it though it may be all around. The mere presence of cameras reduces crime by reminding unsavory types of the accountability to come. For those who won't quit, video evidence helps to put them behind bars.
Each consultation gives you up to about four hours of distance help--to be used within a month.
Terms of Service
First, the information I share with you is not to be shared in a manner intended to help others bypass consulting from me. If you think others would benefit from my service, please refer them to my website.
Do you have basic handyman or handywoman skills, abilities, and equipment? For the camera types that require those, if you don't have the skills, ability (e.g., balance), and equipment, are you prepared to hire a handyman or handywoman (could be expensive if many cameras)?
I cannot guarantee that I will have the answers to all of your precise questions.
For example, some of the tools I can provide, I created on a PC with Word and Excel, but these may not work for everyone though there may be software online that will convert my formats to ones that will work with your computer. I can copy and paste from a Word document into an e-mail, but some of the formatting may be lost. I cannot, however, copy and paste from Excel. I could, however, screen capture the layout for you to recreate on your computer from scratch.
As another example, I use an Android phone, but each phone (manufacturer and model) has its own set of steps for some of the processes. I can guide you on some of the steps, but you may have to do some research for your specific phone.
I can most easily answer what I've already experienced, heard about, or researched. If I can easily/quickly find the answer to a new subject, I will do my best to answer your question, but if I cannot, I will let you know that it's out of my present area of expertise.
I am also not an attorney. If you want that kind of expertise, you will need to hire one.
