My car was hit today at my school between 11:30am and 1:05pm in the parking lot while I was in class. It is on the back of my car so I didnt notice until I got home. I called my school to ask them if they could look at the cameras and see who did it and they said they cant do anything because I left. Im really pissed cause I only have liability and I want to file a police report so they will be forced to pull up the cameras. What do I do? I know for a fact that my school files insurance claims/police reports for accidents in the parking lot because it happens often. Am I out of luck JUST because I went home? This does not seem fair. It was clearly a hit and run, and they could very well see it if they just brought up the cameras.
the police are useless!!!!! they wont do anything because i left campus

File a Police report immediately. Remember to mention the security cameras to the police and have them mention it in the report. Ask the officer you report it to to ask the school not to destroy or tape-over that specific tape. Most recordings are on a loop and begin taping over the old stuff as soon as 24hours later, but usually 50 hours or more so they can look back after being gone all weekend. Ask the police officer if he/she can assist you in recovering a copy of the tape for insurance purposes.
Tell you insurance company the same. Mention the security recording to them also. With the insurance and the police asking I'm sure the school will be more abliged to help.

Installing video camera to watch parking lot outside home. cheap?
sodone!
Recently my car was broken into and a neighbor's car was just stolen last night. I want to put a camera in the window facing the parking lot and turn it on at night. I'd like to record the evenings events each night. How can I do this on the cheap? What do I need to buy?
Answer
Is there power available where you need the camera to be or are you planning to run a cable to the camera? Oddly enough, "wireless" cameras" use more wires than wired cameras...
If you are willing to leave your computer on 24x7 (using all the hard disc space to record the video), then install a "security camera card" in the computer. Most would likely get a security DVR and not burden their computer with the surveillance camera work (and hard disc drive space).
How's the weather where you are? Most electronics have cold/heat/humidity ranges they need to operate properly, so if your area gets snow, that will probably be too cold for most security cams - a heated housing can be used. These are expensive.
Simple:
4-channel standalone security DVR and a single wired camera. Mount the camera under the eave of the building, run the cable to the DVR. The DVR is inside. The wire will carry the video signal to the DVR and power for the camera. Budget $500.
