I already have a motion activated camera to see who is snooping around in my backyard when I am at work.
I am thinking however, of getting surveillance cameras for my house. I have burglar bars and doors, but those only work if they are locked. If someone follows me home and sticks a gun in my face as I am unlocking the gate to my driveway, obviously, I am going to comply. There are no secrets in this ghetto, so I assume the local gang members know I have guns. So I fear them ambushing me one night and getting access to my house. I am five foot four and 118 pounds and not very physically imposing. Also the gun I carry is only a .25 auto, and I carry it in such a way as to avoid detection in a stop and frisk, so a quick draw is out of the question. So if someone draws a 9 (the current favorite weapon of 18th Street Gang) on me, I will have to comply.
I think it might be useful, if some gang members are in my house to tell them :"Oh, by the way, there are six cameras that have been taking your pictures. Kill me, and you will spend the next 30 years on Death Row."
But all that would depend on them NOT being able to locate the video recorder. Is there some internet service that you can pay to upload video and store it, so burglars and criminals cannot get ahold of it?

I live in Los Angeles. There are no gun permits here.

If you actually believe that someone would rather be inside prison rather than outside of it, you lack a fundamental understanding of the real world.

There are no gun permits in Los Angeles. Big city cops do not like locals. They like other cops and view all non cops as the enemy. 18th Gang has 25,000 members. They are not afraid of the 10,000 members of the Los Angeles Police Department and they are not afraid of me. I guess you live in a really small town. All your advice is worthless in a mega city. Stick to gving advice to Mayberry R.F.D.

I have them at my house. Those game cams sell for anywhere from $40 to $140. For that amount of money, you can photograph people that are lurking around your home both day and night, while you are away.
Many burglars will visit a place days in advance of actually robbing a home. They want to see how easy it is to get access, and if a person has a dog or not.
Another simple thing to do is use programmable timers to turn on lights and radios at different times during the day and night. Simply tuning your radio into a talk show and having it come on a couple times a day will sound like people are having a conversation inside your home.
It sounds like you need a 44 mag in a back pack. their has to be internet service but does not matter if your dead! Get a biger gun and stop being paranoid it’s know way to live. plus Gang members like prison so probly won’t work that well. YOU can get a big DOG !
I though Ranger Bob was always snooping in your backyard?

One. You sound like the guy who asked about carrying a 25 caliber earlier. Be nice to the police and please get yourself a higher caliber firearm. Your 2 handed baby pistol is giving you no confidence.
Cameras can be computer monitored. The newest are near undetectable and cost less than the old sturdy conventional ones. . You may wireless connect them and network enable the computer. Which will even allow YOU to monitor at your work. Software controlled. No longer need a VCR recorder. Use a system that has a HDD. Like an ATT system uses. The box can even be hidden in a wall. This is all dependent upon someone knowing you even have it? Who will know to look at it when needed. Google it and you’ll find all you need.
Sounds like you are more worried about someone smart enough to disable and defeat the system? Also, able to get the drop on you? Being alert is preventive. Any system can be defeated. Make your potential assailants work for their prize. Stay alert. Carry a larger firearm and be damned what the police think. If, you ARE that type of neighbor the police want to inhabit their neck of the "hood?" Upon frisking the most they may do is seize your weapon and tisk tisk you. Get to know them. Build up a small reserve of cash. Specifically targeted to pay fine for weapon carry. Line up an attorney if you must. But, darn it. Just get involved in your neighborhood’s positive activities and the police. The good strong people will recognize and support your growing strength of character. The weaker ones who know you will have their own character toughened.
In other words? You already have the basics to fend off the 18th St gang at home. Now, work with police and community to not just fend them off. But, defeat them and take away their power. Communities are like the original 13 colonies. One colony could not defeat the British alone. Like a bunch of grapes, they could be picked off one at a time. United, 13 small states defeated the British Empire. You and your neighbors can do the same.
Plan B. be sure the 18th St gang is aware your home is a place of MAD. Mutually Assured Destruction. Be the Crazy MF they avoid. You get F’d with? Everyone dies with you. Period.
"I think it might be useful, if some gang members are in my house to tell them :"Oh, by the way, there are six cameras that have been taking your pictures. Kill me, and you will spend the next 30 years on Death Row." No, that will just piss them off and you DIE. Try MAD. You really won’t have to say anything else to them. Except if you just have to. As in "Thanks for visiting." As your home self destructs in a fireball. They don’t value your life. Don’t be stupid to think a threat will save you. Only the reality of mutually assured death will.
Plan C. Be resourceful. Find their weaknesses at take them out before they take you. Mess with the gangs heads and be invisible common joe shmoo. You seem to be able to identify them easy enough. Invoke pest control and take out the rats. Just don’t let them ID you.
Plan D. Pack and move to Arizona. Or surrender and join them.
