Solving Crimes With Security Cameras

The most effective defense in solving a crime is proving the facts with evidence. Wireless security cameras provide evidence against crimes that can’t be disputed against. What you see on camera, is what happens on camera. “The lens never lies.” Security cameras have been used in court to convict criminals of robbery, violence, harassment, and car accidents. Recently, in a high profile prosecution, the video footage from security cameras is providing evidence to convict a person of violence and robbery.

You can’t go a day without watching the news and hearing stories of the Craig’s List killer, Phillip Markoff. His most recent allegation is that he robbed and assaulted a woman at a hotel. There is even video footage from the hotel security camera to prove that he was at the hotel, the scene of the crime. The footage will play a large part in the case for providing evidence, and if convicted, he’ll spend up to 50 years in prison if convicted on a guilty charge. The footage from the security camera shows Phillip Markoff walking around the Holiday Inn Express in Rhode Island. The footage doesn’t show him in a hotel room, but prosecutors can prove, at least, that he was at the hotel. Two days before this footage was recorded, police are claiming that he killed a masseuse at a Marriot hotel in downtown Boston. It hasn’t been released if there are tapes from the Marriot hotel. It is likely that there would be some type of hotel security cameras in the lobby, and that footage would also aid in convicting him of the murder that took place at the Marriot.

Phillip Markoff is only 23 years old and was a med-student. He is in jail currently awaiting trial for the murders. He is being held without the possibility of getting out on bail. He was engaged to be married in the near future, and his fiancée has called off their wedding. It seemed as though he had a great future ahead of him with a promising medical career and wife. However, the evidence from the security cameras recorded evidence from the double life he was leading.

Wireless security cameras are so effective as evidence because the crimes or actions of everyday life can be viewed in real time if they are monitored. If they aren’t monitored, the recordings provide clear images. The cameras have a high resolution and provide clear images.
