In 2019, we started to install, very gradually, a number of high-definition security video cameras on the property. This was in response to our ever-increasing insurance premiums and some vandalism.
Happily, the expense we incurred has paid for itself by recording people doing damage to our gates, fences, etc. In some cases, this allowed us to get the damage repaired at the cost of the companies whose employees caused it. In turn, that meant that we did not have to go to our insurance, which would have further increased our already astronomical premiums and deductible. Moreover, in one case, the video captured by one of our cameras was used as evidence in a trial by placing the culprit for a double murder in the area as he turned around at our gates at the time of the murders.
However, one of the benefits we hadn’t thought of, is that our security cameras would record also stuff that has nothing to do with “security”, but capture the animals that share the property with us, and what they’re up to when humans aren’t around.
We have collected a number videos and they are listed below. The digital size of these videos would overwhelm the Forgottenhill.com site so we have stored them on YouTube, but in such a way that they aren’t accessible to the general public, but only to those reading this article on the Forgotten Hill website.
Enjoy!
