Audio alarm option built into the camera to scare away thief
This is a suggestion for Arlo. My cameras, that are installed about 7 to 8 feet off the ground, have been stolen by teens probably as a dare to their friends. I imagine one helps boost the other up high enough to reach it & they yank it off. Although, the video shows them before & during the act, their faces are mostly hidden by their hoodie outfits and the police detectives declined to pursue the incident.
But I recovered my cameras because they were in range & I could make out the location to find them from the still transmitting video.
I cannot mount the cameras much higher without significant costs. Also, it then would be difficult for me to change batteries or make adjustments.
To help prevent theft: suggest that in a future camera design it would have a built-in alarm triggered if someone gets near the camera at about 2 ft distance or moves it. I am thinking of the loud sound a typical smoke alarm makes!
Perhaps a loud noise from the camera would scare away the prankster/thief.
