    Ring camera/ doorbell— happy to have

    Cameras with very high resolution continue to come down in cost. Likley in the future, videos of crimes that todays cameras do not capture enough detail of a perp's face or license plate, will be able to zoom in and maintain enough detail to be usable.

    You will require videos presented on a laptop when you take it to code enforcement. Have it all on a laptop ready to play. Do not expect the code enforcement office to supply equipment to play your presentation. But it does sound like you have a lot to present. The repeated drainage clogs that...
