New to the site, figured I would ask the first real question I have. I am from the Vancouver area and that is where I generally explore, mainly rooftops and cranes. Ive been running into more and more sites with cameras lately and I was wandering how other people deal with them?
I generally try to find some form of blind spot for entry and work around them but when push comes to shove I just pull my hood over my head, look at the floor and walk past. Good idea? Bad idea?
Any input/advice welcome.
Cheers

I tell myself that no one's watching them, that probably they're only recording (if that) in case something happens.
A hood over your head might make you look more shady than no hood.

That does make sense, you are probably right. I see what your saying about the shady factor, and I guess at the end of the day why would having my face on camera matter as long as Im not stealing/damaging anything at the site.
Much appreciated.

Except for the fact that it incriminates you for trespassing/break and enter..

The one time I have dealt with cameras, someone was watching and they did in fact call the police. Blind spots are key to getting past.

*SOME* cameras can be temporarily blinded using dollar store lasers .. but this can cause security to investigate if noticed. If the power of the laser is too high, you can permanently damage a camera.. so error on the side of non-destructive... even a really bright light can cause glare and blind a camera..

I've walked onto two sites with cameras, one of them multiple times without a care in the world and nobody noticed. But then again, this is Toronto.
One day I got a good camera.

Ive noticed that here as well. Very rarely will my 'suspicious' activity draw the attention of security when I am in view of cameras. I have extensively explored hospitals, office buildings and secured apartment complexes where they have lots of security cameras and I can honestly say I dont think ive ever been stopped by security unless they spot me in-person.
I think the camera systems are more for retrospective and reactive security rather than real-time monitoring.. but I cant rule that out. Perhaps I have just looked like i was supposed to be there or maybe I was just lucky.,

I don't know about the security companies in Vancouver but in Edmonton they use a program thats constantly analyzing the footage for a human silhouette. If it does it highlights it and sets of an alarm to be verified.

Kabbalah is an undramatic tradition that requires great patience and stability. One of the reasons for this tempo is that everyone has to mature his potential gradually and thoroughly at his natural pace. In this way his life's work unfolds at the right moment in his own and the cosmos's time.
