We have exterior security cameras. The cameras are at both the front and back porches. They record the front and back porches, driveway and the front and back yards. We have access to recorded footage at all times. We receive notifications from the exterior cameras 24/7. We have a zero tolerance party regarding unauthorized parties, illegal behavior and allowing unregistered guests onto our property.
