Webcams Don’t Always Paint An Accurate Picture
Google Nest, Alexa tethered to Ring Stick, Reolink, Wyze Cam, Arlo, Canary Pro or whatever your DIY home security camera system may be are great for surveillance, BUT they fail at telling how deep the snow is in your driveway or how close your snow removal operator came to your garage door.
We’ve experienced a two to three-fold increase in the number of snow removal-related inquiries originating from remote webcam viewing this season compared to last year. As we follow up on these inquiries we’re finding that over half of these inquiries are the result of a misleading perspective created by the camera’s wide viewing angle.
We take all inquiries seriously and do our best to follow up with each one. However, please consider that web cams often provide a misleading perspective and that there is no substitute for in-person observation to formulate a complete picture of your home’s snow clearing performance.
Was My Driveway Cleared?
Because snow removal companies work during the early morning hours homeowners often do not hear the equipment clearing their driveways.
