Nisarg Swaminarayan, 29, was eating dinner near his home in New Jersey when his Dropcam app notified him that his sliding door of his home had been opened. Swaminarayan checked his Dropcam security system cameras and saw the burglar via his iPhone as he broke-in his home and stole his camera equipment. While the room was pitch-black, the Dropcam cameras are night-vision, which allowed Swaminarayan to see the burglar's every move.
Swaminarayan said he watched as the invader grabbed his electronic equipment, so he tapped into one of the camera’s loudspeakers and screamed. “I simply told him, ‘I can see you, please, leave my home,’” he recalled.
The burglar was scared away and thanks to the saved camera footage, authorities were able to quickly track down Oliver Alavez-Luengas, 22, who is being held in a New Jersey jail on $25,000 bail.
