Should I install security cameras where I park my motorcycle?

In most cases, yes — a camera watching your parking spot is one of the cheapest ways to raise the cost of stealing your bike. Opportunist thieves want easy, anonymous targets, and a visible camera makes them think twice. If someone does go after your motorcycle, footage gives police something to work with and gives you a timestamp of exactly when it happened.

Be honest with yourself about the limits, though. Determined thieves wear masks and hoods, and a camera can't physically stop two people from lifting a bike into a van in under a minute. Treat it as one layer, not the whole plan.

• Aim the camera directly at the bike, plus a second angle covering the approach if you can.
• Choose night vision and motion alerts to your phone.
• Mount it high enough to avoid tampering, but not so high all you record is the tops of heads.
• Pair it with a strong lock and a hidden GPS tracker so you deter, detect, and can recover.
