If you are home, you get the time to see what's obviously a hoodlum and prepare your gun before they break in. And if you aren't you get some footage to possibly give cops a lead to catching them rather than literally nothing.
The problem is the people who need them rarely can afford them or do the diligence to actually follow through, while the people who do have them live so far away from crime its almost a joke.
It's not like cops respond to calls in shitty neighborhoods, so buying cameras is largely redundant. You need actual deterrence like iron window bars and reinforced steel doors, shit no HOA will tolerate because it'll lower your property value.
Shitty neighborhoods are often adjacent to meh to middle neighborhoods, who are the people who'd mainly need these types of things. No one in a ghetto is gonna splurge on shit like this, but a "we are doing okay" suburb where the cops themselves live will gain from it.
