I hope it's a stranger and not one of our employees or owners... that will make for some awkward break room moments.
That IS great news! I wish you luck! If it's an older security system (that hopefully records), they probably are using S-VHS tapes, and they should have several weeks worth (we always suggested 1 month worth) of tape archived. They then re-use and record over those tapes, so it's imperative you keep on that company!

If it's a newer designed system (that hopefully was desgined w/recording) they most likely are using a DVR and it can be designed with nearly infinite parameters (several months+ worth) of recording before running out of hard drive space (storage).

GOOD LUCK!!!

Word. Thanks for the info. I asked about how long they store tapes/data and the owner said that was not an issue; they back it up and keep it for years, apparently. The only question is whether there is a camera pointing in the right direction and if they got anything useful. This could end very well for me and very badly for someone else.

What a disappointment!!!! Did they have a camera aimed in your direction or no? Malfunctioning camera? etc? Did they just tell you no footage or were you able to review the tapes with them?
