this is only true on newer machines, some of the older ones in our
town really do have outside cameras...for the internal ones,
an application of hairspray works nicely to fuzz the camera but still
permit viewing of the screen..i *have* repaired these things!

of course if you hook some chain hooks up to the unit and try to
pull it out like one redneck in this town did, then i suppose the
cameras would'nt matter (the internal alarms would have to save the
day)
