How important is home CCTV?

Is it really worth getting a CCTV system installed in a domestic property.
Well, after last week's announcement from the UK Government's Justice Review, it really is as police are now less likely than ever to investigate a theft from a dwelling. Either they will get a Community Support Officer to carry out the investigation, or ask the victims themselves to investigate, using their own CCTV footage. If there is no CCTV footage then in all probability there will be no investigation at all after the police have attended site.
