I'm not really sure what you're getting at. I don't have cameras as a crutch for an anxiety disorder, I use them to solve property management problems. If there is something that needs to be addressed, I do so. This may or may not require my involvement depending on the issue. If a camera breaks (which isn't common), I order whatever parts that may be required if any, and fix it when convenient.

A broken camera gives you exactly the same information as a camera that doesn't exist: zero information. If this gives someone enough anxiety that they would need to drop everything, they probably need therapy.
