Photographylife is a well-known and respected source for camera/lens reviews and photography philosophy. I think it would be very benefitial for photographylife to join with other photographers in pushing camera manufacturers toward including more security on the valuable equipment they sell.

The Northrups did a good video on this, I would recommend somehow implementing what they discussed here.

I know photographylife has done articles on camera safety and theft in the past, but I think y'all could take it to the next level by including anti-theft and security as part of your review process. Maybe it could be one of your star rating categories, or at least mentioned as part of a review with a call for manufacturers to help safeguard our investments.

Northrups' video:

(Not everyone may like their style, but the information is important.)

A way to lock a camera would certainly be useful. Not sure how much it would deter theft considering a thief could still sell the lens, unless of course a lens could be paired with the camera in a robust way.
