When you see secuirty cameras in stores, are there people watching us?
I was at Walgreens today, and I saw this little computer screen. It was a security camera. I started to wonder if there were people watching me right at that moment. I started to dance and do crazy stuff. And I waved at it! lol I asked my mom if there are people watching the camera, and she said YES.
Is that true??
If that is true..then I bet they were laughing their pants off!!!
depends on the store. some have teams of people monitoring every camera. some smaller store do and some don't
smaller store more often than not record the cameras and typically when the manager is in his office he might have a monitor.
So dance your heart out .. even if they're not watching, you might still end up on You Tube )
With the increased rate of security threats, CCTV has become a very dependable source of security. Closed Circuit Television or CCTV has become an important part of areas like shopping malls, banks, military areas etc.
Although there is a debate going around for the use of this camera in public places; yet no one can deny the effectiveness of this device. It is true that the extensive use of CCTV in many areas is hampering the privacy a lot, but it is also a fact that it helps in preventing around 70% of business loss. Let's check out the reasons.
It is estimated that around 80% of business losses are caused due to employee theft. So, how can cameras help you out in this regard? By warning them that every action they take is being continuously being monitored, isn't it? It will also keep the burglars away from your premises.
Using CCTV is also beneficial for proper customer service. It will help to monitor the process of how your customers are being treated. It will definitely boost up the workplace morale.
It is estimated that one of every ten customers is a shoplifter. It is also true that most of the burglaries are done by unprofessional people. So, use of such a camera will definitely keep those people away from these unethical activities.
Vendor theft is also a very serious security concern. Keeping the track of every action can help you prevent a lot of problems. It also keeps a record of your logistics.
Using a CCTV security system will definitely reduce the losses in your business. It is not possible to keep an eye on everything all the time. By investing in CCTV security systems you will be making an intelligent business move.
Wish you a fruitful future with a secured Business!!

Yea some low life broke into my flat stole my laptop (i got a spare ) and he stole a 100 quid and my tobacco(now thats low)
Option one : Leave the polie to there job, catch him, and blatenly with this system in england he would proberly get no more than a good warning, no sentace and copper said i wont get my stuff back cus hes proberly sold it
Option 2: i have his face on cctv, i have good contacts, track him down, and smash his hands up with a hammer so he cant even lift a cupa tea, empty his house off twice what he robed me for and have no sleepless nights
what would you do?
I'd buy a gun, wait for him to return, stage a new break in, kill him and then continue my life because I live in a state that recognizes the "Castle Doctrine".
But of course I'm in America and us evil gun toters are like that.

Vision Techniques CCTV System helps Greater Manchester Fire get a prosecution in court
The 16-year-old boy started an attack which saw a large gang throw more rockets, bangers and flares at the officers' fire engine, a court heard.
The fire crew, who were called to deal with an unauthorised fire in a Tameside park, were forced to take cover in the vehicle until police arrived.
The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, threw a banger and then a rocket which exploded just yards from fire officer Leon Dally next to Millennium Park, in Hyde. He then grabbed his crotch and 'gesticulated' at firefighters as a gang of about 30 youths surged towards their engine.
Mr Dally said he had experienced 'nothing on this scale', adding if a firework hit nearby houses, it would have been 'catastrophic'. The youth denied one charge of throwing a firework in a public place, but was found guilty by Tameside magistrates after a trial. He will be sentenced in July. The attack came after a call out to a fire in the park, on Great Norbury Street, last year.
CCTV film of the incident – viewed in court – showed a flare was thrown under the vehicle, while rockets and bangers exploded near the engine. Police arrived and arrested the youth. He admitted grabbing his crotch and 'gesticulating' but denied throwing fireworks. Mr Dally said he was certain the boy in court was the one who threw the first two fireworks. But Karina Lyon, defending, said several wore similar clothes and Mr Dally could have been mistaken.

i have cctv in my taxi .What are the laws ??
i drive a taxi ,the owner has installed cctv .I think its a good idea .The problem is ,one camera is ponting at me ,one is at the customers in the back .It records sound and vision .The local garage has the contract to install the cctv,all data stored on a memory card .It records 24 hours ,im starting to feel uncomfortable ,this thing pointing in my face .All my phone calls will be heard ,all my converstaion .what rights do i have ?? I have been informed that all the data is scramblked ,and only when an incident happens will it be unscrambled and used in evidence .I am 100 % sure the cab owner has this software ,and watches daily in his house ?? would you feel comfortable ?? am i being stupid??
it is a good idea in this day and age, when you read of the attacks on cab drivers. i think its law that you have to have stickers stating there is cctv in the cab. if you are getting private phonecalls during work hours then take them outside of the cab then you can be sure he doesnt hear anything.

Security Camera Systems, Video Surveillance Systems or Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Systems are all common names used for electronic systems comprised of security cameras, video recorders and other equipment used in viewing and recording events in facilities and more. These systems are primarily used for protection of assets and personal safety which include the following:
Perimeter Surveillance
Access Control
Vehicle Number Plate Recognition
In addition to the most common uses of CCTV Systems, as mentioned above, law enforcement agencies and large organizations may require this technology to gather evidence and/or add legitimacy to decision-making processes. To a lesser extent, even small and medium size businesses may require the use of CCTV Systems. If you look around, you'll find installations in court rooms, identification rooms, community centers, detention centers, factory floors, banking institutions, amusement parks, and even in corporate board rooms.
Depending on the purpose of your CCTV installation, you may find that your surveillance and protection can be enhanced by integrating with other security process and systems such as officers at access points and perimeter patrols. Use at business parks, hotels, hospitals, golf estates and theme parks immediately come to mind.
Real Time viewing of CCTV footage is necessarily associated with a Control Room or a Security Center. Multiple cameras will be linked to a control room where a security operator will monitor incidents and assess appropriate responses required. There has been lots of progress specific to camera activation upon detection of movement. This allows the security operator to monitor multiple cameras at once with immediate alerts for areas requiring attention. Alternatively, you may have the need to look at footage after the fact, after it has been recorded. Monitoring staff on a factory floor could be an example of a typical application.
Although the first CCTV security cameras and systems were limited and costly, today's solutions are applied to use in medical imagery, robotics, traffic control, marketing, production line monitoring and much, much more. These systems fall into three different types: analog, digital, and network.
Before deciding on the implementation of CCTV in your home or designated workplace, it is important to identify the purpose of the project as this will determine what equipment will be required. There's no sense to buying too much or too little equipment to fit the job. You should think about answering the following questions:
How important is real time viewing? That is seeing the current images?
Will the CCTV System be backed up by a control room?
Will the CCTV System be linked to other networks and/or security monitoring systems such as alarms?
Is the CCTV System being applied as a deterrent?
Do you anticipate the need to integrate with other security systems such as security guards, a digital door lock system, or an industrial monitoring system?
Is the CCTV System required for the gathering of evidence?
Will CCTV footage be required for criminal procedures if need be?
Is the project of clandestine nature?
The success to any type of implementation, especially when it involves technology is a solid definition of people, process, and product. The importance of establishing synergy between your security policies, system functionalities, and employees (or family members) cannot be over elaborated. Disregard for this step can lead to misconceptions and disillusionment. Without proper planning and coordination, between people, process, and product, you could face catastrophic results, especially relative to the results you seek and the financial implications they could cause.
A classic example of the importance of synergy between policies and systems is an automatic fire alarm system. This system is designed to detect the unwanted presence of fire by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion. Whether at home, in an office, or a factory floor, well documented procedures signal a series of actions you take upon hearing (or seeing) fire alarms. In addition to evacuation, the alarm may summon emergency services, and to prepare the structure and associated systems to control the spread of fire and smoke.
It's important to note that a fire alarm notification appliance may use audible, visible, tactile, textual, or even olfactory stimuli to alert occupants of potential danger. Audible or visible signals are the most common notifications and use of speakers to deliver live or precorded messages is common.
Although the product selection is vast and there are hundreds of suppliers, rest assured there is an ideal system with even its minimum configuration to meet your financial and security needs. Design your surveillance system and rest assured that you have a 24 hour, 7 day a week watchdog looking after your family and business.
