Surveillance

Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched? Of course yes, today surveillance has become yet another common tool in security and safety methods but however we find it out of place at times, you may not actually feel comfortable once you knew that you were watched by a group of security personnel who monitor the actions of a shopper in a large shopping mall, Of course it has its benefits like safety and security as we find out there a number of shoplifters, frauds, and theft.

Today with immense growth in technology new devices and CCTV’s have replaced the use of actual manpower or rather one man or a group of people keep watch over a widespread area by just sitting down staring at images on the monitor. It is even made possible to monitor the actions of people through the internet and satellite phones, making it more convenient and portable.

Uses

  • To identify any sort of theft or fraud in shopping malls
  • Trespassing private and unauthorized areas
  • Sports, with regard to rules and fair play
  • To monitor the actions of a person or a group of people
  • Traffic and road safety
  • Prisons
  • Safety lockers, banks and other privately owned business.
  • Schools and colleges
  • Residential Private property, Apartments.
  • Parking lots

These are just a few areas where surveillance is put to frequent use , today it is growing and spreading as technology moves forward to more hi- tech and better equipped instruments to monitor such security related threats.

At times you may never see a camera, you might actually be looking into it, and moreover most people do not like being watched, Residential apartments today have these cctv surveillance devices planted all around the area for the safety from theft and burglary. Some places like movie theaters and class rooms in schools do not require surveillance as it tends to alter the behavior of people who are present within that space once they notice they are being watched.
