However studies also suggest that rates of violent crime are not affected by the presence of security cameras. In these cases, video footage instead becomes an invaluable tool to track down suspects afterwards. While the UK government invested large sums to roll out CCTV during the s, over the past decade many councils have been cutting it back due to lack of funds.
The number of private and domestic cameras has risen dramatically over the past decade as they have become cheaper and more widely available. Use of security cameras has increased in commercial settings as well as in private ones.
For industries like construction, which are particularly vulnerable to petty crime, installing a video monitoring solution can help to reduce the likelihood of these crimes occurring. The more cameras are installed privately, the more that issues around privacy and right to information come under scrutiny. One of the key issues around the rapid adoption of private cameras is who becomes responsible for the footage, especially if a crime takes place. There are too many blurred lines.
This includes only keeping footage for as long as it is needed, after which it should be deleted, and clearly informing people on-site that security cameras are in operation.
People also have the right to request footage of themselves, if they wish to see it. The work was very neat and tidy, once ever The team were very professional, polite and helpful. The picture quality of the camera's is 1st class. Very satisfied with the end result. Would highly recommend CaughtOnCamera. Punctual, polite, discussed and Very neat work, tidied up after. Thorough explanation and "talk through" of the features of the CCTV, set up on my phone.
Great team work. I am very happy with the installation. I would recommend Caught on Camera and in particular Matt and Billy, without hesitation, to any future customers. Having just written this review, I checked the camera. At the camera clearly showed a "fly tipper" - just hours after install! Footage down loaded to the Council for action!
Jay from Caught on Camera updated our current cctv system professionally and expertly, when the original installation company said it couldn't b He talked us through the update with instructions we could understand. Can't rate him highly enough. Very fair pricing considering he could have told us the whole system needed replacing.
Very trustworthy. I am so very pleased and delighted with my new CCTV system. From the original visit to quote and spec to the installation Jason and his team of expert Professional, courteous and such a clean and tidy installation.
Best thing we did was get CCTV installed, and these guys sorted it out for us. Fantastic service from start to finish, highly reopened, With crime on the rise these days we all need CCTV! Just installed new cameras around the house, Bill and Shev were very good, professional and friendly - they did not rush and took time to explain and I thought getting CCTV was going to be complex, stressful and prohibitively expensive but Caught on Camera UK made the whole process incredibly smooth The appointment was booked quickly with no issues, no changes and I received confirmation of the date and cost.
The installation was painless and the gentleman could not have been more helpful and efficient. He set it up faster than expected and explained how to use everything really clearly. Paying was simple and again really friendly service. Just want to thank the team! Wanted CCTV to add some security to our home, the team were fantastic, quick installation of 3 cameras all fitted with p The team talked us through the app and the system.
Had some issues with the camera sensitivity and Jason resolved these over the phone with no hassle. Would recommend these to anyone. Well done and thanks all. I'm based in Battersea in London.

We are operating as normal, but all our teams are now using appropiate PPE, safe distancing, and keeping up to date with Government guidelines - please speak to our office for more information.
What we still see, and expect to continue to see, is continued growth in the private sector, and increased adoption of advanced features, such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition ANPR and facial recognition. If the original growth models hold, population growth projections would suggest we can expect to see an additional 6, — 10, CCTV cameras every year for at least another 7 or 8 years. Even without precise figures, we could see the sharp increase in CCTV cameras deployments all around us.
Any way of describing it seems to fall short in terms of style. Conservatively, we have times more CCTV cameras than we had almost twenty years ago. CCTV cameras need to be purchased and installed, but they incur maintenance and electricity bill costs throughout their lifetime.
And the legal formalities are not always trivial. The rapid growth of CCTV camera deployment in London is testament not only to the growing security concerns, but also to the efficiency of CCTV cameras, or at the very least to their price-performance ratio. Indeed, existing evidence paints a fairly diverse picture of CCTV efficiency. For example, studies have shown that CCTV installation resulted in significant decrease of crime rate, but only in some spaces. In order for CCTV cameras to be efficient in crime prevention and investigation, they need to be:.
The last two points have proven particularly stingy. Cameras mounted around corners, in bad ambient lighting conditions or with insufficient resolution have frustrated countless investigations over the years. CCTVs owe their success not only to their accessibility and reliability, but also to their flexibility. Concerns about privacy or unnecessary spending have also been raised in all this time, especially with regard to surveillance in public spaces. These concerns are certainly not unfounded.
During the last years, public authorities have recognized this problem , and there have been some attempts to prevent unnecessary CCTV deployment. However, many privacy rights advocates consider these efforts to be insufficient, and warn against increasing public surveillance.
The current consensus of the security industry and public authorities leans towards responsible deployment, by encouraging private enterprises and public authorities to deploy CCTVs only where there is a legitimate need that cannot be fulfilled through other, less intrusive measures. The good news is that this additional filter is not only a good deterrent of unnecessary CCTV deployment, but also a good deterrent of unnecessary spending.
