CCTV should every street have one

There are two types of CCTV, Type one is a fully remote 24hr a day recording unit which can either be a Dome or a for a better word, a camera not dissimilar to a motorway camera.

Type two follows basically the same principals as above, but with one difference it is monitored 24-7 by an operator.

CCTV costs money! were does this money come from!

Ultimately every person in the borough pays for the CCTV in the borough in which they live, and as such the responsible authorities have to for fill a criteria and demonstrate that there is a need.

Regardless of which type, there are limitations,

There are many people know who have some sort of video camera, ask any one of them have they ever missed a shot because they were not facing in the right direction, and at some point even a professional will answer yes.

So if the answer is yes does this show best value for money?

CCTV has a place but it is a tool which only has a use when integrated along with other well proven methods of operation, whether it is crime or crime prevention, So before a CCTV camera system in any area is put in place, as already said, there is a criteria to be followed, as there may other ways of addressing the given problems in that area!

I pose a Question, how many cameras could we do with out if we all worked together?
