A surveillance camera and privacy can never go well together, however closely inter-related they may be; the most important reason behind this being the fact that the use of cameras is considered by many, and rightly so, an intrusion into their privacy and private space. The other side to this point of view is the fact that surveillance cameras are one of the most efficient means to keep a close watch on secured buildings so as to quickly identify any unusual activity and thereby abort any sinister plans by anti-social elements, for instance. However many criminals are bypassing the systems’ ability to act as a form of identification by simply wearing masks or keeping their backs to a camera. On the rare occasion new agencies can provide a full picture of a criminals face, it is often marred by lighting or simply the limitations of a camera posted at an odd angle.
