The CCTV security systems installed in major thoroughfares
provides traffic officers a clear view on traffic problems while
on public places, banks, hospitals, malls and other vital
installations can deter crime incidents, provide the police with
leads and help citizens feel safer. CCTV systems mostly deter
property crimes and robberies. However, it may not catch all
crimes because they may occur outside the field vision of
cameras in more deserted areas. Fortunately in most situations,
when a CCTV system is in place, criminals generally shy away
from these monitored areas fearing prosecution since these
recorded images can be used in court.
