Who Is Watching Whom?
By Brad | March 25, 2007
Video surveillance is used in all kinds of situations and for various reasons. This is actually a rather complex area and one that has quite a history that begins with analog surveillance in the 70’s.
Video surveillance is used in train stations and to monitor major highways. It is also used as a way to catch traffic violators on city streets.
Businesses often use video surveillance to keep an eye on customers as well as employees who work for the businesses. You can be sure that banks make use of video surveillance systems because of theft situations. Other businesses that use video surveillance to avoid theft or to be able to catch those who commit theft are mini-marts and gas stations.
The insurance industry makes use of video surveillance on a daily basis. They can use video surveillance as a way to prove that some claims are not on the up-and-up. Those claiming injury from an accident or those trying to win worker’s comp cases are often caught by a video surveillance camera doing things they say they are no longer able to do.
Getting down to a more personal level there are times when video surveillance systems are purchased as a way to watch spouses. People who fear they have a cheating partner may use this type of equipment to catch the person.
Parents who leave their children with a nanny or babysitter use video surveillance systems quite often. Parents who are gone from the home are able to see exactly what goes on when they are not there and can tell if their children are being well taken care of.
Who is watching whom? Someone may be watching you at this very moment using the latest video surveillance technology available.
