It is the goal of this blog to monitor pertinent news articles, and make comments which will hope to shed light on how CCTV and related technologies can be used effectively.  From my research, I have gained enough insight to make recommendations which can help city government and systems integrators make more informed decisions regarding their surveillance camera systems.
