Most of cities the use of CCTV’s in public places in being popular which help in reducing crime many people, welcome this system for improving public safety while these oppose and believe that use of cameras in public places. However, in my opinion, advantages of using these devices in public areas to reduce crime and are more than its disadvantages
To initiate with the key benefit of these devices in public places is that carime can be stopped before its happening and they can be alert .for instance, undeveloped and developing countries installation of cameras is taken place in bank automated teller machines and at all the big malls these cameras also used to restrict the happening of any illegal activity criminal can be tracked by using these methods they can arrested .Moreover, If any crime will happened. proofs will be served and justice can be served to victim.
Another advantage of CCTV’S, the traffic Control and maintained the road safety. Then no one can break any rules and regulation. Apart from this, police easily track that criminal person and police can 24 hours eye on the law breakers. For example, undeveloped countries electronic challans are given to the people who do not follow the traffic rules of Surveillance. having surveillance around will not only give the people a feeling of relief and safety but will make criminals think twice before doing any harm to the property.
Furthermore, However, drawbacks of vides cameras cannot be overlinked because CCTV’s can be expensive and managing the CCTV System can also be expensive and CCTV Camera’s are Small in size and can be broken easily. Apart from this, they include privacy concerns, as continuous recording lead to misuse of personal information. Moreover, technical issues such as and system failure, hacked sometimes data can be loss also, stop crime from occuring they can only record it.
In conclusion, although use of monitoring cameras can be against the privacy of citizens yet the benefits of such device cannot be ignored they can be useful for public to catch criminals on terrorist who put harm to lives of people. Therefore, I believe that public cameras system should be encouraged for the safety of people and these are more benefits of these which outweigh drawbacks .
