In some areas, security cameras can be seen as a driver or pedestrian approaches an intersection. Most often times the intersection is considered a high traffic intersection or a dangerous intersection. By placing the security cameras at these intersections, it is easy for authorities to determine specifics on traffic related accidents, or injuries. In some cases, the security cameras actually slow drivers down.
The security cameras at different intersections, allow the determination of how an accident occurred, who was at fault, or what happened prior to the accident, as well as if the accident involves a hit and run situation, often times the tag number is recorded.
To some people, they don't feel as if security cameras should be placed at intersections. However, what should it matter if they are not breaking the law or doing something wrong? Then they should have nothing to be concerned about. Yet, with this in mind, these same people could be involved in a traffic accident where a security camera is located and it be determined as not being their fault.
In any case, these people can't have it both ways. Security cameras are put at these intersections for a reason. Not only to protect drivers and pedestrians, but to also obtain information on vehicles involved in traffic accidents and then leave the scene. These security cameras appear at intersections with a high volume of traffic and can become congested during certain hours of the day.
This could also reduce the number of 911 calls that would initially flood the security boards at the local police departments when an accident does occur at specific intersections. If the security cameras are set into place police and emergency vehicles can be dispatched to the intersection in many cases a lot faster.
Security cameras at intersections can also prove effective if police officials are in pursuit of someone who has broken the law, and they are picked up on the security cameras, this allows dispatchers to possibly aid in the pursuit and the stopping of the vehicle. However, this is still in a very new process and in a lot of smaller towns and cities there are no security cameras at intersections. They are being seen in bigger towns and cities across the United States. But it is a concept that is catching on quickly, and I believe we will see security cameras at intersections in more places as time goes on.
Authorities agree it is easier to determine the true fault of an accident, as to having to chase down witnesses and others who were at the intersection where the accident occurred. In fact, a lot of people won't come forth and say what they seen. They don't want to be witnesses, therefore making it even more difficult for authorities.
With these security cameras in place at intersections, they often times can get tag numbers as well as see the actual accident through recorded images and still images from the security cameras. It can only help traffic and the accidents that occur at the intersections.
Recently, companies that are moving large amounts of currency are now installing security cameras on the trucks that have long distances to travel. However, these security cameras are so small they cannot be seen outwardly. You would literally have to be looking for these security cameras and even then you could have a problem finding them.
Major companies are not willing to take the risk of anything happening to these trucks. Considering they all carry large amounts of currency. Some of the trucks have additional security cameras installed on the outside of the truck as well.
The trucks that leave places such as banks or financial institutions are literally monitored by technicians in a remote location. These trucks are also monitored when leaving places such as casinos and other establishments where currency is transferred in large amounts. Furthermore, the drivers of the trucks have no idea where the security cameras are actually located either. Different numbered trucks have the security cameras positioned in different areas.
This is a safety precaution for the drivers as well as the cargo they are carrying. The technicians monitor the trucks until they reach their destination. People rarely have any idea these security cameras are even on these armored trucks. However, that is the whole idea. These security cameras also have tracking capabilities should the armored truck stray from its route. The security cameras also have recording capabilities as well. Drivers of the armored trucks do know that the security cameras are on the armored trucks, however they are not told where.
The installation for these security cameras is primarily easy. Just as removal of these security cameras is easy as well. The reason for this is so the security cameras can be continually moved around to different areas on the armored truck.
Some computer trucking companies are taking advantage of these remote security cameras also, the only real issue is the cost of having the technicians available to monitor the security cameras as they move from one destination to another. Though so consider the cost well worth it when the cargo they carry is costly should something happen. It basically depends on the individual company.
However. With these new security camera systems on board the armored trucks, the companies truly believe it will fend off those who are intending to attempt any kind of theft or robbery. Most times the attempt causes loss of life and the one trying to rob the truck is harmed. If they can see the security cameras on the outside of the truck, not to mention on the inside of the truck, they may stay away. This is what armored truck companies are hoping.
They carry large amounts of currency and with the aid of on board security cameras they know the attempts as well as actual robberies will inevitably go down. Hopefully these companies will not be the targets they used to be in times past, as different acts of violence, and the crime rate has gone up so much in the past few years.
