Many convenience stores and different stores and restaurants are now placing signs on the entrance door or in the window somewhere specifying that security cameras are in use. A person cannot go into the establishment without seeing the sign unless you were blind. So, do these places actually have security cameras or not? Security cameras are common in most places now, and in a lot of circumstances, different designs of security cameras can easily installed to where they are hidden.
This raises a big question to those coming and going into these places. Although, in most cases the establishment probably does in fact have security cameras. While in others you actually do see the security cameras. In places like at the entrance or near the cash registers, and it is obvious in some convenient stores simply due to the fact that you can actually see the security cameras at gas pumps and in the parking lot area. In all fairness, it makes people wonder, and it will definitely tend to warn off any one intending to commit a crime at that location. With the use of security cameras they will think differently. This protects the establishment, the employees, as well as others who are in the establishment.
However, this could be a problem if the one intending to commit a crime sees the sign yet after viewing the establishment or looking it over sees no cameras, might continue on to commit the crime anyway. Therefore, if there are in fact no security cameras in use, the individual will ultimately succeed on his or her mission of committing a crime.
So are these signs on the doors or windows of the establishments that state security cameras in use effective? That would depend on if they actually in use in all reality. The crime rate is high and unfortunately in some cases those who intend to commit a crime, don't really care one way or the other. And if you do in fact have security cameras in use, there's a chance the individual that committed the crime can in fact be caught. If not, the establishment is the one that suffers. Regardless, you still see more and more of these signs letting you know there are security cameras in use on the premises.
Unfortunately, as time goes on, the idea of crime just simply going away, isn't going to happen. Therefore more signs are being placed everywhere. Department stores, gas stations. Restaurants, and even more places. You never know if the security cameras are indeed in use, and in some cases I am sure it does defer potential predators from actually attempting to rob these places.
However I don't feel like these signs should be in place at a home, unless in fact there are security cameras in place. To me, it is too risky for the family, as well as their belongings and property are concerned. Security cameras whether out in the open or hidden are a good way to protect your family and yourself. I can see using these signs in establishments that are considered public places because people are all over, however in the homes it is a different situation all together.
Everyone that has ever been into a bank knows there are security cameras and surveillance cameras all over the place. And yet, some people still make an attempt to take money from the tellers. Even if they managed to get the money, with the use of the technology in security cameras and the fact that most of them also record as well. Security cameras at the least should let these people know they won't get away with it.
Eventually, they will get caught. That's partly the reason for the security cameras in the first place. Security cameras are getting higher in the technical field and are able to zoom in or out, and even make the still images focus better if the reception isn't as clear as one would want it. Most of the security cameras in a bank are all working together and can be alternated from one spot to another. This is called panning a room. They are designed after a few minutes or seconds to turn and continue their surveillance of the bank, the tellers, as well as the outside ATM's and the drive thru.
Some banks have monitors where the cameras are actually all connected into a network system showing each individual security camera view. While others have security services, either way the security cameras are always closely monitored for surveillance. It amazes me how ignorant these people can be. Usually the security cameras are reset every evening if I have understood the way security cameras work in banks and financial institutions. These security cameras have tapes that are dated. Then a new tape is set for the evening hours, and the process is repeated once again in the morning hours before opening. There is also a security camera around the atm's available at the bank, and of course still more security cameras in the drive thru area.
Some banks use security cameras as people are leaving as well. It is actually on the outside area of the entrance, so either way one of the security camera is going to get a shot of you. There's no way around it. If a bank or financial establishment is in fact actually robbed, the first thing authorities ask for is a copy of any security camera tapes or footage the bank or financial institution might have. They then take these tapes or footage and review them to see if they can get a good image of the suspect. And in most cases, there is enough footage caught on the security camera to make a positive ID on someone or those who committed the crime if there were in fact more than one individual robbing the bank or financial instiution.
Some security cameras cannot even be seen. These security cameras are around the area where actual funds are kept. And they are also in different places that were not revealed to the public at all.
Banks don't "overdo" it with security cameras for surveillance, however I can tell you there are many more of these security cameras in a bank than we are actually aware of.
