I wonder how they come up with these stats. I have a security camera on my house. I don't know how that would be captured in the statistics at all.

- close04 7y agoIt wouldn't. That is surveillance for your private home, not the city. > We focused primarily on public CCTV—cameras used by government entities such as law enforcement > we have also tried to find the number of private CCTV cameras in use. However, as this isn’t possible for every city, we did not include private CCTV in the overall totals.
- ourmandave 7y agoBut police have asked people to submit security camera video if something happened your camera happened to pick up.
- close04 7y agoPerhaps but I was just pointing out that's not reflected in the statistic above according to the article (see quotes above). In many parts of the world you are not even allowed to point your private security camera at a public space. In these cases you already know that legally there's no private camera constantly watching you.
