Thursday, 25 February 2010. CCTV Image Magazine CI-37. Security Media Publishing Office. Labels: cctv image magazine. Friday, 5 February 2010. Criminal cash used to fund CCTV.

Under the Proceeds of Crime Act. To buy CCTV cameras for residents. 2 While the cameras can be recorded onto VHS tape, that is presumably only on-demand ...

Monday, 24 August 2009. CCTV in Second Life? If you thought you couldn't go anywhere without being captured on CCTV, you may just be right! Now it appears you aren't even safe online, in the virtual world of Second Life. Thousands of people have built entire cities in Second Life and even blue-chip corporations have got into the action. Now CCTV consultant Simon Lambert. And best of all, if you don't like it, you can scrap it and start again, with nothing lost. You can read about my visit to Simon's cont...

CCTV Image: Birmingham puts camera plans on hold - at what cost?
http://cctvimage.blogspot.com/2010/06/birmingham-puts-camera-plans-on-hold-at.html
Monday, 21 June 2010. Birmingham puts camera plans on hold - at what cost? Residents of two suburbs of Birmingham are up in arms over the installation of over 200 CCTV cameras in their area, and now the case is beginning to draw serious national attention. I’ve spoken to a number of officials from Birmingham Council, the Safer Birmingham Partnership and the West Midlands Police. Given the situation, it’s perhaps politic that the three partners in the system met and decided to put the system on hold.

Tuesday, 29 June 2010. Sometimes I just have to scratch my head and say "Huh? Surely no one can be that. The latest source of head lice, so to speak, was a piece in the Scotsman.com. Good article, nothing to complain about here:. Ministers attack tougher rules for security cameras. The government's plans for stricter regulation of CCTV came under attack from Tory backbenchers and a former Home Office minister today. It was CCTV which identified the 7 July bombers, he said. But he said: "CCTV use has deve...

Friday, 18 December 2009. Big Brother Watch is watching you. It never fails - you get up in the morning, determined to do some real work, only to find that someone has dropped a spanner in the works. The spanner in this instance is a “study” by an organisation called Big Brother Watch. Into the “explosion” in CCTV cameras in this country. It used Freedom of Information Act requests to ask, how many CCTV cameras are controlled by local authorities. The figure is questionable as the CCTV User Group. The ov...

CCTV Image: Radio 5 Live debates: Cameras or crime, you choose
http://cctvimage.blogspot.com/2010/08/radio-5-live-debates-cameras-or-crime.html
Friday, 6 August 2010. Radio 5 Live debates: Cameras or crime, you choose. Radio 5 Live hosted a call-in this morning about CCTV. Overall it was a balanced presentation, with the usual rhetoric issuing from both sides of the debate. On the one hand, CCTV is a step too far. On the other hand, we feel safer with CCTV and besides if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear. There's a small (very small) contribution from yours truly near the end of the programme. 24 January 2011 at 15:07.

Friday, 6 August 2010. Cameras to be turned back on in Birmingham. There are reports this morning that the controversial cameras in the Washwood Heath and Sparkbrook areas of Birmingham will be switched on despite objections from some residents.
