A study conducted by the UC Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society reveals that the surveillance cameras installed around San Francisco have
certain limitations and negative results. Specifically, in certain areas, the surveillance cameras failed to deter crime. There where some aspects that where overlook during the installation process that can and should be leveraged when installing Wi-Fi IPCAM:
1. Make sure the right department has access and controls the IP Cam. oddly enough, it’s not the SF Police Department in charge of the cameras in SF, rather, a cluster of agencies are overseeing the project. This leads to communications conflicts and diluted accountability.
2. Attorneys and police officers not trained to use the footage; You have the footage now what? Who owns it? Who does what with it? A plan on what to do with the footage should be in place before the IP-CAM are installed.
3. Poor quality of the video: SF video cameras are set to film only three to four frames per second (movies shoot between 25 to 30 frames per second); This leads to a question if the right quality is even available when footage is needed in say a court case.
The study is pretty detail and we have provided here for download!
