Sure they work. They capture what they are supposed to capture. Trouble is, the quality is so bad, no one knows who they’re capturing in the first place
just seams a bit strange that people are being attacked mugged broken into and who ever is doing it must vanish ???????????
I remember reading that Wrexham cameras had been responsible for around 25000 arrests since it was started up in 1997.So that cctv does work.
As a licenced CCTV operator I can assure you that it nowhere near as easy to track someone on cameras as it appears to be on DCI Banks, Law & Order UK and so on. Most of it is down to luck, intuition and, dare I say it, stereotyping.
So few establishments these days are still using tape on a loop that hasn’t been changed in months and therefore is producing images of a very low quality. This is why you’ll often see images published in appeals that are quite frankly almost useless.
