windows)
Major incident recovery plans (not a lot of buildings and towns
have this)
Home systems – ring doorbells – problems appearing because
of privacy
Most CCTV is used for a different purpose then intended, such
as CCTV on a shop is there to protect the shop however it
might be used to find a criminal who walked past
Areas of interest – intelligence available
2 men stealing jewellery on Christmas, using alarm blockers
to get into the transit vans, never been caught, whole of
Chester had CCTV cameras, found the car with a partial plate
on one camera and then found full plate on AMPR camera
