CCTV cameras take many forms, some of which are unobtrusive and barely noticeable.
BENEFITS OF CCTV

CCTV ACTS AS A DETERRENT
Clearly visible security cameras and signage which warns potential offenders of surveillance is an effective deterrent. Safer Spaces reports that Cape Town and Johannesburg law enforcement officials endorse CCTV systems for crime reduction purposes.
CCTV IMPROVES LAW ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE TIMES
When surveillance cameras and security systems are supported by dedicated off-site monitoring personnel, they can immediately report active incidents to law enforcement. This helps law enforcement and private armed response units to be deployed to the scene before criminality escalates.
