The Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) has its strong and weak points. The advantage of a CCTV is that police can track people when crimes are committed. For example, if a bank gets robbed, as there are many CCTVs around the bank, the police can get a rough idea on how the robber looks and thus could seek public assistance on tracking the person down. The CCTV could also make the criminal think twice if he sees a CCTV in the area he is planning of committing the crime at.
The disadvantage of a CCTV is that robbers could use them to their advantage. They could place a CCTV on top of an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and look at other people’s pin number when they are punching in the numbers, then use their pin number to get hold of their money.
