  The Pencester CCTV camera appears the have gone metaphorically "toes up" with it's infra red lamps pointing to the stars and the camera endlessly rotating while also star gazing. Perhaps it's searching for the answer to life, the universe and everything else. I trust they'll fix it asap.

  Probably against everyone's Human Rights to be filmed throwing up...

  never seen the point of the camera, doesn't appear to have any effect on people's behaviour.
  
  last day of the fair today.

  And like the Market Square, it's rarely facing the right way either.

  ps Come to think of it, where was the one outside the Charlton Centre looking when the culprits left after attacking Polish Pete?

  Volunteers could monitor Folkestone CCTV cameras
  
  "Volunteers could monitor CCTV cameras in Folkestone in a move to save money, the manager of the Kent seaside town has suggested.
  John Barber said the town's 43 cameras were currently monitored for about 32 hours a week.
  They have developed numerous faults and Shepway District Council has been told it will cost more than £100,000 to upgrade the system.
  Operating it currently costs about £70,000 a year.
  If approved, the upgrade would see the number of cameras reduced to 25, but featuring improved technology.
  The Hythe and Folkestone Area Partnership Against Crime has argued that volunteers could be used to monitor cameras to keep costs down..."

  Why CCTV footage is not treated the same as web-cams, I don't know. Each town could have its own portion of a dedicated web site.
  It'd be good for star gazing, if nothing else.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  that does look like the only way forward, although the cameras are only monitored for 32 hours per week the pictures can still be looked at after something has happened and possible arrests made.
