A new company went out live today called Internet Eye`s. Apparently, with numerous surveillance camera`s around, and nobody to monitor them, these cameras are losing their credibility, but, enter the above online company, whereby for a subscription, you can monitor the surveillance cameras at home on your computer, with the chance of winning cash prizes up to £1,000 for spotting a thief etc, and phoning the shopowner. Now isn`t that more exciting and rewarding than watching all those soppy repeats? Of course, the civil liberty groups (do gooders?), are out in force, and whinge that it should be left to trained professionals. Yes, maybe, but at what cost? I assume that it`s costly for business`s to pay professional`s to sit on their arse 24 hours a day with maybe quiet days/weeks and not really earning business revenue? Of course, when these civil liberty or whatever groups start criticising, they never really have an alternative solution. Well, no one likes to be spied on, especially thieves, but is this an alternative to the current situation with surveillance cameras?

Oh don't - I had to watch hours of surveillance tapes as part of management checks when I was with the Civil Service fraud department. It made me brain dead.............actually it could explain a lot! I think I'll be giving that one a miss!

Actually Jeane, about 5 years ago when our firm was doing away with the security guards, after all that mass immigration through the tunnel finished, it was taken over by us, and I done just one 12 hour night which was overtime, monitoring about 20 tv camera`s, and had to press an acknowledgement button as to whether a camera had detected a rabbit or a gust of wind. I never volunteered for that job again, though this sit at home one sounds better. Be good doing our local Tesco one`s at home, see what all our neighbour`s are buying, and make sure they`re paying for it.
