The earliest efforts to study the results of this frantic investment were spearheaded by the Urbaneye project. The results of their European-wide investigation has shaped the way the security industry understands CCTV and crime today. The matter became more complicated in the early 00s.
Clearly, the rise in private deployments makes any attempt to get a straight figure futile. Reports between early 00s and put forward somewhat similar numbers: between 11 and 15 people per CCTV camera.
Unfortunately, this is even harder to figure out. Country- or city-wide estimates are reached by extrapolating from a small set of measurements. We can sort of work with official figures to get a qualitative analysis. Hackney and Wandsworth appear to be the most closely-watched boroughs of London. But the mechanisms behind the distribution are almost inscrutable; Lambeth has the lowest camera count, despite being literally across the street from Wandsworth. In addition, a FOI request revealed that there are roughly 15, CCTV cameras deployed in the stations of the London Underground network, and another 7, cameras deployed in the trains themselves.
The figure is almost stagnant compared to the similar numbers released in These numbers are based on information that is publicly available and related to CCTV cameras whose installation has to be disclosed to or often by public and local authorities. They account for between one and two orders of magnitude fewer cameras per person than you would expect to find.
This suggests that the vast majority of CCTV cameras in London are privately-deployed — not surprising, but worth putting in perspective. Between government policy and the supporting local administration, there are few public areas in London that legitimately need CCTV surveillance and are not already under surveillance. What we still see, and expect to continue to see, is continued growth in the private sector, and increased adoption of advanced features, such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition ANPR and facial recognition.
If the original growth models hold, population growth projections would suggest we can expect to see an additional 6, — 10, CCTV cameras every year for at least another 7 or 8 years. Even without precise figures, we could see the sharp increase in CCTV cameras deployments all around us.
Any way of describing it seems to fall short in terms of style. In London it has been estimated that in excess of , CCTV cameras are in use — putting it in the top 10 countries around the world for deploying the security measure. With a population of around 9,, that makes the chances of getting caught on camera in the capital pretty high.
In fact, that means there is one camera for every 18 people. The exact number of CCTV cameras on the streets of London and across the UK is difficult to pinpoint as official records are not kept for the installation of every security system. Homes, businesses, police and councils all install CCTV cameras — and while police and council CCTV camera installation is closely documented this is not usually the case for private homes and businesses.
The proliferation of CCTV cameras is solely down to their role in monitoring crime and behaviour. CCTV cameras are a major deterrent for all crimes and forms of anti-social behaviour.
The more recent figure, based on a more in depth analysis, put the top 0. This meant, that a whooping 1. According to the British Security Industry Association there are between 4 million and 5.
