CCTV Security Systems
Homeowners who have CCTV security systems have the confidence of knowing they can check on their family, pets, and property. A CCTV home security system can be very useful. For business owners, CCTV security systems can help check on the volume or lack of customers, and the efficiency of the staff.
In schools CCTV security systems will deter any criminal act and help security people respond immediately to explosive situations. In hospitals, the system can alert nurses and doctors to patients needing urgent assistance.

But the privacy issue about surveillance systems is a complex one. Depending on which side of the coin you are, these CCTV security systems will always remain either an intrusion or security.
It depends on how you look at it, but CCTV systems has its many positive uses for home and business.
When CCTV security systems are an intrusion
Nobody can be too careful these days. But sometimes we seem to go too far, e.g. when you are just having dinner in the restaurant, and you have been a loyal customer ever since the restaurant opened years ago, and now you are being watched by spy cameras that do not care if you're a loyal customer or if you are planning a attack. The cameras just watch coldly and without bias.
CCTV security systems become an intrusion when you no longer feel confident even in public lavatories and rest rooms. And when surveillance is used for wrong purposes like identity theft, robbery, voyeurism, spying on the neighbors, etc, it assumes sinister undertones.
The knowledge that there is covert CCTV security systems somewhere in a public place has transformed the way people feel about themselves. It's one thing to want people to notice you, and another thing is to be stared at in secret without your knowledge. People complain that they are feeling like criminals, conscious of their very behavior when they are just out there having a walk.
