Abstract

'In today's security-sensitive world, citizens are challenging organizations like retailers and building management companies in court for failing to properly maintain security and/or surveillance systems to ensure their protection. If an organization has cameras installed and evident, they have provided the "intent" to protect. However, if the cameras in place are unable to capture clear detailed images for investigative purposes, then liability issues arise. The individuals who are taking this position are winning in court. The best defence is a High Definition surveillance system that utilizes megapixel camera technology to capture the best image quality possible, leading to higher rates of arrest and conviction and better overall protection.'
