The reviewed studies on the efficacy of CCTV cameras seem to completely agree in terms of security and safety.
Rudinow-Saetnan et al. (2004) admit that CCTV has been presented as a technical solution to security
problems. To clarify, crimes ranging from serious threats to minor damage can be prevented and identified
more successfully by these cameras. In addition, Steketee (2012) points out that the use of surveillance
cameras, from the perspective of many school administrators, improves the security and the overall climate of
the school while inhibiting student misbehavior. Similarly, The Role of CCTV Cameras: Public, Privacy, and
Protection (2014) observes that security cameras have reduced the number of burglaries and vandalism.
Additionally, are security cameras an invasion of privacy? (2019) insists that one of the functions of these
cameras is to deter violence. To illustrate, a study showed that security has reported not only vandalism but
also major crimes such as gun deaths and sexual abuse. As well as The Effectiveness of Public Space CCTV
( 2009) agrees that CTTV has several benefits, one of which is a boost to safety. Thus, the reviewed studies fully
agree on the fact that CTTV is a security provider.
