Security cameras are invasion of privacy. Feeling someone watching you is not really a good feeling. Security cameras are placed even in bathrooms and dressing rooms. You know that with security cameras someone is still watching you, making you feel and not able to show your true self often. This can change your everyday life and sometimes it can make you feel nervous. I therefore say that "SECURITY CAMERAS ARE INVASION OF PRIVACY".

Nowadays we can see security cameras at every place like banks, ATM, shops and I think they are very important for security,

A Shop owner can keep eye on his whole shop just by sitting at one place. Security cameras also help in an investigation of crimes and many times it has helped to catch the criminals.

And I don't think this raises any question of privacy because all the security cameras are present in public places, so this does not invade anyone's privacy.

Every thing has 2 aspects :positive and negative both.

Having security cameras in public places can be an advantage to decrease the robbery and increase the security at public places. It an make the people working more attentive and active because they know that they are being captured in a camera.

Every coins have two sides. Alfred Nobel would never have thought that how much devastation can be bring by his invention. Dynamite were invented for construction but what we did.

In the case of 21st century's technology same thing is going on. How we are using them you can see around you.

- Well if we talk about the security cameras no question it will be helpful in every aspects in mall, in ATM, administrative places, the area which is more vulnerable, traffics etc. It gathers vital information.

- The second thing it improve the efficiency of work by surveillance. Like in private or public offices.

Now I want to talk about the negative consequences.

The first things privacy. Recently in an incidence that happened somewhere in Goa in a mall with our human resource minister Smriti Irani, she found a hidden camera in changing room. It souls be taken care.

Hello friends, I am Sumi.

In my point of view, Security Camera is well and good thing in our society but some people use this as wrong manner like hidden cameras in trial room hanger, mirror etc. , and hotel rooms. So people also have a awareness to this. To overcome this issue people who should use the cameras they need a authority from the government.

Security cameras are an invasion of privacy but I do agree crime is getting higher day by day but these cameras should be in very public places only not dressing rooms.

Security cameras are becoming a must for present scenario as, if the employees working in an office, bank etc. Come to know about any lacuna in disciplinary measures they start paying less attention on their work so for this security cameras are a must to make them attentive in there work and also for those which demand tight security and is very sensitive then use of camera is the best thing. But if talk about private places etc where it is killing the privacy of people it becomes a disaster to feel free and to do ones work properly. So it is very important to understand the need of a camera in different places differently.

Hello every one,

Security cameras may not prevent the crime on the spot, but they can help the police to identify the criminals. Sometimes it can be a strong evidence like in the cases of kidnaps. It is also useful in organizations so that employees are aware of they are being watched so that they can work without wasting more time in break times. THis makes more discipline. But these must be done without knowing to the people. Then it can work efficiently otherwise the suspects or criminals want make fun or make fools.

Hello friends. Now a days security cameras are solving most of the police cases. They are playing a vital role in some cases. And in some cases they are useless just because of their low quality. Just put good quality camera else no use.

And one more thing is that we have to change the position of the cameras because for example in ATM everybody knows where the cameras are placed and a thief's can easily hide their faces. Put the cameras in some new places where no one knows.

Security is needed in our day to day life, but it is also kept in mind that the privacy of the personal life is not interrupted by the system.
