(London.CityRegions.com, July 23, 2013 ) West Midlands, UK -- New research has found that Britain has a total of 5.9 million CCTV cameras throughout its streets, and only 70,000 of them are run by British police and authorities, calling for better regulations of privately own devices. Government CCTVs make up only 1.2 to 1.7 percent of the overall number of CCTV camera in the UK.
The research was conducted for the British Security Industry Association, according to the Evening Standard. The study claims to represent one of the most comprehensive attempts to assess the extent of which CCTVs are used, and claims to use complex calculations based on available information. Those calculations are made from a number of different types of properties using surveillance cameras, average floor areas and other data available to the team of researchers.
The BSIA study says there are between 4.1 and 5.9 million cameras in Britain, stress that an exact number is impossible to determine. Previous reported date back between 2006 and 2011 estimate the number to be as large as 4.2 million, but as little as 1.85 million.
The study’s conclusions challenge the UK’s popular image as a “Big Brother” state, claiming that some CCTV cameras are misplaced and need to be further researched for better regulation. The authors believe the lack of regulation governing privately run cameras is a large concern for the country, establishing a need to enforce better standards.
