Following my first article on CCTV, I did receive some feedback in private. There was suspicion among some residents that despite a functioning system, no action is being taken on incidents that is caught on camera.

I checked with the department, and was glad to hear they keep records of the incidents arising. I just received the report today. Basically, the reports arising from CCTV feed:

  1. Illegal business activity - such as illegal stalls. Among reported is DVD sellers and even one case of selling illegal firecrackers.
  2. Traffic faults such as traffic light failures, double parking, etc
  3. Road accidents
  4. Infrastructure failures such as street lights and park lighting failures
  5. Indecent public behavior, at public parks at night
