Home > Camera phone pictures -- harmless fun paving the way for covert video surveillance
August 31, 2005

Camera phone pictures are easy to capture and fun to
take. Most of us leave the house with a cell phone anyway --
why not leave with a phone that does more than just make
phone calls? However, camera cell phones aren’t just a
convenient way to always be able to take a picture. Camera
phone pictures are increasing our exposure to covert video
surveillance.
Already in Great Britain, high resolution camera phone
pictures qualify as images recorded with a security system.
A person who uses this kind of camera cell phone for
surveillance must have it registered as a closed circuit
television (CCTV) device. Almost like a hidden camera, a
camera cell phone can capture an image unbeknownst to the
subject.
Camera phone pictures can be used to positively identify
criminals in the act or to capture any suspicious activity.
As their use becomes more widespread, camera phone pictures
will act as a sort of backup to the preexisting security
system of a store or office building. Your customers may
provide you the most valuable security possible in the form
of camera phone pictures.
Camera cell phones that provide crisp, high resolution
images are slowly becoming available on the United States
market. Right now, you can purchase a few kinds of one
megapixel cellular phones in the US.
Camera phone pictures will have a huge impact on covert
video surveillance in the next couple of years. Right now,
camera phones are a convenient way to capture the scene at a
party or a ball game. However, it will not be long before
these specialized mobile phones are used by law enforcement
officials for investigative purposes. Camera phone fun is
paving the way for camera phone surveillance.
