It is a known fact that advertising is made to attract
our eyes. Marketers work very hard to plant visual memories
in your mind. They use anomaly phrases, rhetorical
questions, sexy images and ironic text. There are many
reasons why this is done but the biggest reason is that it
works. Our eyes are often caught and our brains captured for
a moment while we digest the advertisement. Since the
advertising world has done such a good job in making us look
and think, there is a slight hesitation in our gaze and
direction of sight. This of course is the world’s best time
to snap a shot or grab an image of a human on a surveillance
camera.
One of the best methods of insuring that images are
captured is to place them behind power advertising
promotional signs. So often surveillance cameras are put up
on corners of buildings or on ceilings. We saw after the 7-7
London Transit Bombings images of perpetrators used by
police investigators to track down the other links of
suspects and perhaps even prevent future attacks. As we
study the human eye gaze innate characteristics and the time
of visual recognition, we see that some images take the
mind-eye visual registration a second extra. This is enough
time to catch a really good image of each passer by for use
in face recognition software to use for searching databases
of “Watch List” humans who are most apt to be problematic to
our civilization.
Often if a person of ill intentions is casing a location,
doing a dry run or preparing for an evil act, they will
avoid cameras when they see them. One concept is to put up
cameras in plain view, which are dummy cameras or decoy
cameras. When someone avoids them, they will look away
causing an anomaly or someone who has something to hide.
Then as they look away, we would be wise to hide a hidden
camera in a somewhat shocking advertisement, behind a glass
or plastic encased ad. As the person looks away, he or she
is hooked on for a second longer on the image. Bingo, we got
the image even if they attempted to avoid every camera in
the place. This would work in Stadiums, Shopping Malls,
Board Walks and Airports. Think on this.
