CCTV in educational Institutions???

Recently we have been hearing about and experiencing the growing use of CCTV in schools and colleges...The administration of such institutions justify their actions by saying that use of CCTVs helps to maintain discipline among students, helps in facilitating teaching learning process....but some students and teachers think it as an attack on their freedom...and hence hampers the learning environment ...

What do you think??? Please share your views...

its not a good thing at all....it puts unnecessary pressure on students....

yea i totally agree to tht i guess i'd d\freak out knowing someones watching me all day and feel real uncomfortable abt that fact.

well if it's in an exam hall it's ok but everywhere else

a complete no for me

no , its not good coz students need to have some privacy after all. Educational insitutions shoukd not try to impose dictatorship.

ya i m wid u...


i've heard the newly established top rated "Golden gate int'l college" has also got cctv in every class rooms.
any goldengate students here in this forum????
is it true???

It's certainly not good to have cctv all over the classrooms. Putting them in library, exam hall, computer labs would be good though.

i completely agree to razor blade... they should spare the classroom atleast!!

putting CCTV camera in the classroom in not good, but what is your say on my case:- I am a Liberal Arts Undergrads at White House- G.S.M. and I was told to cut my hair other wise I will have to leave the college. So, I have to cut my hair.

who will watch the CCTV screen all the time? there are lots of technical difficulties to store, maintain etc.
its just a kind of psychological warning to students saying "you are being watched !"

actually you can do anything despite presence of CCTV. but the risk is there, you can be caught in the tape.

see the video clips that kids do so many innovative acts in order to avoid being caught.

its useless argument CCTV or no CCTV.

You can take your advice from people who Google or a security professional who specializes in CCTV.

Peter Brissette: there is nothing new about the products on your website in fact there are many misleading statements. many offer 3G and IE connection.

On your website you claim:
4GB Micro SD Card for video storage (7 to 10 days)

Truth: a high resolution camera with the smallest file size will use over 15GB-30GB a day (with 40% motion) a 4GB card will give you hours not days.
