Escpecially when taking trains at night. wah, lau, the heat the crowd and the smell from the banglas. It's like I'm not in Singapore but in some other country.Originally posted by elindra:Bloordy hell. I don't want some stupid CCTV. They have CCTV at the train stations also cannot find out how they person fall down or jump down onto the tracks. I want new trains!!!!!!!! I'm sick of the non-existent air-con in the trains!
Maybe they think they can make a 'blackbox' for the train so that they can record everything. Most likely when it happens, it will be "Oops, I forgot to turn it on"Originally posted by the Bear:uhh.. what good is a CCTV if a terrorist has already blown up the bloody train?
I think Banglas smell better then those China men.....Originally posted by av98m:Escpecially when taking trains at night. wah, lau, the heat the crowd and the smell from the banglas. It's like I'm not in Singapore but in some other country.![]()

They can install cctvs till the cows come home but they hire morons(underpaid disgrunted not very smart people) to man/monitor the same cctvs so its as good as not having any.Originally posted by the Bear:uhh.. what good is a CCTV if a terrorist has already blown up the bloody train?

We lost a whole batch of expensive IT equipment at my workplace and the cctv was pointing directly at the place they were stored!!! When we asked for cctv footage they said the same tape just keeps getting recorded over and over again so by the time we got to it the footage was already recorded over. When asked why the fuck they do that, we were told its expensive and troublesome to do it properly.![]()
hence the need to be able to retrieve footage.Originally posted by the Bear:btw, a person paying attention at ONE screen can only do so for about an average of 10 minutes before losing concentration...
they got security guys looking at about 12 screens each for an 8 hour shift...
think about it

I see cctvs as more of an "after the fact" tool for investigators, rather than prevention.
Cos high-tech toys sound more impressive and they always think technology is more reliable than humansOriginally posted by the Bear:in terrorism, "after the fact" is way too late...
CCTVs are useless...
the fact that there are crimes, shows that CCTVs don't deter..
was talking to the senior management and a few semi-sentient lobotomised retarded chimps disguised as "security experts"
they seem to think that by throwing money at technology and installing more CCTV cameras without increasing the people monitoring or training more people to use the equipment is good enough...
when asked how much the "systems" were, i did a quick calculation for them.. it's much cheaper to hire a bunch of TRAINED and ARMED security people than it is to install some worthless but expensive high tech toys..
but then, the "experts" went for the toys...
Yah yah yahOriginally posted by elindra:Cos high-tech toys sound more impressive and they always think technology is more reliable than humans
