I was at work, bored, as it isn't even slightly busy because of the weather, just looking round. I then counted I could be seen at the counter by 5 CCTV cameras. They're all in mysterious black domes so you can't be sure where they are looking, but I do know they all work. I'm not sure whether it is comforting or not. The security controllers are all nice though, so I don't think they'll be zooming in on me scratching or eating at the counter too often.
Later on, I was standing in the entry/exit to the service yard and I was looking around waiting for my lift home, and I counted that I could be seen by eight cameras - 6 of these the mysterious dome type, one fixed, and one motorised big thing. I did feel quite comforted by this, because if something happened to me or anyone in the area, you'd bet one of those cameras saw it, and hopefully the controller, who could get some immediate action.
So overall, I'd say I like CCTV but don't like the idea of them shouting at you (old story I know but I only realised just how many cameras there were)

Also through boredom I have counted the number of cameras I could be seen by when at work. There are 4.
We have 64 fully movable cameras in our store, each one in a black dome thing.
They can be quite fun to play with.
We have the same kind of dome cameras on our buses, however they are only the black dome part and not the holding arm as seen in that picture.
None of the cameras are looking at me (the driver), but as a passenger, every section of the bus is covered by CCTV, including the exterior.
Also, as part of a union agreement, these cameras can NEVER be used against a driver - only to identify members of the public, help understand any accidents or provide backup for the company, should a passenger put in any suspicious claim.
Also, look at my profile picture, you can see one right at the back in the middle.
Al, the store local to me recently had a whole new floor put in and they have a camera for every single aisle as well a lot of the black dome ones. However because the 2nd floor is quite high, you could reach up and touch them. When I walk in I always try to get a glimpse at what the security chap is looking at from his 'Remote Monitoring Station' but the screens look blank unless you are virtually on top of them, I'm guessing that is delibrate.
Arriva driver, I've seen them on buses round here, quite a few are hidden inside the bus stopping signs (can see small holes in them!). Good idea overall. Do they record onto hard drives or tapes?
As Pizza Hut, we don't have any CCTV ourselves, but the centre has an extensive collection and they are pretty good quality I think because we get the occasional memo with a photo of banned shoppers (chavs basically). I also know it has been used to provide evidence in a case where a child was burnt with coffee from McDonalds.
Yes, it is deliberate since there are too many customers like yourself who will try and see what is on the displays.
One of the screens usually contains the complete store layout with each camera location and number. Perhaps that's mainly what they don't want people seeing, although you'd have to study it for ages to try and work out if there are any blindspots.
Is the cctv for each day stored on a server or is it deleted as I had a car crash outside a store thanks
