Press Release Body = The latest news to hit the markets in the field of spy cameras
and surveillance is Talking CCTV in Britain. These Talking CCTVs are to take the
crime and vandalism scene by storm. They are expected to shout orders or create a
huge noise on detecting anti-social elements or vandals when they are creating
mayhem or disorder. These talking spy cameras are to be installed in 20 areas after
a successful pilot scheme that was carried out in Middlesbrough, UK.

The test pilot that was carried out showed how the Talking CCTVs barked out
instructions loudly to litterbugs to stop littering and pick up all the dirt that
they have left behind; scolds vandals from ruining things, etc. The voices behind
the Talking CCTVs were that of council workers who were monitoring the systems
places at various locations and could communicate directly to people on the street
without their knowledge.

This scheme has drawn severe flak and criticism from the opponents and they have
termed it as Big brother gone mad. But the home ministry is of the opinion that this
project could bring in huge benefits and be extremely instrumental to bring to task
anti-social activities occurring at any place, at any time. This project has been
sanctioned a 500,000 grant to adapt to existing surveillance cameras. Mr. John Reid
quoted that the new funding for the talking CCTVs was to put the message across that
it is unacceptable to litter our streets, vandalize our communities and damage our
properties. We all pay council tax and we all end up paying when any damage is
caused to our community. School children are also being encouraged to become the
voice behind the talking CCTVs.
