Howay! CCTV To Tick You Off

Howay! CCTV To Tick You Off

By Piers Fawkes on April 12, 2007

British councils plan to install speakers in its CCTV so remote controllers can tell those naughty hoodies off, the BBC reports:

“Talking” CCTV cameras that tell off people dropping litter or committing anti-social behaviour are to be extended to 20 areas across England.
They are already used in Middlesbrough where people seen misbehaving can be told to stop via a loudspeaker, controlled by control centre staff. About £500,000 will be spent adding speaker facilities to existing cameras.
