The document discusses the goals and potential benefits of CCTV systems. The goals are to reduce crime, reduce victims, and understand how offenders view CCTV. CCTV could help observe behaviors and intervene to prevent offenses. It also discusses identifying people from their gait rather than faces and understanding movement intentions. The author wants to research how to deploy CCTV legally and respecting human rights, as well as what types of recording are acceptable.

5. Why CCTV? Understanding identifiers such as gait (other than faces). Seeing and understanding movement an intention more generally - perhaps using ideas from Direct Perception of JJ Gibson BLAZE AUTOMATION CCTV

7. Why CCTV? Not to look at Undergrads ability to recognise faces from CCTV, neither live, nor via video nor stills Not to assess non-professionals’ ability to use CCTV for identification, nor understanding of what is seen on the screens. BLAZE AUTOMATION CCTV

8. Why CCTV? I have carried both quantitative and qualitative research for a variety of customer groups, and funding bodies. Interested most in the European Model of problem centred research, and multi-disciplinary groups seeking solutions together. BLAZE AUTOMATION CCTV
