Wecams on the Border and Stopping Crime
So it’s been forever since I’ve posted on this Webcams Blog. Resolution for 2007 is to ramp this back up with some quality posts and content.
Anyways, was browsing some webcams news and came across two somewhat related and interesting news stories on webcams.
The first one is about how Texas is spending some money setting up webcams to monitor it’s border, and although it’s only generated a handful of arrests they’re looking at expanding the effort. This will be an interesting issue to watch.
The other story I ran across that I thought was blog-worthy is one about a Brazilian man traveling in Germany that via his phone and home webcam (security) system averted his home from being burglarized.
I have mixed feelings about the use of webcams becoming more and more predominant. Although it’s nice to see them assisting in catching criminals, it’s very invasive in the way of presupposing crime is going to happen anywhere. I just never expected big brother or someone else to be watching our every move. It seems so spooky and very 1984′ish.
Well that’s all for now, take care and have a very Happy New Year! …and stay tuned we’ll keep this place updated a bit more often…
