snoop1130 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 All eyes on YOU: Pattaya’s state of the art CCTV system watches the city’s every move Read a news story about necklace snatch or a gang of pickpocketing ladyboys in Pattaya and invariably there will be something about how the suspects were apprehended after cops checked CCTV footage. On Monday, the Pattaya City Facebook page gave a rare insight into the thousands of closed circuit television cameras that cover most of the popular resort destination. There are now thousands of CCTV cameras in Pattaya, which were installed as part of a government initiative to link 367,000 CCTV cameras throughout Thailand by the end of 2019. Dubbed the “Third Eye” the cameras help to act as a deterrent to crime, as well as quickly helping to resolve existing cases by helping to provide much needed evidence needed to crack a case. Cameras have now been installed on many major junctions, street corners and other important locations throughout the city, including the beach! The cameras are monitored from the central control room pictured with footage accessible to the police and local authorities.

emptypockets Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 No deterrent factor at all. If they want a deterrent factor make the cameras 4 foot by 4 foot with very large signs on them. if people can't see them there is no deterrent factor at all. Bit like speed cameras etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I just can't understand how in Thailand, every single time a foreigner is a victim of crime, the cameras were not working. Are they getting the 199 baht ones from Lazada, or is that an easy way to say that they can't be bothered to take the matter further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onera1961 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I think somebody decided to keep an eye on all those brothels (fronting as bars) and their farang/Thai pimps (bar owners/illegally working farang managers) giving opportunity only to Thais and denying equal opportunity to African ladies.

Seth1a2a Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Gotta admit it's becoming a guilty pleasure ....... In general cctv (public and private) has solved quite a few mysteries of the Pattaya Universe so far, so there's no turning back to the old days of artist renderings. I Just hope they don't catch me scratching my @$$ someday and post it all over facebook and youtube................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can help in solving some crimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I think that system anythingleft? referred to was the one that didn't have footage of suspects of Erawan Shine bombing some years ago. Could be wrong. What could be off here? Lack of maintenance not enough staff and/or staff too busy on social media to look at CCTV feed Putting cameras in must have been a cash cow for certain people.

In the old days they would get away with it. Not necessarily silly as history proves. It all depends on how rich and influentual you are. Just imagine a certain deceased godfather's son killing someone in a drunken fit. Do you really believe the cctv cameras will be working? No, they won't, and we all know it. And let's not forget that the massively expensive cctv system for Bangkok - a few years back it was found that 60% were not working, and history once again points to the same happening here in Pattaya in a year or two. Sorry mate, but confidence in the police and assorted authorities will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
