But what I am surprised by is the very large number of these new Bosh CCTV installations. Just on the two sois I use to get to the local park (4minute drive away) there are 7 cameras. Yes we followed you all the way. It seems you are a good boy and can relax when walking. However, stop picking your nose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all should be aware, what is happening in China now is heading towards complete surveillance with facial recognition and is part of a wider system where all aspects of your life is plugged into the system and there is a points system, if you are a model citizen you can get up to around 700 points but if you are outspoken about the government or maybe a criminal then you will not have many points which then restricts what you can do, for example if you want to travel by train or plane to another city the system can block you from buying a ticket. so, it is a form of control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Not uncommon method of operation from dictatorial governments. Want to keep an eye on the people. Now of course CCTVs can be very helpful in solving crimes. Not so helpful in preventing crimes as the cameras don't physically stop anything. And if little fear of reprisal or punishment, then trying prevent many crimes with threat of recording events becomes a moot point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting programmes on youtube about China's camera sysytem and how they are linked into everything about you Yeah knew about this BBC report and the guy not laying more than 20 minutes. Totally disgusting and the same way Chiang Mai is going. But how can these government freedom killers be stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also be very useful in prosecuting traffic violations, if the government ever gets to that. It can also be useful for rolling out the same kind of surveillance and population control systems which have made China the envy of the free world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those frome 7eleven and shops i think is of better and why not.. Thai police have solved many cases by just following the perpetrator through cctv bs. what you get is a blurry shadow and you very rarely see faces. you can often make out clothing, height, weight etc, race if your lucky.

Mavideol Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 it's more and more like China here in Thailand..... as for the cameras, since they want to copy China they must have a great discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assurancetourix Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Everywhere ... Everywhere..where ? Not enough on the main roads of Thailand ; Motorists who know them slow down before reaching them and re-accelerate as soon as they are passed below. I ride a MTBike about 10,000 km a year, I never see one on red dirt or cement roads ... or any on asphalted secondary roads where the majority of accidents occur. Besides, no more cameras than cops on these roads ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are they are made in China for Bosh, thus, carry a little more value because of the name but maybe not excessively. Also, if you are using the correct spelling as seen on the cameras, it may be a case of trickery. The real Bosch is spelled like this. My Sanyo cell phone lasted a whole week ! ????

Qright Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I used to think what does it matter if you're being watched if your not doing anything wrong or illegal, but governments can change what they consider wrong or illegal to be, see Hong Kong. Maybe questioning why there are so many cctvs might be considered subversive and unpatriotic. Remember lockdowns and people getting fined, it creeps in gradually!

Good deterent along with powerful solar lights outside. CCTV surveillance is common place practically anywhere there's people and has been for quite a while. However, in Thailand, poor maintenance habits usually means the majority of cameras don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
