We love our cctv here. Popped into the local newsagents because we had ran out of milk this morning and saw they had popped up even more cameras. Store can't be more than 1000sqf but I counted 16 inside and 3 more outside, never mind the ones I probably missed.

I did retail as a part time job go get through uni and was blown away when I learned the true reason. You think its an arms race with thieves to stop them stealing, but its your fellow traders your competing with, to make everyone else appear a softer target in comparison so they don't even bother and hit someone else.

Every store in America has them aimed at the employees, plus maybe a few aimed elsewhere purely for liability reasons.

They have insurance for theft. The cameras are for a different purpose.
