Abstract

This study examines the most common video surveillance applications currently used by private entities in public spaces. Through literature review and content analysis (Leedy and Ormrod, 2005) the paper examines: monitoring, facial recognition, inclusion of video in larger databases, tracking, and security applications (Davis, 2005). Purported benefits of these technologies are aligned with potential privacy intrusions. A personal decision tool provides readers with a process to evaluate their own feelings about video surveillance and privacy.
