CCTV cameras mounted on walls look reassuring, but they’re only useful if they’re functional—powered, recording properly, and pointed at the right places. In many buildings, some cameras are dummies or stopped working years ago, but nobody bothered to check.
By asking the society or noticing screens near the security cabin, you can see whether footage is actually being monitored or stored. If something goes wrong—parcel theft, vandalism, stranger loitering—working cameras give real evidence. Dead ones just provide decoration.
Real security isn’t about gadgets on walls; it’s about gadgets that actually do something.
