And monitor the movements of pro-democracy activists??????

 

ISOC already does this, both digitally and with embedded personnel.

 

CCTV not really needed other than to identify some peskly M4 school-girls to press charges.

Oh dear how sad & paranoid most people are! Do you really think that all CCTV is monitoring you, if you are doing nothing wrong?

CCTV as said by previous posts can't all be monitored all of the time, as for official places most will be monitored.

What CCTV is good for & already working is, school bullying by teachers & students, poor driving (this is something that definitely needs improvement & can be helped by CCTV immediately). 

Other areas it should benefit is illegal drugs, sex trafficking forced backstreet prostitution of minors. Theft, robbery & violent crimes such as the tuk tuk/taxi gang & other gang violence.

If you are not involved in any of the above you have nothing to worry about & are just being over sensitive & playing into the hands of criminals.

CCTV is part of every day life already & has been for some time. The only people it is a problem for is criminals and the people it benefits are the most vulnerable in society!

Get a grip & stop whinging

CCTV is used to track criminals and if you don't commit crime then you don't have a problem.

Pro democracy don't make me laugh so much!

Thailand has had democracy & can't deal with it. They can't wait for the genuine political process to take place and the country is so devided whoever is in power the other groups want to throw out before due time.

Yellow v red - red v yellow now pro democracy that are also anti royalty v royalist, whoever take stage next will have violent demonstration against them wether it is immediately or in a couple of years. It won't be peaceful democracy for 4 years, history has proved that.

As for pro democracy all the social media hype blaming police is ridiculous. The public weren't stopped from demonstrating they were stopped from entering certain areas & were forcefully stopped when breaking barriers.

Peaceful pro democracy demonstrations should be the people coming together showing numbers not pushing to shut down industry & other peoples jobs, going to sensitive areas. Show force by numbers without bringing an already ayling economy to a standstill. Hundreds of thousands of people peacefully showing solidarity is far more effective. Gather in parks public areas but let others go about their daily routine that puts food in their familys mouths. Remember you are only part of the population that thinks like you, certainly not more than 50%

They are working well in schools! You are talking about corruption and not really making sense as what is seen by CCTV is not different amounts written on papers.

CCTV helps against violent crime usually against the most vulnerable. If you are not a criminal you have nothing to worry about! 

Your post is just government bashing claiming CCTV can see corruption which CCTV will have no effect on apart from on the spot fines. CCTV has already proved effective in showing up bad police so give the good parts of government a chance to out more corrupt officials that can be seen by CCTV.

Schools, police check points will all be monitored and will benefit us & our children!

These will be very special cameras that will be able to look inside of vehicles to  detect people being smuggled into Thailand. Oops I forgot I don't think such cameras exist!

Stupid comment! They do have special equipment to detect hidden bodies inside vehicles. The CCTV can track & monitor the criminals back to source. It is very rare that the criminal masterminds do border crossings. Border crossings are done by mules wether their cargo is humans or drugs!

Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has ordered more CCTV cameras to be installed across the country, targeting roads and border areas to prevent illegal entry.

Sounds rather high tech and academic to me.... what next "a bear in the air" ?

Why not just string out electric sensors along the trails along with game cameras. Cheaper in the long run and easier to use.  

And these would be battery powered with Wi-Fi Data connections? Or would people go to retrieve the data card every month like game cameras are typically used. How many gigabytes will the memory cards be? When full will they overwrite or just stop recording? How long will it take to review the data? Is a one day/week/month or more retrieval time lag acceptable?

Your idea may have merit if all these factors are answered favorably .

 

Any way it's done it will be a massive effort and tremendous expense for a country that struggles to keep the traffic lights functioning. 

 

The only way this can possibly work is to use cameras with motion detection active that alert ready-teams that move  immediately to intercept. If they wait to finish the game/chat/IM on their phone the moment is lost. 

 

In other words, it's just more nonsense pumped out to keep people calm; it will never actually be implemented.

 

Don't rush to submit a Proposal for Funding just yet.

I was just thinking  the same. How can CCTV be installed 'along natural borders'?

The logistics for installation, maintenance, cabling/remote comms systems, power - all along the thousands of kilometres of isolated area. Not to mention deliberate sabotage by people/drug traffickers.

Prawit's talking out of his medical emergency-induced backside.

Makes me think of another Dear Leader's answer to border security.

I suppose it would provide employment for those monitoring the system.

Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan, has approved the plan to link all CCTV networks in the country by 2022.

 

Forget about a nationwide CCTV network. You guys can't link your left and right hands at all, even with 'suitable for 3-years-old and above' graphic instructions!

 

Why Prawit, cash running low, and you lot need to renew your pocket linings?

CCTV can be monitored 24 hours a day by computer and who decides who is the criminal that needs to be tracked.

There is a major difference between the CCTV monitors that many see with a sleeping guard next to it and the technology in use today.

For the record, advances in CCTV computer linked technology of facial recognition and data analytics allow the computer to do the hard work of tracking a person 24 hours a day if it has been programmed to look for them.

This sort of technology is used by authoritarian states who have targets that they feel are a national security threat.  China, a possible supplier, has extensive CCTV networks monitoring their citizens' activities.

I'd settle for two that work next to the police stations on Suk in Pattaya. FIVE motorists run red red lights EVERY change and not one cop EVER looks out of the window!

Why would the cops look out of the window? That's the job of cameras.

Could also be that a large % are fake cameras, BMA admitted several years ago that many of their cameras are fake.
