probably if they switch them on. I would guess the current ones are switched off...

Counts for absolutely nothing unless they can develop a forward thinking maintenance culture overnight.

They need to outsource the maintenance and upkeep of these.  
They could do the same with the police, the Army, in fact the whole damned government should be outsourced to someone competent.

 

Jesus would have been born in Thailand but they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin!

Can also detect bombs?  

Loads more hilarious videos on Youtube, coming soon 

I guess it saves the BiB getting off their asses, out of their police boxes & doing some actual, real time law enforcement

They almost always work when they are installed, they just can't seem to keep them working (deliberately or by negligence, pick a number!!).

I used to work in Aussie monitoring the street CCTV cams. I did this for 2 years and not one camera failed. They are either buying cheap shit cams from China or stuffing them up when they are installing them.

LOL, pick a number!...........

 

The issue is the lack of a maintenance culture mate.  Mai bpen rai  pretty much covers it.

and several years ago Pattaya added thousands of cctvs but many were never connected or set up to be monitored, and many are of such bad quality as to be useless or the video archiving and retrieval system is not working

They might as well use dummy cameras and pocket the difference.

might even work !

 

... if you either get the guys monitoring the screens to wake up or put their Samsungs aside ;-)
