Arrests and Identification

·        A surveillance camera helps prevent crime in several ways. The first is by increasing the possibility for arrest. A police officer through facial recognition can identify a criminal caught on tape. If the criminal already has a record, software can be used to match the criminal's face to an electronic database of mug shots. In police precincts where this software is not available, the surveillance camera video can be analyzed and matched up to known criminals. These criminals can then be apprehended and caught.

Conviction

·        Surveillance cameras are used not only to help police find criminals when they are caught on tape but to convict them. A surveillance camera video can be used in a court to identify a criminal. If the camera catches them on tape, committing a crime, the evidence is nearly indisputable that the suspect is indeed guilty. Surveillance cameras can also be used to get search and arrest warrants and to identify those who were at the crime scene so they may be used as witnesses in court. This helps to bolster the prosecutor's case because it is good evidence.

Scare Tactics

Since cameras are used by law enforcement to catch and convict criminals, having one at your business or residence can be a huge deterrent. This alone can reduce the level of crime at any business. A criminal who knows he will be filmed and possibly identified by a surveillance camera will often choose another target, or decide not to carry out a planned crime at all. Surveillance cameras can also be used by security guards to monitor different parts of a building. This could lead to the prevention of a crime in progress and is another big deterrent for criminals.
