To record people's reactions we put up some signs saying ' these premises are under CCTV surveillance '
One was put up near the N3 bus stop on a tree. People looked at it while we were putting it up. But once we were done and new crowd came in they missed to notice it.
The juice center guy jokes "on a bus stop people wait for the bus they constantly keep looking if the bus has arrived they won't see the poster" way to lift our spirits! When asked how he felt being monitored by a camera, giving us an obvious look he replied that it would be good for the safety since everything will be recorded, and he too is going to install a camera in his shop so that he is not accused of theft of gadgets that students leave at his shop.
We went back to the bus stop to ask the man who constantly stole quick glances at the poster. Turned out he didn't understand what it said since he didn't understand english. Not only should it have been bigger and stuck in a place from where anyone could see but also in different languages. If they buy it or not is secondary to acknowledge it is primary which didn't happen.
Taking extra measures to stick the poster in the right place we asked around if the bus stop was crowded since it looked deserted and after receiving a green light we stuck it. Big mistake we should have know crowded meant six people to them. The teenagers at the bus stop told us people won't take it seriously and that it was a safe space anyway. Even the owner of the bakery store Swati thought it was a safe place and cctvs will make it more safe. It's quite hard for me to view it as a place to hang around at night as it is located at the backside not that anyone can see what's happening and again no lights.
I asked my friends if they noticed anything on the park gate a notice maybe but no,none of them had. My roommate even laughed after seeing it.she didn't think it was possible to install a camera in such a place.
The guy who recently robbed a laptop from someone's pg even looked in the camera. People get caught and are let off after some time. No one paid much heed to the fact that there might be
cameras watching their every move.
