What is a common issue with video surveillance systems?

A common issue with video surveillance systems is that stakeholders often have false expectations regarding their capabilities. Many individuals assume that installing a video surveillance system will automatically enhance security and effectively deter criminal activity. However, the reality is that while these systems can serve as useful tools for monitoring and documentation, they are not foolproof solutions. They often do not prevent incidents from occurring, and their effectiveness may be limited by factors such as camera positioning, lighting conditions, and the responses from security personnel or law enforcement. This misconception can lead to inadequate security measures, as stakeholders might neglect additional necessary security protocols or fail to respond appropriately to security incidents, believing that the surveillance system alone is sufficient.
