Security cams are they necessary?, Resorts obligation for customer safety?

Would you feel safer with or without?.What is a resorts obligation to provide a safe secure enviroment?.

Pros and cons please,

More resorts and even restaurants and bars are installing security cams - pro or con, they are here to stay...

In theory, I really don't like the idea that we're on camera everywhere. But I expect it these days at hotels and resorts and think on balance it's probably a good idea.

Wonder if Hedo has security cameras,bet they could see some pretty strange things if they did!!!

I can see the benefits. Only if someone is actually monitoring them, however.

its fine as long as they are clear enough to provide definite identification...and if they are there as a "intervention device" they are responded to in a timely fashion ......something tried is better than empty rooms and eventually loss of tourism......

Any business owner, no matter where the location, is stupid to not have video cameras.

Just think they can be a positive means of clearing someone that is in a bad situation. if it was mean in da hot plate i would be happy to show that there is no problem hook me up... and the resort can prove or show reality . anyway bless mon!

Security cameras are purchased in hopes of crime prevention, but IMHO it takes a very sophisticated vendor to propose and install anything that amounts to something more than snake oil, smoke and mirrors.

We have 9 security cameras dotted around the property here where I work P/T in So. Fl. at a motel. We don't make a big deal about it but find it gives our guests some peace of mind to know they are being looked after.

There is probably a deterrent factor with these cameras but we have turned over footage 3 times to the Local Police and all three times it has resulted in some level of prosecution for the offenders.

Cameras and recorders are very inexpensive now. Our 9 camera/ 2 terabyte recorder costs less than $1000 US and considering the increased business that the peace of mind brings, that is a real bargain in our opinion.

BTW, we did all the installation and do all the maintenance ourselves.

If word got out that for instance a place like xtabi had them ,I wonder if you would have lost your stuff?sometimes just the increased risk will deter some!

Even if they are not monitored they are still a deterrent. I would paint them pink to make sure they know it is there,word gets around.

Thanks for the bump exactly my point striper, Seastar has them and im glad they do i feel safer there. Accompong you always have clear vision mon! bless.

Feel safe at Catcha with old Ben around

Maybe a listing of resorts that have security cams would be nice, could help in decision making of where to stay i know it will for me in the future.

I miss Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!

Treehouse has 16 cameras

I think BarBBarn has a system....I was enjoying a sub one day, when the security told me about them, pointed me to an area out of camera range....

Nice to know Gail,that is cool:)
