'Although China has more than 50% of all surveillance cameras installed in the world (about 34 cameras per 1,000 people), Australian cities are catching up. In 2021, Sydney had 4.67 cameras per 1,000 people and Melbourne had 2.13.'
Holy shit, Australians need to push back harder or they will certainly go back into becoming a penal colony again.
Cameras where I work in a small compound has about 60 cameras. Every elevator area on each floor, 2-3 on each floor of parking garage. 10 or so on perimeter/outside areas. All newer facilities are loaded with cameras.
London most surveilled city in the world ...I hate going to London ...the creepy thing is the motorway they built M25 ...they could trap people in inner London with no escape route...just block exit routes
