CCTV in Nottingham

Treasure Hunt

the Nottingham based CCTV treasure hunt is seeking to highlight the level of CCTV surveillance carried out in the local area through mapping the location of cameras around the city center. The project uses digital photography to record the cameras and using a function of Google maps publishes there location on their website which is accessible to anyone. it is a user generated project meaning that although it has a specific creator any one in the local community can contribute. this way of working means that it can be easily updated as the CCTV system is updated.

A similar project created by a Jez Noond in 2005 mapped the CCTV cameras of nottingham city centre and went further to categorize the cameras by function. This information was shared in the form of a tour led by Noond
