Privacy Violation by CCTV in Public Places
Abstract
Nowadays, due to increased attention to security and policy, the public wants to check whether their surroundings are safe and secure. Cyber threats and cyberattacks are becoming more common as technology advances. The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether the placement of CCTV cameras in public places can jeopardize users' privacy. Our methodology is to select random images from the proposed dataset and then observe and classify the privacy violations in certain positions of CCTV in different places, such as ATMs, libraries, and schools. applying the chi-square formula to evaluate and get the p-value of the violation. Our indicator is set to 2% for the violation acceptance margin. The research yielded a 66.5% violation rate, and we conclude that the CCTV position can jeopardize the privacy of users in various locations.
