Comparitech researchers have released a study determining the most surveilled cities in the world. The research looks at the number of CCTV cameras per city and per population to discover which cities are the most watched. The study also outlines the ten most populated cities and their camera counts, the surveillance stats in US cities, and the correlation between CCTV cameras and crime count.
Key findings include:
- Hyderabad, Indore, Bangalore, Lahore, Seoul, Moscow, Kabul, Singapore, Saint Petersburg, and Baghdad are the top 10 most surveilled cities outside of China (based on the number of cameras per 1,000 people)
- A worrying number of cities are connecting private CCTV cameras to police networks, which is significantly increasing the number of “public” cameras across cities
- At the end of 2021, over one billion surveillance cameras were estimated to have been installed worldwide, according to IHS Markit’s latest report.
- 700 million cameras form the SkyNet project in China
- We found little correlation between the number of public CCTV cameras and crime or safety
