Assessing CCTV Effectiveness in Pretoria: Enhancing Surveillance with AI, IoT, and Legal Insights.

This research project investigates the effectiveness of CCTV surveillance systems in detecting and preventing contact crimes in Pretoria, South Africa. It also explores how emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) can enhance these systems. This study relies entirely on secondary data sources, including crime statistics, surveillance reports, and academic literature, and aims to identify limitations in the current systems while examining the legal and ethical considerations involved in implementing smart surveillance technologies
