During the season of good will to all men, it can be so easy to get caught up in the festive spirit, and forget to take simple precautions against crime. Nobody really wants to be thinking of such things during...
After years of sustained campaigning from animal rights groups, earlier this year saw the government pass sweeping regulations to require all slaughterhouses to install CCTV systems. The hope is that the increased monitoring can not only help prosecute abuses, but...
A crime has taken place on your property, but when you try and check the recorder for footage in the morning you find it lost power at some point in the night. Was there a power cut? Did the network...
