What are 10 disadvantages of using CCTV include privacy invasion, high costs, and technical limitations. One, invasion of privacy for employees, customers, and family who feel watched and stressed. Two, high upfront costs for cameras, DVR, installation, and ongoing costs for storage and maintenance. Three, false sense of security, cameras record but do not prevent crime unless actively monitored. Four, vulnerability to hacking, especially IP cameras with weak passwords can be accessed remotely. Five, legal and compliance issues, improper placement in private areas or audio recording can violate laws. Six, storage requirements, high resolution video uses large amounts of hard drive space and requires regular management. Seven, maintenance needs, cameras need cleaning, focus adjustment, and weather damage repair. Eight, limited effectiveness at night or in poor lighting unless expensive IR cameras used, and image quality may be poor for identification. Nine, reliance on power and internet, power outage or network failure stops recording unless backup exists. Ten, potential for misuse and abuse by operators who may use footage for voyeurism or discrimination, and can create adversarial atmosphere in workplaces reducing trust and morale if employees feel spied upon rather than protected.
