In 2007 Kappalyn installed CCTV cameras into a jewellery store on Sydney’s North Shore.

The security cameras were aimed inside the shop but also gave a clear view through the shop window to the street.

When the shop next door was hit by ram raiders, the jeweller’s security cameras captured it all. The high quality images from the Kappalyn CCTV system ensured police identification of the culprits and they were then arrested. Kappalyn’s CCTV images were used as evidence in the conviction of the criminals.

CCTV Cameras in London School

In south London, the newly refurbished Stockwell Park High School has nearly 100 CCTV cameras on the premises, with another 100 due to be installed.

Not only are the general areas monitored but classrooms also have cameras.

The hi-tech surveillance system dubbed Classwatch was installed after gang members broke into the school and mugged students and stole valuable equipment.

Deputy head Mike Rush says with Big Brother watching, the theft and assaults have stopped.

"As soon as we got that message out into the community that if you came on to the site here a high quality, good high definition picture would be burned onto a disc, sent to the local police station almost overnight in fact, the problem of people coming onto the school site here ceased," he said.

And the school plans to use the cameras to resolve disputes about bullying or if claims are made against teachers.

A PLAYGROUND fight over a girl led to yesterday's rampage by axe-wielding teenagers through one of Sydney's leading high schools.

Students fled in terror and two female tuck shop workers ran for safety as three youths armed with machetes and a tomahawk allegedly terrorised the school.

The youths were allegedly yelling out the name of a student as they made their way through the school.

Damage estimated at $30,000 was caused to windows, notice boards and a vehicle at the prestigious Trinity Catholic College at Auburn in Sydney's west.
