The targeted experimented group included the individuals employed for CCTV monitoring and handling, in one of the cities of Gujarat. The survey using a questionnaire was conducted, which gave an explicit result about the effectiveness of CCTV towards the prevention, detection and investigation of crimes along with the current scenario about the awareness of CCTV and its use among individuals marked as subjects in the current study. The study was funded by the National Forensic Sciences University in collaboration with the Bureau of Research and Development in order to gauge and assess the value of CCTV architecture in the security of the smart city.
