In spite of our personal feelings about being watched, a company is totally within
their rights to install any sort of security measures - whether they be obvious or
otherwise - to protect themselves.
You're lucky you know about the cameras and swipe card. You're also lucky you don't
have an armed security guard at the door checking your person and baggage every time
you walk in or out of the building.
Many companies have undetectable security systems.
I wouldn't sweat it. They're probably not even going to post a monitor to watch the
cameras.

Subject: Cameras in the Office.
Hi all...this is your friendly controversial topic starter Gel again.
:)
They are going to install Video Cameras on our floor in the office due to a recent
spate of theft at the company.
How do you folks feel about this?
Is it an invasion of privacy, or something that is understandable and necessary in an
office environment?
They are doing this without informing the staff as a whole what they are doing, they
are just going to install them and hten
after the fact they'll probably mention..."Oh by the way..we are installing cameras..".
They're also implementing swipe-card door lock thingies instead of the punch code
locks they have now, which is cool, for the
IT Development floor.
I think they've just made up my mind about leaving or staying.
I didn't even know that we've had computers stolen etc. and that it was so bad.
I understand companies have to do something in terms of security etc. and protecting
their equipment, but surely there are
other ways than camers int he office? I don't know of any other firm that has Cameras
IN the offices trained at their
employees.
