Technical Surveillance
Although the word surveillance in French literally means "watching over",[1] the term is often used for all forms of observation or monitoring, not just visual observation. Nevertheless, the all-seeing "eye in the sky" is still a general icon of surveillance. Surveillance in many modern cities and buildings often uses closed-circuit television cameras. Although surveillance can be a useful tool for law enforcement and security companies, many people have concerns about the loss of privacy.
The word surveillance is commonly used to describe observation from a distance by means of electronic equipment or other technological means. For example:
- eavesdropping
- telephone tapping
- directional microphones
- covert listening devices or "bugs"
- Minox subminiature cameras
- closed-circuit television
- GPS tracking
- Bait car
- electronic tagging
- CCTV Images
- military reconnaissance
- Reconnaissance aircraft, e.g. Lockheed U-2
- Reconnaissance satellites
- "trusted" computing devices
- Internet and computer surveillance
However, surveillance also includes simple, relatively no- or low-technology methods such as direct observation, observation with binoculars, postal interception, or similar methods.
