"Here is the source code to the cameraViewer. It’s ALPHA and not the greatest code, I only spent an hour throwing it together, so if anyone wants to help out and make it better, feel free.

urban eye

"A further perspective of understanding the increasing use of CCTV is the current trend of commodification urban space.
