CCTV has provided vital evidence in a number of high profile cases. CCTV images have given police vital clues in what otherwise might have been unsolvable cases. This reliance on CCTV to crack crime has pointed up the importance of installing high quality systems and the vital role that managers and operators play in ensuring that the systems are well-managed and maintained. Meanwhile the government continues to invest heavily in closed circuit television for town centres. In the public arena, CCTVs' main benefit is not so much on crime prevention, but in detecting and prosecuting criminals and offenders.

CCTV systems are usually installed where an operator cannot directly observe employees, installations, clients or customers, to increase their safety. For instance, in a train or a park ride, operators can ensure users are safely installed before closing the doors. It is also used as a deterrent, to warn potential criminals that their actions will be recorded and could be used to prosecure them.

Citizens are expressing their concerns about CCTV's role in the "surveillance society". Amid fears that CCTV may infringe on personal privacy, the benefits of CCTV as a valuable tool in the fight against crime are sometimes fading into the background. However, the amount of surveillance deployed on public transport and public spaces continues to escalate, not only for anti-terrorism purposes, but for the public’s peace of mind. Surveillance technology on transportation systems can also significantly improve the uptime of services if an incident does occur.

From a technology viwepoint, surveillance technology is progressing rapidly and the demand for a system that is as open and flexible as possible is increasing. Transmitting video images to hand-held PDAs is becoming more widespread. With such innovative technology in place, police or security guards will be able to respond to events as they happen.
