Sometimes we can all use a good laugh and there’s no better time than on a Friday. That is why we have compiled this slideshow of animals caught on video surveillance causing some trouble.
Video surveillance is a good force multiplier for both preventing and solving crimes. This proved especially true last month during the siege of the U.S. Capitol. In the days following the riot, footage that has aired on the news and social media mainly came from news cameras and phone recordings. While that footage proved helpful to investigators, the congressional building’s security cameras were also used to identify suspects and piece together the events of that day.
Video surveillance has also played a significant role in securing coronavirus vaccines in hospitals. At a minimum, it is recommended by ASIS that points of dispensing (PODs) have a camera in the immediate area, allowing a view of persons in the hallway leading to the POD and at the entry point. Many hospitals have also set up video surveillance monitoring of storage refrigerators and to areas where the vaccine is being handled.
On a less serious note, sometimes, if you’re lucky, video surveillance technology can also catch hilarious moments that provide comic relief — something we can all use during these unprecedented and stressful times.
