Increasing Use of Surveillance Cameras Leads to Direct Witnessing of Burglary in Reims
Sabah Ziani, a resident of Reims, France, experienced a burglary in real-time while abroad, thanks to her home surveillance system. She received alerts on her phone and viewed the live footage of the intruders but was unable to contact local police directly. Although the police arrived later, the burglars had already fled. In a separate incident in Lançon-Provence, video surveillance played a crucial role in capturing a thief, as tenants notified gendarmes while monitoring the suspect’s actions remotely.
