Today’s post is about Internet Eyes, which is online notification system that allows views to watch live CCTV feeds at home to alert a business of shoplifting. Once you register online for the company, if chosen, you only get paid if you stop a crime from happening. I personal would not do this job because the pay is not certain and I could only imagine how boring it would be to monitor a store for hours and see no activity. Internet eyes have great intentions since shoplifting is estimated at 4.88 billion dollars a year. I do believe that additional measures should be taken in order to stop this growing rate. Untimely we end up paying for shoplifting through cancel taxes, insurance premiums and high prices that we pay at the checkout line. http://interneteyes.co.uk/. The only issue I think Internet Eyes is faced with is people who believe it is an invasion of privacy. I personally believe it makes no difference since you are being watched either way. I believe Britain’s Information Commissioner made a great choice by putting "private profit above personal privacy" http://www.sott.net/articles/show/216042-The-launch-of-CCTV-citizen-spy-game-Internet-Eyes. Even though Internet Eyes are still in there three month trial period I wish them luck and they have my full support.Thursday, October 7, 2010

Sean, I agree with you about the pay. I didn't think about that. I guess each month you won't know if you are going to have the top number of points to get the £1000 or not and either way that's not enough to live. People would have to do that as a side job or if you have a flexible job you can have the site open while you work your regular job.
