What international research shows
Published findings on this kind of intervention elsewhere, not results measured on this site.
The same 40-year meta-analysis found CCTV was associated with about 16% lower odds of property crime and about 16% lower odds of vehicle crime, the offence types where cameras have the clearest effect.

Frauds caught within six months had a median loss of US$40,000, against more than US$1.1 million for schemes that ran over five years, and controls such as management review and proactive data monitoring were associated with lower losses and faster detection.

Passive systems that only record showed no significant effect.
