 CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Introduction
A four-hectare urban buffer zone identified as the lung center at the heart of
the metropolis is People's Park: the newest landmark of Davao City.

Twenty different components constitute the P 72-M People's Park drawing in

both local and foreign visits, a part of the move of the city to promote Davao tourism
that is open for the public, free of charge.

People from all walks of life are coming here. We have a tally-counter of more
than hundreds of people coming. There are some people who are coming here in
the park; some portions of the park seem like Singapore, Malaysia and other
countries.

Roughly, over a thousand species of trees and plants from different areas of
the world such as those from Southeast Asia formed the man-made tropical rain
forest giving visitors a real feel and touch with nature.

The park provides the students with the real sights of rare and even nearly
extinct species of plants and trees and exhibits showcasing orchids, tropical flowers,
and ornamentals.

Given this atmosphere, the park has become a sanctuary for group learning
and discussions. Groups of students from far places visit the park for the Lakbay-
Aral program of Department of Education.

We also consider this area as a learning center. In this generation, maybe

only few know the different kinds of trees. As part of security measures, the park
also has its built-in surveillance system. Eight monitoring cameras will be installed in
strategic places and security personnel will be deployed.

Statement of the problem

The researcher tends to find the solution of the following problems:

1. Is the surveillance camera reliable in terms of security?

2. How the surveillance camera will affect to the people in terms of security?
3. Is the surveillance camera considered a great device in terms of security?

Objectives of the study:

The researcher seeks to find the answers and solution in respect to the
problems encountered by the users/company.

1. To know if the surveillance camera reliable in terms of security.

2. To know if how surveillance camera will affect to the people in terms of
security.
3. To know if surveillance camera consider a great device.

Surveillance cameras installed in Seattle's Cal Anderson Park

1
Without public notice, Nickels had three surveillance cameras installed and
turned on in Capitol Hill's Cal Anderson Park on Feb. 20.City Council members and
the American Civil Liberties Union aren't happy about that. Council members wanted
to know who could watch the video, how long it would be kept, and what safeguards
would protect the privacy of innocent citizens. The council's Parks and Seattle
Center Committee is scheduled to discuss those safeguards at a meeting today. The
council had put a budget restriction last year on park surveillance cameras until it
learned more about the mayor's plan, but Nickels found a different pot of money for
the Cal Anderson cameras.

He believes cameras will deter crime and help police investigate crimes reported in
the parks. He wants the council to approve spending $850,000 for a one-year test of
the cameras. They went up in Cal Anderson Park to curtail drug dealing, vandalism
and illicit sex, said a Nickels spokesman. "This is about making sure our center-city
parks are safe, welcoming places for everybody," said Marty McOmber. The city has
not yet claimed any arrests or prosecutions as a result of images caught by the
cameras.

This summer the city will also employ six park rangers, at a cost of $462,000, to rove
downtown parks and alert police to any illegal activity. McOmber said the video-
surveillance program could spread to other parks if successful, but it wasn't
envisioned for them all. The cameras are owned and operated by the city. They are
monitored by police in the city's West Precinct Communication Center. From there,
the cameras can be made to tilt, zoom and pan around the park. They operate 24
hours a day, recording video without anyone monitoring images in real time. But
when warranted, by a 911 call or a report of criminal activity, police can watch the
cameras in real time.

7
City officials say the images would be stored for two weeks then automatically
erased unless they were needed as evidence in an investigation.

Tom Rasmussen, who chairs the council's Parks and Seattle Center Committee, got
a demonstration Monday on how the cameras work. "The ability to move the camera
is just amazing. They can zoom in on people quite effectively. It's an Orwellian
experience when you're observing people from three or four miles away," he said.

Rasmussen said most council members would probably support surveillance

cameras with proper safeguarding of the video, which would be a public record and
subject to disclosure requests under state law. Councilmember Nick Licata wants the
police to produce a warrant before viewing video.

The real sticking point, Rasmussen said, is the way Nickels charged ahead in Cal
Anderson Park before the council lifted its spending clamp on surveillance cameras.
He called it "totally inconsistent" with the council's will.

McOmber said Nickels was prompted by a spike in graffiti at the park and noted that
Nickels financed the Capitol Hill cameras by drawing from a different fund than the
one the council had restricted.

Rasmussen said the mayor "skirted" the council's budget restriction through a
technicality. He said it "harms the trust" and the sometimes rocky relationship
between Nickels and the council.
