Greetings,
Whilst at the "Surveillance In/And Everyday Life" Conference held
recently at the University of Sydney I coined (whilst presenting) the
term OCTV or Open Circuit TV with absolutely no knowledge of where the
term may have existed pre-presentation -
http://streamfolio.squarespace.com/news/2012/3/4/surveillance-in-everyday-life.html
It seemed a natural fit for trying to explain the role of the public
in the "performance" of policing, transformed by a plethora of network
connected mobile eyes, a mass of sousveillance - counter, inverse and
other. I then went onto present at the the 6th Annual Workshop of the
Social Implications of National Security sponsored by the Research
Network of the Secure Australia (RNSA), the Centre for Transnational
Crime Prevention (CTCP) and support from The University of Wollongong.
The workshop was titled "Sousveillance and the Social Implications of
Point of View Technologies in the Law Enforcement Sector" where again
the explosion of social networking technologies took centre stage.
Does this term OCTV ring true for you also ? Is "open circuit" the
best term to be coining?
Also, do you have any resources you can point to that would perhaps
open my knowledge further than a current ( and very interesting)
author I have unearthed this evening -

I also notice sousveillance has appeared in previous publications also

Looking forward to your reply.
