Cruise Ships and Cameras
From the Herald.com:
An article that discusses in passing surveillance cameras on cruise ships. Part of the article states:
Another lawsuit was filed against Carnival Cruise Lines last month in Miami by the family of a Wisconsin woman who disappeared from a ship a year ago and is presumed dead.
The suit says Carnival could have prevented her death if its security officers had been paying attention to a surveillance camera near the area where her purse and other belongings were found. The camera was covered with a piece of cloth, which should have alerted security officers, the suit contends.
So a camera gets covered up and the operator doesn't realize it. I don't know the setup, but it makes you wonder if a smart system would have helped in this case. Were people watching the systems and missed something? Or did people just ignore the surveillance system?
