Episodes
The residents of Southampton's 19 council-owned tower blocks are monitored by CCTV 24 hours a day. This revealing look at day-to-day life in a high-rise explores being watched and whether residents feel that privacy has been sacrificed in return for the promise of increased security.
Prices of CCTV cameras are tumbling, and surveillance is no longer just a tool of the state. More and more people are installing personal CCTV cameras and recording what goes on in their neighbourhoods and their businesses, and even inside their own homes.
In modern Britain it's hard to enter a city-centre without being captured on CCTV - whether you like it or not. Behind these eyes in the sky sit an unseen army of camera operators - watching us, judging us and predicting our every move.
The residents of Southampton's 19 council-owned tower blocks are monitored by CCTV 24 hours a day. It is the life on both sides of the lens, meeting both the tenants whose lives are under constant surveillance, and the CCTV operators.
