Jabbakam Your Online Security Camera Network

A new UK technology called Jabbakam, aims to give power back to the public by making security camera networks as easy to use as Facebook.
Jabbakam removes the complicated knowledge and technology barriers that have traditionally stopped ordinary people from setting up their own security surveillance systems.
The system enables communities to link personal or public cameras up and monitor the footage via the Internet, or be alerted of activity via email or SMS.
In time, the new breakthrough application will permit users to aggregate themselves into online groups that can share information to create a virtual neighbourhood watch, so that communities can feel safe again.
The success of privately owned CCTV is being witnessed across the country and images captured by members of the public have been used on numerous occasions to identify and convict offenders.
But the cost of CCTV for the majority of us is not a realistic option – Jabbakam is.
Jabbakam entrepreneur James Wickes on BBC Surrey Breakfast Show said: “I think CCTV is great, although there should be less monitoring by the state and more by the people, monitoring what they want to be monitored, and a more organic approach. The statistics show the frustration women and men feel when it comes to protecting their homes”
People obviously take pride in their possessions, as often it is a reflection of what their hard work has achieved.
Where general CCTV has come under scrutiny for invasion of privacy, it must be understood who is Big Brother in these situations, as video monitoring is only an invasion of privacy when it’s not you who is in charge of the footage in which you star.
The National Crime Survey states that properties without basic home security measures, are more likely to become victims of burglary than those that have taken precautions. A statistic backed up by the Neighbourhood Watch Trust.
Jabbakam, is a pay as you go system and can cost as little as 10p a month  to run.
