Borell mainly cites three reasons why the police invest heavily in cameras: People who plan to commit crimes choose places that are equipped with surveillance cameras.

People who live in areas that are monitored by cameras experience increased security. 

- The third reason is that the surveillance footage gives us a much better chance of solving crimes committed in these areas, says Fredrik Borell.

What kind of reactions have you encountered when you set up cameras?

- We have received positive reactions, mainly from residents of Bäckby.

The only negative reactions we've had are from people who get disappointed when we take down cameras.
