...in the convenience store.

It's inside the thing that looks like an old PA speaker box, right???

WHY WOULD THERE BE A PA SPEAKER IN EVERY CONVENIENCE STORE?!?

It's just that I go into these convenience stores and it's SO CONSISTANT that it's ridiculous.

Like the Circle K by my work: They have a camera out as plain as sight taking pictures of the back of everyone's head... BUT NO VCR. It's hooked up to a monitor behind the counter plain as sight so a crook would shoot out that camera. But THEN there's a speaker box off to the side pointing straight at the person at the cash register.

SHOOT THE SPEAKER!!!

Let's say I'm a crook..... SURPRISE ME! Hide it in the Cheetos or something. Don't CONSISTANTLY, STORE AFTER STORE PUT IT IN THE PA BOX! :p

I think they should have a camera on the cashier so it could be like a &quot;you are the guy who doesn't speak english getting a gun pointed at your head&quot; thing. FOX would make a killing :p

The store around here has like 3 cameras all staring at the counter plus 2 convex mirrors in the corners.

Do the people in the police stations/banks/other official areas think that the black spheres in the ceiling are fooling us? Does anyone ever say: &quot;Wow, those black semi-transparent spherical things in the ceiling go well with that plain white ceiling. This place must've had some awesome interior designers!&quot;

Pretender, those spheres are cameras that can record a full 360° panoramic view - they're just black to reduce glare :)

They're black so you can't see which way they are pointing. Saw that on a Discovery channel show about casinos.

The funny thing about those spheres is that I can see the camera right thru them, so as for not letting me see which way it points, too bad.

LOL I went to my gas station today and they still had a sign on the door saying &quot;Please remove all masks before entering.&quot;

I wonder if they figured out that from experience!

I'm guessing that it was put up for halloween, so that masked people couldn't just walk in and rob the place.

The speaker connects to a central place I believe that they can talk to security people monitoring the place. I know cause I been there when they have. The camera also beems back vieo to those same security people.
