Cameras could automatically detect them

Recently Korean childcare centers have started requiring the installation of surveillance cameras, stirring controversy. Not only are these cameras found in public spaces, but also in the military, operating rooms, religious places, even welfare centers. Some 450-500,000 surveillance cameras are installed in Korea now, and every year about 10,000 more cameras are installed. The average Korean is caught on camera 83 times throughout the day. Including other common recording devices such as car black boxes, dash cams and cell phones, that number rises. Yet proponents of surveillance cameras argue that they play a major role in protecting against crime and solving crime. Are these cameras worth the price we pay in privacy? How will other countries throughout the world deal with the growing number of cameras that are always watching our lives?
