I wonder how the cameras work, if you click a live one and watch it seems to just replay a few seconds over and over then the archive shows stills every 5 mins.. I guess the Traffic guys and Police have more fluid access, it probably would be against privacy laws for members of the public to have access to fully live CCTV.. not sure?
Yes you could be right . I still find it a worry that they can be accessed even if they are delayed/ archived. You could work out someone's routine. Picture below is of one with only a 2 min delay
