Hi Ben,
after reading the wikipedia article, I’d say I was wrong. The acronym always made me think it was something special, but it’s what I would simply call “video surveillance” or a “security camera”.
CCTV, of course, sound much more interesting!
Oh, and thank you for your podcast. Just learned about form reading the El Pais Article. Good way to keep some practice in Spanish. I’m German and have studied Spanish for a couple of years, but am now working in Hong Kong.. The podcast helps me not to forget EVERYthing
Gracias
John

Hola.
Aqui donde vivo, casi todos los edifícios tienen camara de seguridad, así mismo en las tiendas hay asaltos.
Buena lección, gracias.

Hola,
I always thought CCTV means that it’s not a live broadcast and that no one is watching. I thought it is recorded so it could be accessed should something have happened.
I may be wrong. Would be nice to know though
Hasta luego
John
