Vision monitoring system cameras have been merging into the landscape of public places in Polish agglomerations for over a decade. Their spread neither has been publicly discussed nor it has been examined what is their effectiveness in crime prevention and as an irrefutable proof in criminal proceedings. Also the legislator has long failed to attempt to regulate this sphere – which not only in theory can be in conflict with the right to privacy. Similarly, no financial analyses of creating and maintaining complex systems have been made. The article presents research from selected countries (United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, and Poland) on preventive effectiveness of video surveillance systems based on police and other service statistics as well as victimisation studies of inhabitants. The problem of economic analysis of the systems of this type in public areas of big cities on the example of the research by M. Spriggs and A. Gill (United Kingdom) is also discussed. An attempt of cost calculation of the greatest Polish system functioning in Warsaw is also made. It includes both material and social costs. They are compared with potential and actual profits from the use of the system and accompanied by a short survey of research on the effectiveness of video surveillance systems. Warsaw has been chosen because of the size of the system and relatively greatest availability of financial data and reports from Zakład Obsługi Systemu Monitoringu m.st. Warszawy (Surveillance System Administration Office of the Capital City of Warsaw). The article summarises the descriptions of administrators’ and system owners’ reactions to the results of the studies.

The article considers basic threats to public safety and the possibility of reducing them on the basis of examples from Walbrzych city and district. The authors describe how the municipal system of the public safety is managed, in particular the use of visual monitoring in Walbrzych. The monitoring system was created in 2002 and it was enlarged from ten to eighteen cameras in 2010. The authors collected data since 2000 to 2010 from eight Police Headquarters in Walbrzych city and district and converted into it indicators. This work contains the analysis of the impact of applying preventive new techniques such as visual monitoring in relation to the number of initiated proceedings based on the crime rate in Walbrzych city and district. Moreover the article shows comparative results based on the rates in the chosen area, Poland and the EU. The data for Poland and EU was collected since 1960, then aggregated and converted into indicators per 1000 inhabitants. The results of the research are surprising, because the system of the visual monitoring in Walbrzych did not influence the reduction of crime in the monitored areas in a significant way, but did cause an increase in the subjective sense of security of the local community.

The paper presents basic legal conditions related to the operation and types of video monitoring systems. These considerations include the attempt to diagnose the impact of the use of video monitoring systems on the number of new cases initiated on the basis of the crime rate in the area of the city and county of Walbrzych. The article contains a comparative study based on this indicator in the studied area, in Poland and the EU countries.
