Security Camera in Sochi

The installation of Security Cameras and other Surveillance equipment in 2014 Sochi was unprecedented. Protecting the most popular sports event in a politically unstable region became a critical priority to the Russian Politicians. In one of the the most controversial comment Dmitry Kozak, Russian deputy prime minister responsible for Olympic preparation, revealed that authorities have video from hotels showing what people do inside their hotel rooms. While comments like this add to the fear of unwanted personal intrusion, outside surveillance cameras are now the norm. In the name of protection, safety and security the installation of outside cameras has been extensive and unprecedented.
