There are also disadvantages as there are advantages of a CCTV surveillance. The main disadvantage is privacy. Many people now has privacy issues at home and outside. The most common privacy problem is when a parent walks into a teenagers room without knocking. The teenagers gets a angry at their parents. Imagine this on a larger scale and the non-knocking surveillance is 24hrs? CCTVs are installed all over singapore without anyone knowing. It is like having your life as a movie 24/7. Too many CCTV surveillances may not be good as people of singapore will want their privacy too.

Why do you think that the parents have to walk into the teenagers room every now and then? This is because nowadays , teenagers are being too addicted to the internet and thus the parents felt that they should control their child's time on the internet.Having said that, what are the advantages of installing a CCT camera in a teenagers room? This CCT can be used to monitor ur child's every movement in his room.For example if you are going out you can check if your child is secretly playing or watching any pornographic material online.This would definetely help in your monitoring of your child.Besides nowadays the CCT cameras are so small and you can hide it anywhere in his/her room without them knowing.Although there are few advantage of installing CCT cameras in a teenagers room, there are also a few disadvantages and i totally agree in intruding others privacy.At the puberty age teenagers are bound to want some freedom and will eventually dislike you from barging into their room every now and then and checking on them.This i felt will make it destroy the trust 'bridge' between you and your child.By further adding the CCT camera and if they happen to know about it, they will get very upset and bonds with your child might get worst.In conclusion i feel that installing CCT has pros and cons, regarding this "installing CCT in a teenagers room" issue.Checking on your child or giving him/her freedom, you decide.
