Internet Eyes is a spooky new service which lets members of the public sign up to monitor random CCTV cameras to hunt for crimes being committed in shops. The watchers pay a monthly fee to join, and receive a small ‘watching allowance’ depending on their hours logged in, and the ‘Viewer’ who makes the best contribution to the prevention or detection of a crime each month can win up to £1000.00 in prize money. Scared yet?

The service comes across as very well thought out, and responsibly run, but even so you’ve got to wonder about a world where everyone spies on everyone else in order to earn money rewards. Oh wait…that’s called a police force right?

 The sole purpose of Internet Eyes is to enable responsible members of the public to use the latest technology to help shopkeepers and the police combat the serious social harm that shoplifting causes.
