Really low underestimate. The average petrol station has 11 CCTV cameras. Yet Brighton only has 84? I have worked in warehouses with more cameras. Our local busses have 1 to 4 cameras onboard. And we have around 200 busses. Our little Tesco local has 9 cameras. Who knows how many the larger supermarkets have. It has been estimated that there are between 4m and 6m CCTV cameras in the UK.
