Urban CCTV Countersurveillance
The tradecraft guide to countering and defeating CCTV networks while you’re operating in public urban environments.
The city watches everything but remembers very little. Your tradecraft is to make sure you fall on the right side of that arithmetic.
A camera is a patient enemy. It never looks away, never loses focus, never asks permission. It just sits there recording the backdrop of people, quietly building an archive you’ll never see – until somebody else pulls it up and starts connecting dots.
CCTV countersurveillance is being optically unprovable and digitally forgettable, moving in a way the grid can watch but can’t solve. Cameras record more than anyone can entirely review. The objective is to remain one of the countless moments no one has reason to revisit.
