A shopping centre is confident its security devices, including CCTV technology, will catch the perpetrator of a robbery on a woman.

Digital CCTV Dome Cameras from CCTV Surveillance Ltd are a most popular security device for retail and office premises because they can be installed discreetly on a wall or ceiling corner with all the cables hidden within the casing.
