The preliminary study focuses on two key aspects of crime prevention via Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) and the specific context of VSS deployment in Malaysia. The study employs interviews as a method of data collection and a thematic content analysis approach to data analysis. The research findings highlight the VSS's effectiveness in solving crime cases, satisfaction among participants using VSS, limited expertise and skills in video analysis, and the high costs associated with the installation. Future studies should delve deeper into the regional impacts of video surveillance on crime rates in Malaysia and investigate the integration of emerging technologies' effectiveness.
