Nowadays, people reinforce life safety consciousness; for this reason, safety system is becoming wisdom application in this society. The function is no longer just safety protection, but also increases surveillance application and provides entire automatic monitoring. This kind of vision of global gaze became public surveillance system.

IP Cam is one of the webcam for surveillance systems. Generally, IP Cam can connect with IP router directly; don’t need to connect a computer or set a router. IP Cam can send images or video directly by internet, therefore, monitoring can easily and conveniently use internet to browser images or video in order to track and monitor.

Many people use IP Cam to monitor children, elder or servants’ behavior at home. Others may use IP Cam to monitor employees’ behavior in work place. People who have been monitor may feel lose their right of privacy. These kinds of monitor infringe upon peoples’ privacy and freedom. For example, manager monitor employees’ working behavior in behalf of monitor employees use computer/ Internet to do something irrelevant their work, or do they divulge company commercial secrets and so on. Even if, parent wants to monitor their children or manager wants to monitor the employees; people still should not be monitor. People have the right to keep their privacy. Monitor makes people feel uncomfortable and distrust. However, undeniable, some monitoring may be a good way to improve employees’ efficiency during the business hours. Nevertheless, in my opinion; employee trusts his company and willing to work hard for his work; on the contrary, manager should trust the employee who he has hired, and be honest to his employees.

As for now, the postmodern society, people became more careful to meet a new person because there are many terrorists around the world. Thus, surveillance system has become a necessary equipment in this environment, but it does not mean all of the people do not deserve being trust. In addition, take panoticism as example; this indicates monitoring cannot monitor everything just through a surveillance system. In other words, outside the system that monitoring cannot monitor anything at all. A surveillance system should defend the villain. As a result, I believe, an honor system or honesty system is a philosophical way of running a variety of endeavors based on trust, honor and honesty. Not enough to deter serous criminals.
