From the CBS 8 West Alabama Newsroom-- Electronic eyes are going up in more and more homes and businesses as the use of video is being viewed as an effective crime fighting tool.

He says now a growing number of home owners are starting to use video to protect their property.

A plan to put cameras at dozens of public places around the city is under consideration by the city in an effort to deter crime.
