This might sound weird, but a US-based CCTV company has decided to hire people who will monitor stores from remote locations in India and scream at armed robbers in case of suspicious activities in the stores. The operator, in fact, will also administer the workings of the store and its employees.

Washington-based Live Eye Surveillance will use surveillance cameras to watch over the store, VICE’s Motherboard reports. It is basically a camera system that keeps a continuous watch over the activities in the shop. A remote human operator intervenes in the event of suspicious activity.

Apart from pointing out robberies, the remote human operator will also monitor the activities of the store’s employees. For example, if the cashier makes a mistake in the bill, the store clerks will be yelled at for the error.

Those who aren’t employees of the store will be asked to step aside from the cash counter if the human operator spots a man at a place where he shouldn’t be in the shop.
