>>> Attributes for a CCTV camera could include: Owner Owner's contact
>>> details (for Data Protection Act / FOI requests) Direction of filming
>>> (e.g. "over shop front", or "eastwards up High Street")
>>
>> It would be great if the direction of filming could be specified in some
>> way that allows automated rendering of the camera's field of view.

> There have been many ideas on how to save s direction in the db, including:
>  - a special "destination" node, connected to the cctv by a relation
>  - an angle in the attributes (?)
>  - destination coordinates in the attributes
>  - a short piece of way, starting at the cctv and marking the "line of
>    sight"
>
> You may choose one.

What about cameras able to move side to side and/or 360 degrees?
