== Company philosophy ==
Liveview believes that imposing presence of surveillance is preferable because it causes citizens to behave differently. On LiveView Technologies' website, the following quote appears:<blockquote>The typical LVT D3 Mobile Security Trailer is extremely visible. When in use, the cameras are on top of a 22 foot-pole and the entire unit weighs more than 1,600 pounds. '''We purposefully made the units imposing''' because we believe an overt security approach is preferable in many cases. '''People behave differently when under surveillance'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LVT Use Cases in Law Enforcement {{!}} LVT |url=https://www.lvt.com/blog/liveview-technologies-use-cases-in-law-enforcement |website=LVT Use Cases in Law Enforcement {{!}} LVT}}</ref></blockquote>
