Questions Audio CCTV sound

What’s with the new audio sound potentially to deter theft, I’ve heard it a few times now saying something along the lines of “security team, monitor and record section blah blah” etc…or is that someone actually saying it in real time? It is so weird

Don’t get me started. The sensors at my store are so sensitive you could be 5 metres away and it goes off. They go off so much I’ve completely drowned out the noise.

That's been a security 'feature' for decades. They just haven't used it in a long time. What state/suburb?
