Summary/Abstract: The purpose of my study is to analyze the camera system at one of the elementary school in Slovak republic. I especially describe how the lives of children at school have been influenced by the camera system. The special attention is paid to the role of the camera system in relation to school bullying. The study is based on long-term, qualitative, inductive, and ethnographic fieldwork. The central method of the fieldwork was ethnographic observation. The results of this study show that the camera system cannot prevent socio-pathological phenomena in educational settings. The study also sheds light on aspects of interactions of school and non-school settings.
