responded that the cameras were used only for real time monitoring . 2 legislative councillor alice mak asked for clarification on behalf of the passenger . 3 it was revealed that the cctv system does have a recording function . the aahk added that the staff concerned who were not honest in this instance have been suitably admonished . 2 the case was investigated by the office of the ombudsman which released a report in january 2015 . the report noted that the aahk training material instructs staff to answer enquiries about cctv with the response cctvs are used for real time surveillance
