Smart Cameras in Mexico City
December 20th, 2006
From El Universal – Mexico News:
Mexico City tentatively plans to install 4,000 new surveillance cameras in 2007 (they have 1,000 existing cameras). An interesting part is the they will use multiple monitoring centers (16), because they believe this will lead to quicker police response. The cameras use a Wimex high-speed microwave transmission system to feed into each monitoring center.
They are also following the model of Athens and using cameras to looking for suspicious behavior. They plan to use 100 cameras for facial recognition. (Are there other setups that have found facial recognition software useful?) While 16 cameras are dedicated to ANPR.
