From the San Jose Mercury News
A city near LA, Montebello, is spending $1 million on 120 cameras. 25 of them will include sensors that will detect the sound of paint spray. The technology costs $20,000 to $30,000 per camera. This is an effort to detect graffiti.
“So when somebody’s spraying a wall or specific target, this sensor activates the camera … then sends a signal to our dispatch … dispatch zooms in and sends units to the area,” said police Det. Ismael Navarro.
