Better surveillance by Chennai police
Posted on: 30/Sep/2013 2:16:09 PM
With the aim to improve surveillance, the Chennai police has introduced live webcasting. Senior officers can now watch and hear footage recorded by mobile police units on the ground, from the convenience of their offices.
The live webcasting system, streamed via wifi using 3G, began a trial run in August and was deployed in places of congregation, processions, agitations, and during VIP visits to the city.
Six special police units armed with HD video cameras attached to a live unit have been going around the city, capturing images and streaming live content to desktop computers at the offices of the commissioner of police, additional commissioners and joint commissioners in the four city zones.
Six cameras and modems compatible with 3G and server space were procured by the city police following approval from the State government.
At any given time, officers can log on to a specific website and watch six screens streaming live footage with sound. If any situation demands attention, a police unit can be sent to the spot immediately.
The traffic police department too is expected to receive four cameras and related equipment to put in place the hi-tech ground supervising mechanism.
