Latin America. Security cameras are one of the most applied measures to protect entities from insecurity. From August some schools in Puerto Rico will have this system, seeking to protect themselves from high incidences of vandalism, but ensure that surveillance will only be activated after school hours, as its objective is to prevent the theft of equipment both in administrative areas and in classrooms. One of the main concerns raised from this announcement was the possibility that these systems will threaten the privacy of students and teachers, however the Governor of the island said that "the cameras are the equivalent of having many police. They do the same thing a security guard does using technology."For its part, in the Argentine municipality General Madariaga, security cameras were installed in streets initially five devices were located in strategic places in order to monitor them. The system will be run by the local police station where police personnel will be responsible for monitoring the images so that they are stored and available for use as evidence in court cases. The installation of this security system seeks to reduce the crime rate, as well as increase the chances of identifying, capturing and prosecuting those involved in illicit activities.
As in this province of Argentina, in Mazatlan, Mexico, the month of June brings with it the start of operations of the 26 cameras that have been installed around the city; the implementation of video surveillance systems in other cities in the state of Sinaloa is also planned. This video surveillance system required an investment of nine million Mexican pesos, approximately 870 thousand dollars.
