Colombia. More than 600 security cameras will be installed in different educational establishments in the Colombian capital, according to the announcement of the Mayor's Office of this city, for constant monitoring by the authorities in order to reduce the rates of violence and control the sale of narcotics inside the institutions.The first beneficiaries were the students of the Delia Zapata Olivella School in the north of Bogotá, where ten cameras were fixed, seven of them fixed and three domes with the capacity to rotate 360 degrees and approach specific objectives for detailed images of faces or vehicle license plate numbers.
This surveillance system is part of a pilot project developed by the Ministry of Education of the city, with which "the commission of crimes in the surroundings of the campus is prevented, greater control is exercised inside the facilities and thanks to the video record, offenders who have attacked the safety of students have been prosecuted", explained the rector of the institution, Sonia Forero.
