Recently, the video surveillance program was launched in the Las Americas neighborhood, a state-of-the-art system that allows you to see in real time what is happening in certain parts of the city, to capture possible illicit behavior. The implementation of this program was one of the commitments that Mayor Ricardo Sheffield acquired when assuming his mandate, but this was doubled, because at the end of the administration 202 cameras will have been placed, which together with the 40 that had installed the previous triennials add up to 242. It will be in 27 high-risk neighborhoods such as Chapalita, 20 in the Pedestrian Zone, 48 cameras in the armories and lobbies of the Cepoles, as well as seven in the main entrances and exits of the city, where these cameras will be installed. - Publicidad - With this technology, León joins the rest of the cities with greater surveillance, such is the case of Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mérida. The characteristics of video surveillance cameras are that they are color, have a high fidelity (some are connected by fiber optics, others by cell phone), and have night vision, which allows capturing from large to small details. From the Control, Command, Communications and Computing Center (C4), personnel from 066, the Army, the PGR, the State Attorney General's Office and the Red Cross, can have access to this information, to act depending on the situation. ![Santiago Jaramillo](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/latinpress/editor-sjaramillo.jpeg) Santiago JaramilloEmail: sjaramillo@latinpressinc.com Editor Comunicador social y periodista con más de 15 años de trayectoria en medios digitales e impresos especializados para América Latina.
