Argentina. Recently, 450 new video surveillance cameras began to be installed in different parts of the city. By March, it is expected that more than 1,000 units (including the Province and Municipality) installed in accesses, main streets and avenues, public spaces and neighborhoods of Rosario will work.
According to the provincial Security Minister, Maximiliano Pullaro, all the material captured by the cameras is received in real time and analyzed by about 30 operators in the Monitoring Center.
"We will continue to bet on technology in security policies. In Rosario and throughout the province," said the former provincial deputy, on his Facebook account, and clarified that the cameras serve "to prevent, deter and clarify" the facts of insecurity.
The Provincial Video Surveillance System was designed and implemented to prevent and combat possible criminal actions in public spaces in the cities of Rosario and Santa Fe.
There are currently 600 cameras in operation between the two cities (400 in Rosario and 200 in Santa Fe), while another 600 are in the process of being implemented. These are cameras of two types, dome and fixed, which are installed in the main accesses to cities, circulation arteries, public spaces and commercial areas. They monitor 24 hours a day different preset points of both places.
In the accesses to the cities of Santa Fe and Rosario, special cameras were also installed that allow the capture and extraction of patents to identify vehicles with capture orders and an intelligent video analysis platform that allows working with the stored information.
The images captured by these devices converge in the two modern monitoring centers that exist in the cities of Santa Fe and Rosario, which constantly interact with the reports that are made to the 911 Emergency System, thus allowing to analyze the images and make decisions in cases where an irregularity is registered.
