BMA installs more CCTVs
BANGKOK, July 2 (TNA) - The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has installed 10,000 Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras throughout Bangkok in a bid to reduce traffic offense and crime and to enhance public safety in the Thai capital.
Bangkok Governor M.R. Sukhumbhand Paribatra presided over a ceremony to install the 10,000th CCTV camera at Bangkok’s Victory Monument this week, insisting that all the installed CCTV cameras, with their capacity raised from 300,000 pixels to two million pixels and directly linked with metropolitan police stations, were intended to monitor traffic and ensure public safety in the city, particularly in areas deemed at risk, such as fresh markets, public buildings, schools and hospitals.
M.R. Sukhumbhand said that before his four-year tenure ends next year, BMA will have installed 20,000 CCTV cameras in the Thai capital for the security proposes, from only 3,000 CCTV cameras in previous years.
The 16th Bangkok governor acknowledged that there have been 652 crime cases, through which the improved CCTV cameras have been used to track down criminals in the city so far, and that the installation of the remaining 10,000 CCTV cameras in the capital are expected to be completed by August 2012.
