ISLAMABAD: The capital will get a total of 1,950 cameras under ‘safe city project’ that would also have the facial detection system. An official privy to the matter said on Tuesday that the camera-based facial recognition software is the main feature of these cameras which will help recognise the faces. Under the project, the video summary software and 4G technology will be installed in these CCTV cameras. Islamabad Safe City Project will be fully operational soon as it has passed its test phase and is ready to be implemented after formal inauguration in near future. The official said that the present government had negotiated a substantial increase in scope of the project without adding to project cost. He said that number of cameras have been increased from 1,500 to 1,950 and additional cameras were being installed in consultation with police department at various important locations. He said that integration of security as well as traffic management system of the federal capital under the Safe City Project would not only complement efforts of the law enforcing agencies in prevention, detection and crime control but would also render huge help in resource optimization, especially the human resources. The source said that new technology-based initiatives are being put in place to improve policing, curbing crime and promoting greater liaison between the police and the public and thus making the ICT Police a truly professional, responsive, people-friendly and a premier police force.
