About 15 000 of the state-of-the-art cameras will be rolled out throughout Johannesburg over the next 12 months.

It's hoped the deployment of these ultra-high definition CCTV cameras will make the work of keeping South Africans safe that much easier.The police have welcomed the initiative as they use CCTV in their investigations.

The cameras have a licence plate recognition service that scans about 480 vehicle plates per minute against multiple databases like the SA police's stolen vehicles list. With the reality of load-shedding, the company faces a problem but they say they have back-ups in place.

New CCTV crime prevention initiative beginsAbout 15 000 of the state-of-the-art cameras will be rolled out throughout Johannesburg over the next 12 months. I wouldn't bother, the UK is full of cameras and the crime rate is still soaring. What is needed is a strong judiciary handing out harsh punishments and police that aren't corrupt. Welcome development. Maybe on the second phase they must consider adding facial recognition technology that links to databases of wanted criminals.
