US police launch new criminal surveillance system

On Aug. 8, New York police announced a new surveillance camera system that could scan street data and suspect data.

A new monitoring system called the Domain Awareness System developed by Microsoft. It can immediately provide a large amount of information to security personnel about the objects they are tracking, outperforming simple surveillance camera networks.

The new system will scan large amounts of information about suspects.

Not only providing live video data, the system will also immediately display criminal records of related subjects in the area and other data forming a portrait of the individual being subjected. monitoring.

Even a car involving a suspect will also be shown where the information was a few months earlier. In such a way, the system will help the investigators to 'rewind' the movie to find the rest of the suspect in any case.

It can be said that the system is a creative tool, promising a revolution in law enforcement, intelligence and public safety. The system will help police officers and other employees quickly access relevant information gathered from existing cameras, instead of calling 911 or other support tools as before.

New York authorities are planning to have about 3,000 cameras connected to the new surveillance system, mostly for financial and commercial agencies in Manhattan.
