<div>Just to add a comment. The technology will belong in 2 categories :</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- Webcams/low resolution ( low costs ) : Good for general cctv i.e simple views such as traffic movements at roundabouts, highways etc. Can produce a very basic monitoring system and simple results.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- High Resolution ( high costs ) : This can allow the agencies to even read vehicle number plates, capture images of criminal elements etc. Produces meaningful results. Incase of the hilton issue, this technology would have provided monitoring but also capture images to identify the criminal elements.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There can a hybrid system based on the two above. Hopefully some day soon there will be a national security policy to push for the implementation of the correct technology and the training of the security agencies that will help reduce crime.</div>
