With an aim to enhance safety and security of their locality, residents of Civil Lines in north Delhi district have installed close-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in association with Delhi Police under the 'Neighbourhood Watch Scheme'.
The project was inaugurated today by Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi at a function organised by the Residents Association 'Club Class' at Shah Auditorium.
During the programme, Bassi lauded residents of Civil Lines for their participation in such a project. The resident's association has installed 67 cameras spread in 16 clusters and covering over 2,000 households.
These are quality mega-pixel cameras with recording facility at each cluster and it would further be connected through Internet to provide viewing facility at any remote locations including a monitoring station set up at Civil Lines police station, a Delhi police official said.
"As policemen cannot always be present at all places, efforts of community policing and appropriate usage of technology go a long way to contribute towards making the city safe and secure," said an official.
