Surveillance Security to Hold Major Share
- The growing construction and infrastructure projects and rising criminal activities in the Latin American region are propelling the demand for surveillance systems. Further, the government has invested more to tackle the growth of crimes by implementing mass surveillance systems.
- In the recent past, Eagle Eye Networks announced today one of the fastest completion of a large-scale, fully integrated city-wide surveillance program, installing 13,720 cameras in four months. This project has been a large success for Mexico City C5, contributing to Mexico City's larger "Citizen Safety" mobile application. This mobile application facilitates content sharing for a more effective neighborhood watch and a panic SOS button.
- AI is helping to improve Public Safety in Mexico City. The solution described has been successfully deployed in Mexico City by local authorities. Since its first deployment, the system has improved neighborhood security by 40%. Different districts ("Alcaldias") in Mexico City (CDMX), including Benito Juarez and Cuajimalpa, have deployed RADAR with an impressive reduction in crime rate, putting these "Alcadias" at the forefront of the city's public safety.
- Moreover, in May 2021, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security Brazil launched a bidding process to contract a spying service. The ministry is interested in investing in the Pegasus surveillance software. This system was developed by the Israeli company NSO Group and has been used by several governments in different countries to hack the mobile phones of political opponents, journalists, and human rights defenders.
- Smart city initiatives are gaining new traction across Latin America. Also, urban development through the use of technology by the Latin American government is expected to fuel the demand for surveillance and access control systems in the forecast period.
