The municipality of Carolina, the fourth largest city and industrial capital of Puerto Rico, implemented a mobile command center with Firetide-based wireless video surveillance. It has assisted police in apprehending drug dealers and confiscating arms in remote mountain areas, prevented car thefts and burglaries in several commercial and local shopping centers and monitored crowds at special events.
As surveillance video has grown increasingly popular, it’s popped up in more places. It watches the cashier in retail stores. It captures license plates as cars enter and exit parking lots.
