With static cameras scarcely
proving effective in curbing dumping of waste in public places, the city
corporation has decided to implement mobile camera surveillance in the city to
check illegal dumping of waste. The project is roughly modelled on Hoysala patrol
vehicles being operated by Karnataka police, which are fitted with night vision
cameras. The project will be first implemented at three major dumping points
identified around secretariat. According to sources, the new model is going to
be cost-effective and would have multiple advantages. It is a simple system
incorporating a camera with 5-7 mega pixel resolution, a slot for local storage
and power back up. The unit will be installed in vehicles parked on the
roadside and selected contingency employees will run the unit.
