Pakistan plans $5.5M tender for security cameras with facial recognition
Sindh, the province of Pakistan has taken an important step towards the cyber security. The government of Sindh has approved the budget for an installation of biometric cameras to increase the security of toll booths across the province.
The cameras will be equipped with facial recognition and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), and the province has budgeted 1.567 billion rupees (US$5.5 million).
Sindh police say that because of its sensitive nature, the contract may be carried out through a government-to-government transaction involving the National Radio Telecom Corporation (NRTC).
Authorities hope the cameras will help reduce crime by identifying vehicles that are stolen or have been involved in hit-and-run incidents.
