Hundreds sign up for 'Miracle Eyes'
More than 500 home and business owners have already put their names down for the Miracle Eyes project, which involves the installation of a closed-circuit television system (CCTV) for safety in Bangkok.
Deputy Metropolitan Police Commissioner Maj-General Adul Narongsak yesterday expressed confidence that at least a million CCTV cameras would be installed under the project in the next three years.
“Early next month, we will install cameras for the first 500 participants,” he said.
Under the project, CCTV cameras will be installed at homes or businesses, and linked to control centres overseen by the Metropolitan Police Bureau. Each property will be watched over by the surveillance cameras, and should anything happen, its “redline” system will automatically inform the property owner and police.
The Bt300 per month Miracle Eyes package offers one to three cameras; the medium Bt750 per month package offers four to 10 cameras; while the large package costs between Bt1,500 and Bt2,000 per month and includes 11 to 100 cameras. The project is set to be launched on November 5.
