New Orleans RoboCop System


There are these cameras that have been set up in my area to fight crime. The cams are cool but sometimes i feel as if im being watched. these cameras turn 360*. and everything.

The product is was brought to our police force, from the same people who brought PS2's to the Hood ..lol (well at least to the stores lol)

These cams are all over my area., It has made Crime lesser in watched/normaly bad area. but crime has exceeded in areas without them. if we could get Cams throughout the wholse city. Like Every 8 blocks in major areas it would help alot. Especially on highways.

There are people who think that these cames can be shot out or dammaged easily. Sorry these things are Armored. lol...........

check this out.

PARK RIDGE, N.J., Jan. 27, 2005 - The City of New Orleans is employing a new, high-tech approach to fighting crime by deploying a network of IP-based cameras citywide to provide infrastructure protection and increased crime fighting capability. The Sony cameras are configured into systems that are mounted high on power poles above city streets, and have the power to pan, tilt and zoom to help police identify and apprehend criminals. Many of these cameras are currently watching over crime "hot spots" throughout the Sixth Police District in New Orleans. These powerful IP cameras can read a license plate from hundreds of feet away, and feature remote-controlled pan/tilt/zoom, a 25X optical zoom lens, day/night and wireless capabilities. Images captured on the street are digitized and sent via the city's network to a main server archive for Internet-based monitoring from any location - whether it's police headquarters or a patrol vehicle. The New Orleans surveillance camera project is expected to be fully deployed by the end of the year, and will be one of the largest in the country






Guess What. These are the same cameras they used to catch the london Bombers.. Good stuff Eh? ..Here's More

With their pan/tilt/zoom capability, the SNC-RZ30N cameras can be programmed to, in effect, walk a beat just like a police officer walks a beat on the street. The camera can be programmed to capture wide angle shots down a street or to capture close-up shots of people and vehicles. They can even zoom in to deliver crisp, clear images of vehicle license plates.

They Ain't Jokin' With Them Thangz......Read Full Aricle here

As for me, I walk around with my digital camera for Urban Photographic Purposes Only. . I wish I had something like that though. lol
