Plant artificial intelligence devices to street lighting networks to curb crime
EFFORTS are being encouraged to ensure that most business areas in the city of Dar es Salaam have reliable street lighting as a way to remove the darkness on which hoodlums often rely upon to mug those who pass alone at night. While there is talk of installing CCTV equipment in most street lighting zones, chances of actually curbing crime are not that high as such equipment store information or images that have to be put to manual scan for any impression to be made. An improvement is relevant.
A direct method of improving the use of images recorded by CCTV is to connect artificial intelligence equipment to at least a zone with CCTV camera, an AI pool of sorts. That connection will avail an opportunity for anyone harassed or otherwise aggressed on the road to take to the nearest police station and state the time of such action, which would facilitate the reviewing of relevant CCTV images of that moment, or range of minutes.
