SINGAPORE is heavily populated with security cameras - reports say the police have installed 65,000 cameras since 2012, and they will add another 11,000 over the next four years. But if this gives the impression that you are constantly being monitored, think again.
The CEO of the technology start-up Vi Dimensions, Raymond Looi says: "Surveillance technology today is actually much more primitive than what most people think. There are a lot of security cameras everywhere, but all the video data just gets stored somewhere and goes unused.
"What we are trying to do is harness this untapped potential for surveillance systems by introducing a degree of automation into existing security camera networks. This way, all footage collected can be utilised, making surveillance more effective."
