(Business in Cameroon) - Install 1,500 video-surveillance cameras in some cities in Cameroon and supply 2,000 portable two-way radios, to enable the Cameroonian Police to better monitor the country. This is the scope of the contract just signed by National Security Delegation (DGSN) and the Chinese company Huawei Technologies.

Among the cities chosen to implement this video-surveillance system are, we learned, the capitals of the ten regions in the country, as well as strategic towns such as Kribi, a tourist city where the commissioning of the biggest port in Cameroon is expected; Kyé-Ossi and Garoua-Boulaï, towns respectively bordering Equatorial Guinea and the Central African Republic; then the towns of Waza, Fotokol, Kousseri and Amchidé, all located in the Extreme-North region and under the Boko Haram menace.

According to Martin Mbarga Nguélé, DGSN, the signing of this contract, whose amount was not revealed, is the result of a conclusive pilot phase. This pilot phase also enabled the defence forces, gendarmerie and presidential guard to ensure security services during the visits of foreign Heads of State in Cameroon on the one hand, and on the other hand, to reconstruct some facts as part of legal proceedings, through the use of recorded images.
