Albuquerque Announces Security Camera Mapping Network
The city of Albuquerque, N.M., announced it would be launching a program that would network existing security cameras at homes and businesses in an initiative called SCAN, or Security Camera Analytical Network, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
Participation would be voluntary, and officials say the system is designed to cut down on the time investigators spend whether security cameras are in the area of a crime and if so, who they should contact about obtaining surveillance footage of the crime — if the images have not yet been deleted or recorded over.
