The mayor of Monterrey, Adrián de la Garza, has proposed the interconnection of the C4 cameras from the capital to Linares, passing through Santiago, Allende, Montemorelos, and Hualahuises over a distance of up to 150 kilometers. According to the presented plan, the aim is to connect the fiber optic system in these municipalities to strengthen surveillance and crime prevention.
The mayor mentioned: "These municipalities already have part of an important surveillance system; I believe that together with Monterrey we could establish a safe Monterrey-Linares corridor where we can connect fiber optic." Furthermore, it is proposed to provide cameras to establish a connection between the municipalities through their Control Centers, with the goal of having real-time information and analysis systems such as license plate detectors.
According to De la Garza, the corridor in the south of the metropolis encompasses a significant area for tourism and recreation in the region, which is why the goal is to strengthen crime prevention and reduce the crime rate in the area. It is believed that establishing a constant surveillance line along these crucial municipalities can not only reduce crime rates but also prevent the occurrence of these crimes on the route that connects the area, which is of great commercial and recreational importance.
The initiative has been supported by the mayors of the region and by Gerardo Escamilla, the state security secretary, as a reinforcement strategy for the southern part of the state, given the focus that the northern area has traditionally had on public security at the state and federal levels.
