Digital video recorder will help monitor anti-social activities during Deepavali
KEEPING TABS: A digital video recorder set up on East Main Street in Pudukottai.
PUDUKOTTAI: Law-enforcing authorities have taken precautionary measures to check offences at thoroughfares in this town in the wake of the forthcoming Deepavali festival.
The police have for the first time in the town positioned a digital video recorder (DVR) at the East Main Street, a commercial hub of the town dotted with a large number of jewellery marts and cloth centres.
Being the junction point for other thoroughfares in the vicinity, the DVR will facilitate the police personnel to keep a track of anti-social activities, Superintendent of Police Kapil Kumar C. Saratkar said here on Monday. Six cameras have been set up at three places.
They have been linked by closed-circuit television.
An exclusive outpost has been set up at Keezha Raja Veedhi to monitor the DVR. Any unlawful activity will be immediately tackled, he said.
The recordings will be retained for five days for retrieval.
Mr. Saratkar said that the equipment, by itself, would deter criminals.
