Cameras With Facial Recognition on Cities in Afghanistan

 

“Some of the security cameras have high capabilities of facial recognition. We have good achievement in this regard in capturing criminals quickly and providing security in the city,” he said.

 

He also stressed that there have been no contracts with any country regarding the cameras and that efforts are underway to make contracts for camera operations with domestic companies.

 

“The security survey has not been conducted by the analysts yet. After the survey is conducted and the budget is formed, we will then make contracts and will give opportunities to domestic companies,” he said.

 

This comes as earlier the China Project, a New York-based, China-focused news, information, and business services platform reported:

 

“An August 2023 agreement between the Islamic Emirate  and Huawei, China’s giant telecommunications and surveillance technology company, could soon see the rollout of cameras equipped with facial-recognition capabilities in every province of Afghanistan."
