Downtown Shreveport to get Video Surveillance Cameras
July 4th 2006 @ 2:58 pm Video Surveillance

As detailed in Video Surveillance Cameras Headed for Downtown Shreveport from KSLA TV’s website, that Louisiana community will be the latest to add video monitoring to its downtown area.  The purpose of the new cameras will be monitoring areas where people tend to gather, such as the Festival Plaza and the Downtown Entertainment District.  While the current plan is to cover Shreveport’s Riverfront Entertainment Area, city officials hope to extend coverage to the city’s new convention center.

The cameras will feature high resolution.  According to one official, “They tell us that you can see if you have a note in your hand. With the cameras, you’ll be able to read the writing on the note. So they’re pretty powerful cameras.”

This security initiative won’t only be electronic.  In addition to the cameras and related monitoring gear, a security/information kiosk will also be installed in the area.
