Not only does it help people comply with the law, but it also effectively serves the direction, administration, and state management of ensuring security and order (SOC), social safety, and improving the quality of the movement "All people protect national security (SOC)". That is the effectiveness of the "coverage" of the "Security Camera" system on roads and residential areas in many localities in Yen Bai province in recent years.

Deployed in Nga Quan commune, Tran Yen district since 2021, up to now, the "Security Camera" model has shown clear effectiveness, the security and order situation, social order and safety in the commune are always strictly controlled. In 2023, the Steering Committee for building the "Security Camera" model in Nga Quan commune mobilized the installation of 3 new security cameras with 100% funding from socialized sources, bringing the total number in the area to 15 security cameras.

Mr. Khuat Duy Hong, Ninh Phuc village, Nga Quan commune expressed: "Ninh Phuc village has a straight and wide section of provincial road 163 running through it, so vehicles, especially trucks, often drive very fast, easily causing accidents. Since installing security cameras, I have seen that traffic collisions have decreased significantly, or if they do occur, they are resolved very quickly thanks to the "magic eyes" acting as "referees". Along with that, security cameras also help maintain local security and order better, raising people's awareness of law compliance and vigilance."

The security cameras in the model are regularly maintained, and have good video and image transmission and reception, becoming a powerful assistant to help the authorities easily retrieve images, identify and evaluate the subjects correctly, serving well the investigation and arrest of criminals, accurately handling cases of public order and security, environmental violations, especially cases related to traffic safety and order (ATGT) in the area. In addition, the installation of the security camera system also has a direct impact, helping people raise their awareness of law compliance.

Senior Lieutenant Quoc Thi Hien - Deputy Head of Nga Quan Commune Police showed us the images captured directly from the cameras placed at the intersections of the villages and transmitted to the TV screen placed in the office of the Commune Police and said: "Thanks to these "magic eyes", from the headquarters, we can monitor hot spots, promptly mobilize support forces when detecting signs of law violations, complicated cases of security and order. In 2023 and the first 6 months of 2024, through security cameras, the Commune Police extracted 13 videos, 40 valuable images to help resolve 7 traffic collisions. In particular, thanks to security cameras, the situation of people violating traffic laws, littering or gathering in large crowds... has significantly decreased".

Located in the administrative center of the province, Dong Tam ward, Yen Bai city currently has 161 security cameras on 26 roads. Therefore, all important and complicated points in the ward are monitored 24/7.

Lieutenant Colonel Luong Huy Toan - Deputy Head of the Ward Police informed: "The active cooperation of people and businesses with local authorities and police forces in installing security cameras has greatly contributed to ensuring security and order in the locality. Data extracted from cameras has helped the authorities quickly clarify many cases, handle the right people, the right crimes, and the right law in cases related to security and order, traffic order, and urban order; support local authorities to better manage environmental sanitation issues as well as many other areas".

According to statistics, the whole Yen Bai province currently has 185 "Security Camera" models with over 2,600 camera eyes. The most is Yen Bai city with 65 "Security Camera" models with nearly 900 surveillance cameras; followed by Luc Yen district with 24 models with 276 surveillance cameras; Tran Yen district has 19 models, Van Yen district has 15 models, Yen Binh district has 13 models...

Thousands of cameras in localities are prioritized for installation in areas such as traffic intersections, densely populated areas, areas with many people passing by, areas that used to be hot spots for security and order, traffic safety and order... Data from cameras is often transmitted to the police headquarters of wards and communes to facilitate monitoring, supervision and serve the work of ensuring security and order, preventing crime as well as other violations of the law.

Through the model, with a widespread network of cameras considered as the "magic eye", "extended arm" of the police force at the grassroots level, the management of the area and the implementation of prevention, detection, combat, and handling of security and order incidents and law violations have had many advantages, ensuring speed, accuracy, and timeliness.

In the coming time, Yen Bai Provincial Police will continue to research and advise the Provincial People's Committee and localities to promote the mobilization of people to participate in the work of socializing funding or equipping themselves with cameras to share with the security camera operating system managed and operated by the police force. At the same time, focus on improving the quality of cameras in a smart and modern direction to meet the needs of local management, promptly detect, prevent and handle violations of the law, contributing to improving the quality of the movement of All people protecting national security.
