More than 8,000 cameras were added to New York streets since the September 11 terror attacks as part of the city's "Ring of Steel."
Images from more than 8,000 cameras, both private and government-owned, feed into the Lower Manhattan Security Coordination Center, where they're monitored by watch officers. The officers also keep taps on biological and chemical sensors, radiation sensors, and shot-spotter sensors, which detect gunfire, throughout the city. Watch officers and analysts monitor alerts on suspicious packages and persons utilizing video analytics.
Data from the cameras and the detectors, as well as 9-1-1 calls, license plate readers and crime databases is fed into the map-based Domain Awareness System (DAS, which analyzes the information and law enforcement an overview of correlated information and potential threats.
The NYPD also has a desktop "Dashboard" system that receives alerts on unattended packages, stolen vehicles crossing tunnels and bridges, and suspicious odors of hazardous materials.
In addition, the Lower Manhattan Center maintains a vehicle of interest listing to track vehicles utilizing license plate readers, and can go back 30 days to find suspect vehicles. More than 200 license plate readers within the city triangulate information with GPS systems to allow targeted pursuit of specific vehicles.
