Camera system – “divine eye” to keep the border peaceful

This camera system is likened to a “magic eye” that effectively contributes to the management of anti-illegal immigration, smuggling and the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic.

The localities where the border front lines of Quang Ninh province have been installed have newly installed modern camera systems, monitoring at key locations along the border line and connecting to the offices of provincial and city leaders. district to manage. This camera system is likened to a “magic eye” contributing to the effective management of anti-illegal entry and exit, smuggling and the prevention of Covid-19 epidemic by the functional forces.

The intelligent operation center is likened to the headquarters of Mong Cai city, where there is a camera system to monitor all activities of the border city day and night. At hotspots of illegal entry and exit, smuggling such as areas Z1, Z2 in Hai Yen ward, Ka Long ward, Ben Ngoc area (Bac Son commune), Mong Cai city has installed AI camera systems. modern, capable of wide-angle scanning, infrared monitoring even at night. Each image recorded from the camera will be integrated, stored and transferred to the office of the provincial and city leaders.

Mr. Do Van Tuan, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Mong Cai city, said that before the Lunar New Year, the city had installed new surveillance cameras at dozens of key locations such as border gates, Km15 checkpoints, quarantine points. center to improve the efficiency of state management in border areas: “We sit here and can see all activities in border areas and border gates… especially with complicated terrain. Rivers like Mong Cai are not strong enough to spread all 70 km of the border. Initially, we consider this to be a practical and effective measure, especially in the context of the complicated situation of Covid-19 and the complicated situation of illegal entry and exit.

Quang Ninh is the earliest locality under pressure when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out due to its long border both on land and at sea with China. The units of the Quang Ninh Border Guard have maintained more than 90 teams, stationed with hundreds of officers and soldiers on the border since the outbreak until now.

Our wish is that Mong Cai city installs more camera systems and can invest in more systems for border guard posts to manage this camera system. Thus, the timely detection and prevention of illegal entry and exit and the prevention of violations of border regulations by residents of the two countries will be more assured.

Not only in Mong Cai city, border districts such as Hai Ha and Binh Lieu have also installed cameras at key locations, trails, openings or areas with short border distances. Mr. Ho Duc Quang, Chairman of Hai Ha District People’s Committee, said that the 4 cameras located at Ban Moc 13, Quang Duc commune, where the border residents of the two sides often used to go back and forth in the past, really came into play:  “This area is only effective. separated by a stream and many walkable paths. The installation of cameras here has helped the commune and Quang Duc Border Guard station to best monitor immigration activities. The Provincial Party Committee has directed the Provincial Border Guard Command and departments to survey along the border not only Hai Ha but also Binh Lieu and Mong Cai to have a program to install a common vertical camera system. border line. We are implementing it according to the direction of the province”.

The installation of these modern and scientific equipment in Quang Ninh has gradually affirmed its practical significance, reducing the hardship for frontline forces.
