The police will put up cameras in 300 Housing Board blocks and multi-storey carparks to deter and solve crime.

It will use the footage to assist in investigations. This is part of the police's plan to install a total of 10,000 in entry and exit points by 2016.

These plans, as part of a new policing system that will leverage on technology, were announced last March in Parliament.

The first seven locations include Bishan, Tampines and Woodlands. Feedback on the cameras will be collected, before the next phase starts in the last quarter of this year.

High-tech security cameras are being installed in the first phase of a new network that will eventually extend across the island.

More than 10 have been fitted in Jalan Bukit Merah, in a move that will give police a fresh tool to help tackle crime in the estate.

Unlike ordinary security cameras, the new system is designed to capture people both entering and leaving the area.

Residents in Jalan Bukit Merah are hoping that the technology will rid them of the loan shark runners who have defaced debtors' doors, targeted neighbouring flats and vandalised motorbikes.
