Axis - Huancayo – a safer and smarter city

There is more than one way for cities to become smart. In Peru, the city of Huancayo chose to start by optimizing the use of their investment in a video surveillance system. Yes, they installed Axis cameras on the most vulnerable areas of the city based on a crime map so they could prevent criminal activity and curb the rise in incidents in the surrounding area, such as the acts of kidnappers, extortionists and hired killers. And crime has decreased since then. But they also managed to improve the flow of traffic during peak times and to monitor illegal commerce, urban growth and environmental damage. Huancayo became an example of how public administration can do more with less if guided by the principles of prevention and resource optimization.
