Hanoi needs to install 40,000 more surveillance cameras.

Currently, the People's Committees at all levels of Hanoi have deployed 20,405 surveillance cameras and need to install more than 40,000 more cameras. The project, if implemented, will bring positive effects on investment and society, helping people save costs, time and improve the effectiveness of surveillance work.

The Hanoi People's Committee has just issued a Plan to implement the "Overall Project on managing the centralized camera surveillance system in Hanoi".

According to the plan, in June 2025, Hanoi will issue temporary regulations on management, operation, exploitation and use of centralized surveillance camera systems in the city. In 2026, the surveillance camera system will be expanded at key security and order targets in the city.

From 2025 and the following years, the Command Center will be upgraded and a camera system installed to monitor and control traffic to serve security and order, and handle violations for the Traffic Police Department (Hanoi City Police).

In the 2025-2030 period, a camera surveillance system will be installed, invested by departments, branches, and People's Committees of districts, towns, and cities.
