Burkina Faso has launched a new surveillance system, “Security S 24/7,” in Ouagadougou, aiming to enhance public safety and security.

The system features hundreds of video cameras and emergency police teams monitoring the city in real-time, with a central control center linking with security forces for rapid response ¹.

Key Features:

• Real-time Monitoring: The system allows for instant surveillance and response to incidents.
• Enhanced Road Safety: Cameras will help enforce traffic laws, with overspeeding drivers potentially facing jail terms.
• Central Control Center: Links with security forces for swift action when necessary.
• Expanded Coverage: Cameras installed in both Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso.

This initiative is part of a broader national security effort, building on Burkina Faso’s existing cybersecurity strategy. The system is expected to boost efficiency and public safety, with officials emphasizing its importance in maintaining order and security.
