Night vision cameras are rolling out on Goan beaches as the Goa tourism department puts into place its plans to install such devices at 32 beach locations in Goa in a bid to keep tabs on suspicious movements of miscreants on the beach and keep a close watch on such characters.


The tourism department of Goa has a proposal to install such night vision cameras at 32 beach locations, which include 13 locations in norht Goa covering the beaches in Pernem, Bardez, Tiswadi. In south Goa over 19 beach locations identified which include the talukas of, Salcete and Canacona.

The main purpose of the security CCTVs proposal is to ensure security on Goa's beaches and the night vision cameras are proposed to be installed on watch towers used by the beach lifeguards. The tourism department of Goa has already invited tenders for the supply, installation, commissioning and the maintenance of night vision cameras for three years. These cameras are expected to have remote viewing and recording facilities at the beaches,"

Upon the successful installation at the beaches there is a future plan to shift the existing CCTVs (day cameras) to other areas like parking lots in the cities.

The interested parties will have to hold a demonstration of the equipment considering the importance of the equipment from the point of view of security.
