Innovation, “BatCam” arrives in the Police: the first app in Italy that helps investigations

The app downloaded on your smartphone will be able to provide a precise map of public and private video surveillance cameras . “Security systems help solve 70% of cases but we have difficulty recovering them on the territory. Now instead - explained the police commissioner of Andria, Alfredo Fabbrocini - everything will be simpler because with BatCam, which will be connected to the operations room, it will be possible to census the private and public cameras of the territory to obtain a precise and effective mapping”. “The data will be reverberated in the control room”, clarified the commissioner. No violation of privacy: “every piece of data is archived in compliance with current regulations, and every access is monitored”, assured Giovanni Lombardi, engineer and president of the Tecno group that created the app. “The goal is to shorten the intervention time when a crime is committed”, continued Fabbrocini. “We hope not only that citizens understand the usefulness and collaborate but also that, following the example of this province, similar initiatives can be implemented in other cities,” concluded Francesca Fava, director of the territorial control service of the Rome department.
