City Hall wants eyes all over the city and says it'll have 100,000 closed-circuit television cameras across the capital within the decade.

BMA traffic boss Jumpol Sampaothong says fibre optics will be laid so pictures can be transferred from distance. At present there are just 24 fibre-optic lines for 5,000 traffic-control and public-safety cameras. The future system will be able to handle one million gigabytes of information and will cost Bt100 million.
