Financial Mail: Cape Town’s Crime Fighters go Hi-Tec
Cape Town, 25.5.2023
Security is absolutely key in the affordable housing space, especially in historically disadvantaged areas. Besides many community based initiatives, Citra has been using drone surveillance to ensure the residents and construction teams are safe at all times.
There have been countless instances where our drone was able to assist our residents, security guards, or even the local police with crime fighting.
The City of Cape Town is exploring the same approach. The effectiveness of the approach has caused the Financial Mail to publish an article about this initiative.
