The Da Nang authorities plan to install security cameras in the Son Tra Nature Reserve as a part of the on-going security camera project launched in the city in 2015.

Camera systems will be installed in different locations in the Son Tra Mountains to help security forces timely handle traffic accidents or public disorder in the reserve.

Hopefully, the camera system will help the city stop illegal actions and littering at the reserve.

The 4,400ha reserve welcomes about 10,000 visitors each month, but there are no check-points in the area to supervise local residents and tourists entering the reserve, allowing for easy access.

According to latest reports from the city, more than 16,000 cameras have been installed on local treets and outside of living quarters, trading centres, industrial parks, markets, restaurants, hotels, bars and offices in the city since 2015.

All camera systems were operational in 2016 in preparation for hosting the  APEC Economic Leaders’ Week 2017 (AELW) in the city on 5-11 November.
