These include plans to tap sensors, video analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and drones to ease manpower shortages and improve service efficiencies. As it is, the police have deployed almost 90,000 cameras in public locations, such as car parks and residential estates, across the island. And "many more" will be rolled out in the coming years, according to Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Law K Shanmugam, who spoke at Parliament on Monday.

The DJI FPV drone takes you into the skies with its 4K camera and video goggles
The DJI FPV has officially landed – and this 'First Person View' flier is promising to be an exciting cross between a racing drone and a cinematic, sky-based camera like the DJI Mavic Air 2 . (Want to skip to our early impressions? Head to our hands-on DJI FPV drone review ). The DJI FPV differs from the company's other drones in one key way – rather than flying it via a video feed on a controller screen, you instead get an on-board view thanks to some bundled, head-mounted goggles. This promises to give you the experience of flying like an eagle, or being in the real-world cockpit of a plane on Microsoft Flight Simulator . In this sense, the DJI FPV is similar to racing drones, which have become increasingly popular with the rise of professional competitions like the Drone Racing League (DRL). But DJI's new 'ready-to-fly' drone is less targeted at racing, and more towards beginners who want to try the FPV experience while shooting 4K aerial videos. These are the … [Read more...] about The DJI FPV drone takes you into the skies with its 4K camera and video goggles
